Cellulite affects 8 out of 10 women and can affect men as well. The sad truth is that any one of us can develop cellulite. If there is anything good about having it, it is that there are several ways to treat it, and you don’t have to spend an entire fortune on it. Many people try to treat cellulite on their own first. Home treatments are quite popular, so find out which one might work best for you.
Coffee
Massage coffee grounds on the areas on your skin where you have cellulite, and then wrap the affected areas using plastic wrap like cellophane. The warmer the area, the better, so you may want to wear something warm while doing this. It helps the application penetrate the skin better. Use an essential oil with the coffee grounds to make application easier.
Kitchen Remedies
It is not a revelation that herbs and other kitchen remedies can help treat several health conditions, whether it is to soothe affected areas or as a preventative measure. Many herbs and kitchen remedies have been used specifically to treat cellulite. Green tea is among the most popular products. Other combinations include:
- Dried thyme and a bit of grapefruit juice. Mix them together in corn oil and apply the solution to your hips, thighs and buttocks.
- Rosemary, fennel oils and almond oil. Apply to areas where cellulite is present.
A tip is to use a heating pad on the areas after applying the herbal mixtures. This helps the skin absorb the mixture better.
Other Solutions
There are many other natural treatments you can use on affected areas. Aloe vera can be used to soothe and heal the skin and improve microcirculation so that damaged skin tissues can be repaired. You may also try applying bentonite clay, which sucks in toxins from the skin and clears the pores. You can even add herbs to your regular skin lotion or cream before applying it to your skin. Try horsetail, kelp and Ginkgo biloba, as these herbs have been found to improve immunity and convert glucose in the blood.
Diet and Exercise
Eat more foods that maintain glucose levels in your body, such as vegetables and fruits. It is also important to drink enough water to flush away wastes and toxins from your body. Avoid eating fatty foods and foods that do not have enough nutritional content.
Of course, you need to exercise regularly to burn fat and prevent more cellulite from forming.
As you can see, there are a number of natural remedies for cellulite. If you want more convenient ways to treat cellulite, try dedicated creams and products. Be careful, though. There are no creams that contain all-natural ingredients, which are safe and easy to apply. Just choose the product wisely.
