Effective beauty treatments and remedies need not be very expensive or hard to come by. In fact, that secret beauty treatment you are looking for may already be within your reach. In the case of the increasingly popular coffee cellulite scrub, your answer is already in your kitchen.

Why This Works

The active ingredient in the coffee scrub for cellulite is the caffeine in the coffee grounds. When the scrub is applied, and comes in direct contact with affected skin, the caffeine metabolizes the fat and liquids in the skin — removing both through/from the skin. This removal of fat and liquids in turn reduces the appearance of cellulite on the area that the remedy is applied.
