    Thumbs up homemade cellulite cream

    all right, first of all, i totally and completely give full credit for this to thechaosfairy, as it was her idea and she posted it. but i made this homemade cellulite cream with cheap-ass hand-me-down lotion and cushed up no-doz mixed with boiling water, and it works! i started out using it every night, minus the times i forgot (i'm not too dilligent) but i've definately noticed a reduction in only a couple of weeks. i crushed up the whole 16 caplet bottle and added just enough boiling water to dissolve it, then whisked it with a fork to get it even, then mixed it with the lotion. i apply it to where the cellulite is, and it really seems to be working, even though i haven't done anything else- not taking tonalin, keep forgetting to bodybrush, and i'm still a total caffeine junkie and my diet is horrible. plus, i had bags under my eyes the morning of a photoshoot, and was out of preparation H, so i put some on the bags, and it made them go down, too! they were still dark, but not puffy at all. just wanted to pass it along! and thankyou, chaosfairy!

    hand-me-down lotion: $0
    small bottle of no-doz: $3.69
    knowing that miracles can happen: priceless.

    Interesting... I've never heard of this before, but I suppose that it would work because the ingredient in a lot of cellulite lotions is caffeine.....

    I have a few questions. OK does it matter what kind of lotion? HOw much lotion, water, ect? Can you store this to use some other time or do you have to use it all at once?? Sounds cool, thanks. I had a bad experience with mesotherapy so im looking for something to really get rid of cellulite. I hate it.

    Coffee grounds work too. Rub them against wet skin.

    A free way to reduce cellulite is to massage your thighs & glutes by pinching & rolling the skin with your hands. It breaks up the fat bands & lactic acid deposits.

    This beats the hell out of rubbing moistened coffee grounds on the problem areas. That stuff stains like the devil. I'm gonna try this one. Thanks!

    i just used a bottle of lotion that a friend gave me. i can't imagine that it'd matter, since the only active ingredient in cellulite treatments is caffeine. even if they claim to have herbal voodoo in it, it's probably herbs that contain caffeine. i used as little water as possible, a few tablespoons, just enough to dissolve the crushed pills in. and no, it doesn't spoil. i poured the no-doz water into the lotion bottle, shook it up really thoroughly, and keep it on my bathroom shelf. no problems yet. i'm not a scientist, so i can't gauruntee anything, but hey- you'll be out a lot less than you would be if you bought those designer creams if it does nothing for you.

    Yep coffee grounds are LOADED with caffeine so it stimulates the area you are rubbing to produce more blood flow!

    Also the motion of breaking those gross fat bands that make up cellulute work well together!

    I have done it. Now all i need to do is dry brush and stretch!

    How does the dry brush work? You do it after the coffee?

    I bought some Neutrogena cellulite cream for a lot more than you spent and it hasn't done shit. I've been using it at least 3 weeks I think.

    I've been using lotions with caffeine for a while now and my skin's in good shape. I also use a tanning lotion loaded with caffeine. I'm a caffeine addict when it comes to skin, I just had a friend offer to help me find a different tanning lotion online for really cheap and all I kept saying was "make sure it has caffeine, it has to have lot's of caffeine... make sure it says caffeine in the ingredients, I have to have lotion with caffeine!" LOL!

    Caffeine tightens and firms. So, you can use it anywhere, it's not going to hurt anything, that's for sure.
