Those leftover coffee grounds that you throw away every morning could be the answer in a quest against cellulite.
How Do Coffee Grounds Get Rid of Cellulite?
Though the used grounds have already been brewed, there’s still enough caffeine in them to wage war against fat and cellulite.
The caffeine makes the fat cells seem to shrink, by reducing inflammation via the caffeine.
It’s messy, but it does work!

How to Use Coffee Grounds to Get Rid of Cellulite
Apply used coffee grounds to cellulite-ridden areas. You can mix with a carrier oil, such as sunflower oil or almond oil, if you’d like.
Leave the used coffee grounds sitting on your skin for a few minutes for the greatest effect.
While it works as a scrub, many people get even better results by wrapping the coffee ground-covered body parts with a tight wrap, such as an old towel, to keep the grounds on for an extended time (like the time it takes to wash your hair and face).
It is double duty for coffee grounds that would have ended up as trash.
Even better, if you don’t wash the coffee grounds down the drain, you can recycle them into your garden soil to add acid to the soil. (Here are more awesome ways to use trash in your garden.) Weird, but true! 🙂

I’ve definitely loved dabbling in this whole DIY coffee scrub rage right now lol – but getting the “why” behind coffee on skin is so great (in this read) I appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
