Orange peel look, Knots, bumpy skin, dimpled bum, skin fat etc etc you may name it anything, at the end it is all that ugly cellulite. dont we dream of that gorgeous airbrushed look of our skin? that dream is never gonna be just dreams any more.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • cucumber
  • used coffee residue
  • water
  • honey
  • lime
  • food wrap/ plastic wrap
  • root brush or coarse hand towel/ flannel
  1. Step 1

    leave a slice of cucumber in a glass of water over night. drink the water next day morning when ever you feel like but all in a single go.

  2. Step 2

    Coffee as it keeps us going for good to work, will also help that cellulite go away from your system. wonder what the coffee shop people do with all that filtered residue off those machines?? just tell them you will use it for a college project, add a little water to the left over coffee residue or make your own, make a paste, apply on the affected area, wrap it up tight with the food wrap/ plastic wrap for it to stay a little longer on your skin. scrub it off your skin and wash. you will be surprised with the results.

  3. Step 3

    Now some revision of those alphabets, write A to Z on the wall, but with your bum, pressed a little hard against the wall, you can do it once in capitals and once in small letters. sounds crazy but it is tried and tested.

  4. Step 4

    Rubbing the dry skin making number 8 in clockwise direction, with a coarse hand towel or a root brush on the bum and thighs, before the shower will help the blood circulation to the epidermis of the skin, which aids in draining the skin of accumulated fat deposits and dead cells. do not rub too harsh else you will be left with sore and much ugly skin. apply plenty of moisturize after.

  5. Step 5

    a glass of luke warm water with half a tea spoon honey and half lemon squeezed will act as a catalyst to get rid of that ugly cellulite. taking this with empty stomach is fast acting.

  6. Step 6

    check if your skin is too dry, dry skin means dehydrated system, 8 glasses of water we all know but ladies warm water! yes you read it correct, 8 glasses of luke warm water atleast for two days before getting into that bikini works wonders.

Tips & Warnings
  • collect the ground coffee residue till you are satisfied with the amounts, warm it up in a microwave and acts the same as the residue from the coffee shop, if you are a little shy to go up to the coffee shop.
  • nothing hot should be applied on to the skin.

on 8/19/2008 These all sound pretty cool. Thanks for the article and the information that it isn't just fat but also bad circulation that causes cellulite. ;-)

on 8/17/2008 I think this all makes sense. I approve of home remedies to do at home, as opposed to the expensive overrated treatments at the beauty salons.The warm water tip is good!
