Most women, no matter their weight, have cellulite and most men do not. Another one of life’s cruel twists. Genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors all play a role in how prominent this skin condition may become, but you are not powerless here! There are several things you can do to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your thighs and buttocks, one of the most effective being increasing the amount of muscle you have in the areas where cellulite tends to collect. Check out the video below for some of my favorite exercises that target the butt and thighs.

And as promised, the cellulite scrub! The caffeine in the coffee grounds temporarily plumps up your skin, making it appear smoother. A word of caution: make sure you have a good drain catch in your tub or shower; this can get a bit messy and will stain your tub if you don’t clean up the grounds right after you’re done.

You’ll need used coffee grounds and either grape seed or olive oil. Place the coffee grounds in a resealable container and cover with oil. Mix it up, and then apply to your butt and thighs in the shower. Rinse it off, and that’s it! The scrub will keep at room temperature for a few days.
