Reduce the Look of Cellulite for Cheap

July 7, 12:16 PM
 
 

 
Although no topical cream will permanently take away cellulite (don't we wish...) products are getting better and better over the years in temporarily reducing the look of cellulite. 

Many women saw immediate results from certain lotions and creams, although the effects are very temporary.  Once you stop using them, the dreaded look of cellulite immediately returns.  So apply twice a day for times you will be sporting your new bikini.

Some of these creams can be very costly, but Soap & Glory Slimwear Puff-Draining Peptide Balm is pretty effective and has gotten great reviews.  And at only $13, it's a great budget buy compared to more costly alternatives.  This product is sold in Europe at Boots stores, but Target stores across the U.S. sell the product line as well.

Since caffeine is the key ingredient in many anti-cellulite creams, another cheap alternative is to use ground coffee beans.

For an invigorating scrub that will also help exfoliate your skin:

1. Combine ground coffee beans with olive oil, while in the shower (some like to add in some lemon juice for more exfoliating power.) 

2.  Rub into your skin while in the shower and rinse off. 

3.  After you rinse, you may continue to massage the cellulite area.  According to dermatologist in SELF magazine, "Fat doesn't have a lot of blood flow, so kneading the skin helps increase circulation and lessens the appearance of lumps."
