I was reading about this the other day and was wondering if anyone has tried it and what were your results? Supposedly if you take coffee grounds and olive oil, mix it to a cream, warm it up, rub it on your affected areas, wrap with plastic wrap, rinse with warm water 5 mins later and repeat daily for a week, your cellulite will be gone... It's sounds funny but the research behind seem solid. I will be trying it this week and will post before and after pics. Anyone tried this before? Results?...

    If by 'gone' you mean 'temporarily less visible,' I might buy into the treatment. It's something I've heard before but never done myself. Best wishes, hope it turns out well!

    I read a similar one a few months ago where you mix used coffee grounds and baby oil and rub it on in cellulite with pantyhose. Sounds foolish but there was alot of ppl commenting that it worked! So itried it for a couple weeks, and saw no improvement in the cellulite but my skin was super smooth! Let me know if your way works, my legs will appreciate it lol

    OMG I've actually done this! Lol I didn't use olive oil, just the coffee grounds, but I think the oil would make it easier to apply. I think I left if on for closer to 10-15 minutes too. Anyways, it's not permanent by any means, but it's definitely a great quick temporary fix! And way cheaper than all those creams and lotions ;)

    sounds like snake oil to me - there is no "easy" fix for the lumps and bumps we girls get

    I googled it but they say its the caffeine in the coffee that actually does the trick and that is the main ingredient in all of those expensive creams

    NOPE. Cellulite is underneath the skin and NO TOPICAL treatment will rid you of it. You can camoflauge it temporarily, but it will still be there.
