Homemade Body Wraps To Reduce Cellulite

September 21, 2012

Cellulite also referred to as ‘orange-peel’ or ‘cottage cheese’ skin is a common problem, particularly in women. It usually affects the skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, and other areas of fat deposits.

Contrary to the popular misconception, this unsightly, dimpled appearance of skin is not caused by obesity. It is caused by hormonal factors, genetic factors, alteration of connective tissue structure, excessive dieting, changes in metabolism, high-stress lifestyle, and certain other factors.

Though there is no definitive treatment for cellulite, it is believed that exercising and massaging the skin can help reduce this problem.

Moreover, you can consider using body wraps to improve circulation to the skin and get rid of cellulite to some extent. Hydrating the skin and losing excess weight can also help.

Homemade Cellulite Reduction Recipes

  • • Slightly heat half a cup of coffee grounds mixed with extra-virgin olive oil in a microwave for 20 seconds. Spread the mixture on the affected area and apply a plastic wrap on it. You can also use a cellophane sheet for this purpose. Leave it for 20-30 minutes and then wash it off with warm water.

     

  • • Another recipe involves massaging warm coffee grounds on the affected area, wrapping it with moist seaweed strips, followed by a plastic wrap.

    After half an hour, remove the wrap and rinse the skin with warm water while massaging it in circular motion. You can use this recipe a couple of times in a week.

    Apply this mask on your skin, wrap a plastic wrap on it and wash it off after 20-30 minutes. Follow this treatment on a weekly basis.
