    Cellulite is just a word that describes how regular old fat looks under the skin. Females store fat in a honeycomb pattern, so the skin sometimes sinks onto spaces between the fat cells, creating little 'dents'. The only way to reduce this appearance is to lose body fat. A pretty easy solution, really. :smile:

    I like the firming lotions, they work while you use them only though. They aren't meant to reduce cellulite just the appearance of it. The active ingredient is caffeine. Also, using a lotion bronzer can lessen the appearance as well!

    Hemorrhoid cream will also reduce the look by attracting water in the body to the area...fills in the spots, I suppose. Bodybuilders will sometimes use it to tighten up before a show.

    So could you just use coffee mixed with regular lotion? :tongue:

    I actually have heard of people taken their used coffee grounds, rubbing them on their thighs and then wrapping in saran wrap for 30 minutes. I bet it works b/c all the cellulite creams you look at has caffiene in the ingredients!
    You can help it look better by using self tanner, makes the cellulite less noticeable.
