Cellulite is a woman’s greatest enemy, which has no age or weight limit.
But what about those ugly lumps of fat on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks or arms, which are almost impossible to get rid of?
Don’t despair! We’ll reveal one Brazilian secret that will help you solve this little problem.
After today you will know the reason why women from this South American country almost always have nearly perfect bodies.
Nowadays many dermatologists also use this recipe, and they will gladly charge you considerable sums of money for it.
So what is that secret?
You’ll probably be surprised, but it’s ordinary coffee containing caffeine.
Caffeine helps reduce swelling around fat cells and thus ensures a smoother appearance of women’s skin.
This method is very simple. If you apply it every day for several weeks, the result will surely pleasantly surprise you.
Of course, you will help and even enhance the positive result by following the principles of a healthy diet during the treatment.
Now let’s take a closer look at how to make our anti-cellulite preparation.
Ingredients
To make it you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 part granulated sugar
- 1 part caffeinated coffee grounds
- 1 part olive oil (you can use a little less oil and add a bit of water instead for a better paste consistency)
Preparation method
To make the best paste, put all the ingredients into a blender and mix them at medium speed until you obtain a smooth mixture.
Then pour this anti-cellulite paste into a container with a lid.
Application
Whenever you shower, first wash as usual. Then turn off the shower and apply this paste to the areas affected by cellulite.
Then massage it into the skin in circular motions.
Do this for several minutes, then rinse the paste off with water and thoroughly dry your skin with a towel.
Sugar acts on the skin like a gentle brush that removes the outermost dead layer of skin.
Olive oil smooths and hydrates your skin.
And caffeine works its magic in the meantime!
Repeat this procedure every day, or at least 2 to 3 times a week. You’ll start to see a difference fairly soon, usually after a few weeks.
Health benefits of coffee massage
How exactly can coffee tackle cellulite and work wonders on the skin? It has several great effects.
1. Antioxidant effects
The main active substance in coffee, as you surely know, is caffeine, which besides its stimulating properties is also a natural antioxidant.
It helps prevent heart disease and has also been found to have a protective effect against cancer, especially liver cancer.
Antioxidant effects, in the case of the skin, neutralize the effects of free radicals that can damage its inner layers. Such damage often manifests as spots, wrinkles, or cellulite.
When coffee is applied to the skin, antioxidants are absorbed into it, which helps prevent signs of premature aging.
2. Removal of dead skin layers
Since the coffee massage is performed together with sugar, they act together as removers of the outermost dead layer of skin.
Such regular massage removes not only dead skin cells but also dirt, giving the skin a youthful and fresh appearance. When dead cells that were blocking the passage of substances are removed from the skin, the skin is then able to absorb moisture more effectively.
Therefore, every cosmetic procedure should include some method of removing dead cells similar to what a coffee massage does.
3. Improved blood circulation
Some people even use coffee for varicose veins. We wrote about a recipe for varicose veins in another article.
As for cellulite, caffeine typically increases blood flow to the skin, which helps reduce the factors that contribute to the formation of characteristic lumps.
Besides, the massage itself and the compression of the skin already help release trapped or accumulated toxins and fats from it.
4. Skin texture
Caffeine is a substance that dilates blood vessels, thereby again helping to bring blood to the areas where it acts — in our case, the skin.
In the end, by supplying oxygen and nutrients, it helps improve the texture, firmness, and elasticity of your skin.
5. Aromatherapy
Coffee oil is often used in aromatherapy. The scent of coffee helps clear the mind of accumulated thoughts.
Its scent also acts as an antidepressant and can suppress feelings of nausea.
The same benefits are obtained not only by applying coffee oil but also by performing a coffee massage.
Overall mental well-being thus contributes to better functioning of internal organs, which after some time necessarily reflects in the quality of your skin.
