Cellulite is caused by blockages in the lymphatic system. Due to these blockages, toxins canât be removed from the body and they accumulate in the fat cells. This causes the lumps and bumps that are cellulite.
One of the main causes of these blockages is the humble coffee. While you will be fine if you drink two or three cups a day, if you are a heavy coffee drinker then you need to be alert to the fact that it could be contributing to your cellulite.
Where coffee and cellulite have a more positive relationship, is when it is applied externally to the skin. The diuretic properties of the caffeine helps the body to remove any built up toxins. It can also make the body remove the fat from underneath the skin, helping to improve the look of the cellulite.
Probably the simplest way to use coffee to remove cellulite is to take some coffee grounds and mix it with moisturizer. Massage this mixture into the skin. The caffeine will be absorbed through the skin to the cellulite layer underneath where it will directly target the cellulite fat. The grounds will also help to exfoliate the outside of the skin, helps to remove dead cells and improve the texture.
