Cellulite-Busting Body Scrub + Seaweed Wrap

Cellulite can affect women of all shapes and sizes. Thanks to genetics, poor diet, dehydration, lack of exercise, hormones, reduced circulation and thickness of skin and body fat, we often can end up with the unattractive dimpling and bulges of cellulite. There are expensive spa treatments now that target cellulite through massage technology, but sessions are expensive and results can vary. This cellulite-busting body scrub and seaweed body wrap are the perfect combination for battling cellulite just like the spas do, but in the privacy and comfort of home, without the hefty price tag.

Cellulite Coffee Scrub :

While drinking coffee can deplete our tissues of fluid, applying coffee topically can actually help fight cellulite. The caffeine in coffee can temporarily tighten and tone tissue, and also help eliminate toxin build up, one of the causes of cellulite.

 

Cellulite Seaweed Body Wrap

Body wraps are a wonderful way to cleanse the body by removing toxins and excess fluids. Seaweed is believed to increase blood circulation and lymph flow, in addition to delivering vital minerals and vitamins and improving skin texture. All of these health and beauty benefits make seaweed a go-to ingredient in cellulite reduction treatments.

If time is short you can just choose one of the two treatments to concentrate on. But if you’ve got a free evening to experiment, feel free to incorporate them both, first the exfoliating scrub, followed by the body mask. Be sure to follow any body wrap with plenty of fluids as you will want to hydrate from inside.
