I know I've heard about coffee wraps for cellulite - here's a quick one I found online:
The natural compounds in coffee are said to marginally tighten the skin; seaweed is also considered to have a toning effect when applied to the skin.
¼ cup warm, used ground coffee (preferably organic) or organic instant coffee
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil (can infuse it with rosemary or birch oil)
Cling wrap
Method: Mix coffee and oil in a glass bowl. Line the floor or shower with newspaper (some of the coffee mixture is bound to fall off) then massage the mixture in a circular motion over cellulite-affected areas for one minute. Apply cling wrap around each affected area to hold the mixture in place. Leave on for 10 minutes, then have a shower to rinse off. Repeat this once a day for at least two weeks as results take two to four weeks to appear.
Not sure whether I would have the time for this every day - but maybe might be ok as a weekend thing?
