What Are the Most Popular Home Remedies for Cellulite?

Cellulite is one of the most common cosmetic flaws that affect women. While the causes of cellulite are not completely understood, experts believe hormones, genetics, diet, and exercise play a role in its development.

The dimpling of skin can occur throughout the body, but often occurs on the stomach, thighs, buttocks, and arms. While there are home remedies that can help prevent and reduce cellulite, the most effective cellulite treatments are performed by physicians.

Coffee Grounds

Coffee grounds are a popular treatment for men and women seeking to reduce the appearance of cellulite in specific areas of the body. After brewing a pot of coffee, gently massage coffee grinds into target areas while in the shower. Allow the coffee grinds to set on the skin for about five minutes, then rinse.

Sea Salt

Add a cup or two of sea salt to a bath and sit in the tub for 20 to 30 minutes.

Apply a Solution of Essential Oils

Try massaging a mix of lavender, coconut, fennel, rosemary, sandalwood, germanium, cinnamon, chamomile, clove, juniper, cedar wood or patchouli oil into affected areas.

Botanical Ingredients

Use lotions that contain botanical ingredients such as ivy barley, kola nut, lemon, and strawberry.

The best cellulite reduction results are typically achieved with use of medical-grade treatments performed at the office of a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Contact the office of Dr. Mark Deuber to learn about the cosmetic treatments we offer.
