By now, you have probably heard of tons of different “great” remedies for cellulite, but you’ve probably also found out that very few work as promised. Perhaps you have even given up on ever getting rid of cellulite; this article is just for you. To the ladies out there who cannot wear the miniskirts and bikinis because of cellulite, listen up! Coconut oil is the way to go.
What causes cellulite?
-Poor eating habits, eg eating too much of sugary foods and canned foods with preservatives, smoking, excessive drinking (alcohol), genetic predisposition, build up of toxins stored in the fat cells, lack of exercise, etc.
Coconut oil can help solve the problem if you use it in the following ways:
1. Eat it daily
In case you didn’t know, coconut oil helps the body metabolize and burn fat. And since cellulite is fat, you should eat coconut oil every single day just before working out. If you don’t workout, you might want to start now. Three tablespoons of pure coconut oil is a great start. It also improves the appearance of the skin, making it appear more youthful.
2. Body cream
A lot of the body creams out there have toxic substances with names that you cannot even pronounce, so you might want to switch out your body cream to something more wholesome and natural like coconut oil. Heat up the oil before application for fast results.
3. Body scrub
To make this scrub, you’ll need a quarter cup of granulated sugar and a half cup of coconut oil. Other optional ingredients include half a teaspoon of citrus essential oil and a full tablespoon of citrus fruit zest. Simply mix these ingredients and use. If you’ll be using this mixture for your face, however, you should omit the citrus components.
Conclusion
These are the right methods to ridding yourself of unsightly cellulite using coconut oil. Eliminate bad fats from your diet and eat smart for long-lasting results. Note that this is a lifestyle change, and not a two week quick fix that you can dump the moment you start seeing results.
