If you want to find a good anti-cellulite cream in the market you may should spend much money. Of course there is a better alternative. Why don’t you make your own homemade anti-cellulite cream, which is made of completely natural ingredients containing no preservatives, stabilizers or other chemical components? Below we present the top 3 homemade anti-cellulite creams that you can make at home using ingredients that you already have in your kitchen.

Top 3 homemade anti-cellulite creams

An anti-cellulite body scrub with coffee

One thing that can help in order to reduce the appearance of cellulite is a good exfoliation. However, buying a good exfoliating cream can cost a lot. You can make your own homemade cream using coffee as the basic ingredient. Coffee contains caffeine, which is the basic ingredient in almost every anti-cellulite cream you can find in the market.

All you have to do in order to make a good body scrub with coffee is to mix half a cup dregs of coffee and 1/4 cup almond oil. Then apply the mixture on your skin and rub gently with circular movements.

After that, leave the cream on your skin for ten minutes so that caffeine acts and then wash your skin with lukewarm water. Be careful while washing your skin as the coffee may block the sink.

You can use fresh coffee instead of dregs.

An anti-cellulite lotion with essential oils

Another thing you can do on your own at home is an anti-cellulite cream with essential oils. All you need is a cup of simple odorless trade body lotion, a little “rosewater” Hamamelis (witch hazel) and 3-5 drops of your favorite essential oils. These may be from rosemary, juniper, grapefruit, etc.

All you have to do is to stir the mixture until the ingredients get mix well. Then simply apply the lotion gently on your skin.  It is recommended to use the lotion just after a shower. This will have even better results.

An anti-cellulite fruity sour cream

In fact, although most women think that acids are “bad” for their skin, it is proved that there are some acids that significantly reduce cellulite. For example, citric acid and tartaric acid are both useful in the battle against cellulite. Both can be found in some fruits.

You can make the anti-cellulite homemade cream with fruit very easily at home. All you need to do is to mix a tablespoon of almond oil, half cup of mashed strawberries and three tablespoons of sugar. Sugar helps in skin exfoliation. Mix well and apply the cream on your skin by doing a light massage. Let the cream for 10 minutes and then splash on cold water.

Some advice

Have on your mind that using an anti-cellulite cream does not mean that your wrinkles disappear. You should make a concerted effort if you want to get rid of it. This means that you should not only rely on an anti-cellulite cream and expect to solve the problem. At the same time you should do a balanced diet and some exercise for firming buttocks and legs.
