Coffee Grounds and Baby Oil

Using Coffee grounds to get rid of cellulite works, but can be messy. Try mixing the coffee grounds with a little Baby Oil and rub it in just before you take a shower. Much less mess and the ground simply wash off in the shower.

Temporary only Comments By: anon This will only temporariy reduce the appearance of cellulite. The moisture (the baby oil) "plumps up" the skin cells resulting in a smoother look. Nothing has yet been scientifically proven to remove cellulite - it is a natural condition most women have, thought to be caused by fat cells being extruded into the dermis layer of the skin.   lack of calcium Comments By: kendi cellulite is proven to be caused by a calcium deficency.   Used Comments By: Anon Should the coffee grounds be used or what TipKing says : The tips all relate to USED coffee grounds   it works Comments By: vickie in georgia tried this and was amazed..let me tell you ..absolutely amazed ...if youre a skeptic ..you wont be if you try it.. all you got to lose is the cellulite..   Works Like A Charm Comments By: Me I started using this about a year ago. A few times a week I would rub the "used" coffee grounds onto my thighs and backs of legs. I also wrapped them with saran wrap and left for about ten minutes. Sometimes would rub it in with the saran wrap on. There was a difference after the FIRST time, it's awesome! It also seemed to take off inches in my thighs. However if you don't keep it up the cellulite comes back but this does work amazing well and FAST!   Celluite is GENETIC NOT Calcium Deficit! Comments By: nurse05 Cellulite is NOT proven to be caused by a Calcium deficiency. It is GENETIC and can made worse by fat but that's not the main cause. I am 5'5" and weigh 120 and have had 2 children. At fourteen I only weighed 75 pounds and was already beginning to get cellulite! Exercise can help due to the muscle makes the "bumps" appear smoother. The coffee grounds get into the fat cells and get them moving just the way that it does your body when you drink it! Seriously this does work. At least try it once. You have NOTHING to lose but of course nasty cellulite. Oh yea my cellulite probably was reduced by 60% if not more!   I drink milk all day, everyday. Comments By: Tonya I have been a constant milk drinker since birth I guess. I put away at least a gallon every other day. I would say I don't have a calcium problem. I am 24 and have a good case of cellulite in my buttocks especially. I will say 110 percent, that cellulite is not caused by lack of calcium. I will also say that I drink about a gallon of caffinated sweet tea a day. I have been drinking tea like this for 10+ years. I believe my cellulite is caused by this. And the milk might even contribute to it also. It's hard to say. But this is my daily routine-I eat cereal about 2-3 times/day, I constantly pour myself some of my worlds best homemade tea, I might eat a real meal sometimes. But usually my meals are high fiber cereal(my favorite is Frosted Mini Wheats) and milk. I used to drink whole milk until about a year ago switched to 2 percent. But it has to be one of the two that causes cellulite. I am positive of it. Either the caffeine or milk! I did use some used coffee grounds in the shower as a scrub on the front and back of my thighs and on my butt tonight and it really worked wonders. I scrubed in an upward motion, from my knees upward. I did not add baby oil though.I just made a empty coffee can just for used coffee grounds so I can do this often. I was very pleased at the results. I love the internet!!!!   OMG It works....amazing Comments By: Erica Wow...I was desperate to give anything a try but rubbing warm used coffee grounds on your legs then wrapping with Saran Wrap really works. It totally reduced my cellulite appearance in just once use. Wow...imagine after 2 uses. :-)   Desperate in the UK! Comments By: Jacqueline Hi, just found your site after looking across the world for something to help me get rid of my damn cellulite! Havent tried it yet, but will in the morning (it's night time here now), and hope to report back. What's a Saran Wrap, by the way?!   Sensitivity Comments By: Tara I have extremely sensitive skin...should I shave before or after I use the coffee grounds? Also, I did do this once and it was great I used it like I was exfoiliating and my skin felt awsome! PS My hands got really tingly and uncomfortable after handling the coffee, use gloves...and prepare to clean your shower ;)   Question please Comments By: Diana I am definitely going to try this but I have a question do the coffee grounds have to be used? TipKing says: I think the tip calls for used grounds   I will try it Comments By: Sakari I heard on the news about his cellulite treatment and decided to google and i got this site i will try it starting tonight....im a coffee junkie so i have plenty of used coffee ground im a big skeptic but we shall see hopefully this treatment will work   Confused Comments By: Thisisfrustrating I always hear a ton of success stories from coffee grounds but for some reason it's not working for me. What exactly does "used" mean? I bought caffeinated coffee grinds at the store, mixed it with Olive Oil and rubbed into the back of my thighs, then put surran wrap on. That didn't do too much twice and it was messy so for the last 3 days I've just been mixing the coffee grinds with olive oil, warming a little, then rubbing into my thighs and leaving tights on so they stay overnight. My cellulite case is mild so, I'd think it should work.. haven't really noticed a change. Am I doing something wrong?   Answer to confused Comments By: Clarifier Used coffee means exactly what it is. What you are using is unused coffee. Used coffee means that you take the coffee from the machine after you have made coffee and the stuff that you usually throw out is what you would use for the purpose! How hard is that?   Get your used coffee grounds from Starbucks Comments By: www.usafilmproduction.com Hi Starbucks will give you used coffee grounds for free - it even comes in a beautifully wrapped bag!   saran wrap - uk - Comments By: Paintgrrrrl To the UK poter that asked what saran wrap is - its cling film in the uk. Trying it now   used grounds Comments By: jenny i live in england and when i make a cup of coffee i dont throw anything out. i put a spoon full of granules , some sugar and milk in a cup. then i pure boiling water in and stir it. i dont understand this used grounds stuff. wot does it mean ?   what it is? Comments By: anan i'm from uk too and i have no idea what coffee grounds are... i really hoped i could do it.   To the confused in UK Comments By: Lucie What you are referring to as granules, is instant coffee. What you need is the actual ground up coffee beans, which you put into a coffee maker/coffee press and once the hot water has run through the coffee grounds, voila, you have the USED leftovers which is what you can rub on your bottom. Hope this helps.   I tried, it works!!!! Comments By: Cynthia I had heard of this before and just thought yea, ok whatever. I was pretty bored and thought, hmmm, let me just try it. I scrubbed my thighs and rubbed in very well. washed it off. After I towel dried, WOW I could see a big difference!! I will make this a part of my weekly routine for sure! Im also gonna try the olive oil and saran tip to kick it up a notch!!!   coffe grounds for cellulite Comments By: anon Can unused coffee grounds be used? Is it better, or ?   Wow!!! sounds like my praiser has been answer Comments By: Karina Mejia this sound like a miracle cure. I will try it tonight...I wonder if this will work to get ridoff stomach fat! does anyone know...or perhaps anyone knows of a natural way to resude stomach fat?   So- called calcium deficiency Comments By: Mo I personally do not agree with the cause of cellulite being a calcium deficiency because I take supplements EVERYDAY , I drink milk, and I take coral calcium, and I STILL have cellulite!!   Hope this works Comments By: Margie Nielsen What do you guys wrap the coffee grounds in to apply it to your skin? do you have to use oil or can you just use the coffee? and do any of you use it on the tops of your arms? and how long do you rub it in for?   Love it Comments By: Sarah I do this and I love it. And after, my skin is amazingly soft. I highly recommend the use with olive oil for added moisture that is locked in. The coffee grounds are amazing. I even use a little on my face, I just dont rub and it has a great tightening effect!   UK coffee grounds... Free from Sainsburys Comments By: Helen Hi, I got my USED coffee grounds from the cafe in Sainsburys. Sainsburys will give you as much as you want. They save them for people who want to use them on their compost heaps and advertise in store (cafe) to ask if you want any...   Used coffee grounds!! Comments By: Jessica Haven't tried yet...I have a problem... I don't drink coffee..can i just buy the unused grounds at the store and use that..or will that not work?   cellulite Comments By: catherine can you just rub in coffee granules from a jar and baby oil TipKing says: No, the tip calls for the use of coffee grounds not coffee granules   AWESOME! Comments By: Bronwyn South Africa I stumbled across the idea of coffee alleviating cellulit, when Cindy Crawford told Oprah once about using it, and that was about 12 years ago. Recently I've made it an absalute habit that every second day I take my mixture, which is actually ground unused coffee from the store, which still works, and bath oil, and I massage my entire body with it. All over my arms my tummy my legs and even my face once a week. And it's amazing how soft and supple my skin is. I have been doing this for about two years now, through my pregnancy as well, and I also have cellulite legs that run in our family,and I can tell you that my celulite is not visible any more unless my legs are really sqeezed, and if I hadn't used this coffee mixture habitually every week, it would be far far worse! Don't forget to moisturize afterwards as well ladies!Very important too   coffee grounds vs. instant coffee Comments By: bel whats the difference bet. coffee ground and instant coffee rubbing in your body both have a caffeine.. im using the instant coffee...advice pls so il stop using it if its wrong using the instant coffee...thank you   How so? Comments By: catherine This is my frist im going to use the coffee grounds,do i leave it on all day or how long 5,10 mintues...   Small red bumps and itch. Comments By: Latte lover I used it a little too often I think cause after five days straight of coffee ground scrubs before the shower my skin became inflated and itchy. I stopped doing the scrub right away but the itch and small bumps on my upper thighs, bum and arms still remains. It' been three days. I have used baby rash formula, Papal, and Vaseline...my "coffee rash" will not go away. Lesson...don't overdue it. Your skin will be mad at you!   Caffine? Comments By: Katie Does it need to be caffinated coffee grounds- I drink mostly decaff, is the caffine the important bit?   D: didnt work Comments By: becka i used coffee grounds and shea butter lotion :/ and im guessing that doesnt work? step by step instructions please?   Clueless Comments By: BPQ I do not drink coffee. I will not buy the instant coffee but I am confused about the grounds. If I purchase grounds, can I "cook" them in an inexpensive coffee maker or is there some special handling involved? sounds like a great remedy but I dont want to use the money on the wrong method esp. since I am not a coffee drinker. Thanks....   FABULOUS BODY SCRUB Comments By: Cid Just wanted to let you all know that you can add all kinds of stuff to your used coffee bean grounds to make an amazing body scrub that exfoliates and moisturizes your skin. I sometimes add almond oil, hazelnut oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E in various combinations. If you want you can add brown sugar, sea salt, and/or honey. I also add a touch of vanilla or essential oil for fragrance. You can even add some ground oatmeal and/or aloe vera for their soothing properties. I use my scrub every day in the shower, and it makes my skin really soft. An extra bonus is if you leave it on your skin for a few minutes, it acts as a colorant, and your skin looks tan. It's way cheaper than buying a body scrub from a salon, and you get to experiment with what you like and what works on your skin. I'm addicted to this stuff!   YEAH!!!!!! Long story But worth it!!!! Comments By: Stephanie I have been working out religiously for about 2 months now. I'm not overweight but just very unhappy. The problem I was having was with my cellulite on my legs and surprisingly enough my bra fat line (sorry don't know what else to call it). I read about this and decided to try it. I was shocked. Thanks to my mothers bad bad genes cellulite has always been a major problem. I never would wear shorts and always used a wrap on the beach. I used this and then wrapped in plastic wrap losely. I even put on my stomach, side and back area. When i was done it was amazing. I highly recommend this. i have done it twice a week for about 2 months. I leave on for about 20 minutes though. But good news is little effort but i bought shorts and even went to the beach last month in just my bathing suit.   YEAP Comments By: Ricki After reading a natural Asian Health Book that I had for fouteen years and finally started to read it...The Used Coffee Grinds work. I wash my face first and then I used Used Coffe Grinds I store in my Frig and exfoliate my skin. My "GOD" after this scrub, my face is so smooth and now I do my entire body. I also do Coffee Enemas and the toxins that come out of my body is amazing. When I first started the coffee enemas, I was sneezing, etc and that was because of the toxins. I am 42 years old and I HONESTLY LOOK 25 or 26 years of age. The body will heal it's self. Another book I recommend is Lousie Hayes for internal and external (mentally and physically) cleaning. IT WORKS....The Coffee Grinds.   wow Comments By: hanna wow i am using sidamo arabica coffee from sainsburys too the fragrant is like apricot and mediom rosted i also use it with few drop lemon to balance my oily skin, i think coffee is natural gift for womens skin care.   Coffee Grinds Face Exfoliant Comments By: Angie I not only exfoliate my whole body with coffee grinds but my face also. My skin is dry and flaky in the winter but it is also oily and acne prone and extremely sensitive. Yet since I gave this a try my skin has never looked better. People have definitely noticed a big difference in my skin. And I haven't had one break out. I get an occasional small pimple but, nothing like before. This sounds weird but once a week mix it with ur hair conditioner after shampooing leave it in for 2 mins. or so, and rinse very very well. Your hair feels strange but dries amazing!   Coffee Grinds Face Exfoliant Comments By: Angie I not only exfoliate my whole body with coffee grinds but my face also.

But mixing the grinds and baby oil made my skin super soft feels amazing. I will try for a few weeks and let you know how it goes:)
