Cellulite
is one of those words that becomes instantly contagious. Once one
woman in the room complains about her thighs, it's just a matter of
time before another chimes in about her rear end. Whether or not any
of these ladies' complaints have merit (and, according to this
study,
they usually do), dimpling of the skin is a
huge source of insecurity for women of all sizes.
The
participant was told to take seaweed baths twice a week for 20
minutes. Although her skin seemed a bit tighter directly after
soaking and decreased the appearance of her cellulite, results were
short lived. As soon as her body cooled down and her skin softened,
her cellulite reappeared like normal.
Result: Temporarily reduces cellulite.

The
participant was told to mix coffee grounds with hot water in the
shower and scrub for 10 minutes twice a week. Coffee increases
circulation (and therefore, helps reduce the appearance of
cellulite), and the participant reported that it was fairly easy to
apply the scrub. She even noted that it had a refreshing smell. After
4 weeks of the coffee scrub, she noticed that her skin was firmer and
smoother.
Result: Pure coffee scrubs are an effective cellulite treatment.

The
participant was told to create a scrub using cocoa butter, raw cane
sugar and coffee grounds. She recommends performing the scrub in the
bathtub or another area that can easily be cleaned up afterwards,
since it is a messy treatment. After scrubbing her skin for 10
minutes, there was an immediate reduction in the look of the skin,
and it was much less dimpled. The effect lasted a day or
so.
Result: This moisturizing scrub is a temporary but messy cellulite treatment.

The
participant was told to rub honey on the affected area. According to
the participant, the first two attempts felt like a trip to the waxer
-- she put too thin of a layer on and each attempt to rub the honey
into my dimpled flesh resulted in hair-pulling agony. Even with an
ample squeeze from the teddy bear container, it was a bother and
added an arbitrary extra step to her morning routine, with little to
show for other than a sticky toilet seat and really nice smelling
thighs.
Result: Did not reduce cellulite and is potentially painful.

The
participant was instructed to create a scrub using epsom salt and
eucalyptus oil. After the first few uses, she noticed an exfoliating
and moisturizing effect on her skin. Despite the softening of the
affected area, the cellulite remained intact.
Result: Did not reduce cellulite but effectively exfoliated and moisturized.

The
participant was instructed to combine apple cider vinegar and juniper
oil and apply the combination to the affected area for 20 minutes
several times a week. She found the best way to get the concoction on
was by using paper towels. According to the participant, the smell
was overwhelmingly awful and she had to stand to avoid transferring
it to any fabrics. She did feel some tingling on the skin where it
was applied and noticed a resulting smoothness, but no change to the
cellulite.
Result: Did not reduce cellulite and had a potent stench.

The
participant was instructed to massage the affected area in a hot bath
twice a week. After the 30-day trial, the treatment helped the
cellulite area feel smoother and less bumpy. She noticed that the
upper thigh was slightly less uneven to the touch and felt as smooth
as the rest of her leg.
Result: Minimally reduces the appearance cellulite.
Result: Minimally reduces the appearance cellulite.
The
participant was instructed to combine lemon juice and cayenne pepper
in water and drink the mixture 3 times daily. After the 30-day trial,
she reported a significant firming of the affected area. Although
she's not sure if her results are due to the placebo effect, she felt
that the cayenne pepper cocktail made her feel better
overall.
Result: Effectively reduce cellulite.
Result: Effectively reduce cellulite.
The
participant was instructed to soak the affected area in baby oil and
use a hand vacuum to smooth the area. Although at times she reported
seeing a slight difference directly after the procedure, she
sometimes felt that it actually made the cellulite
worse.
Result: Did not reduce cellulite and may even make it worse.
Result: Did not reduce cellulite and may even make it worse.
The
participant was instructed to make a scrub using corn oil, grapefruit
juice, and dried thyme. After massaging this into the affected areas
for 30 days, she felt that it was a very messy procedure with little
to no results other than softer skin.
Result: Did not effectively reduce cellulite but resulted in softer skin.
Result: Did not effectively reduce cellulite but resulted in softer skin.
The
participant was instructed to combine about juniper oil with olive
oil and massage into the affected area daily. The first week, she
didn't notice a very big change. Her skin looked about the same, but
was definitely much smoother! By the fourth week, she really began to
see the most visible change. The smaller cellulite dimples had faded,
and she could also see it beginning to have an affect on the overalllook of her thighs. Result: Effectively reduced
cellulite and resulted in softer, firmer skin.
The
participant was instructed to rub coconut oil on the affected area
and then use a dry brush to massage and smooth the cellulite. She
reported that the treatment left the skin feeling sensitive and
chaffed. Despite the sensitivity, she noticed a significant reduction
in cellulite after the 30-day trial.
Result: This is the most effective way to get rid of cellulite.
