Avon CelluSculpt has worked well for my dimply legs and butt. Twice a day, and make sure you massage it in for a while to get the full effect! |

I second that, it definitely helps along with my Beautiuful New Skin Seaweed soap. I think with Avon it is more water release but I don't care because it helps the inches (yep! I measured |

...is it the massage or the cream doing the biz though? Apparantly dry body brushing is good as it helps with circulation, I do it, but don't really have that much of the stuff to notice |

I noticed a difference when I started using the cream, but when I started massaging it in more I noticed more difference.
It smells good, feels nice on my skin so I'll keep using it. I see they have a new one in their planet spa line for half the price, I may try it next time. |

I'm sad to say that Avon didn't work for me.I think I've tried just about everything with no results. However, I did read a really good article at my doctor's office. It said that dry brushing before your shower everyday will help in stimulating circulation which in turn helps to flush out the toxins. That combined with a good excercise routine and plenty of water should help. I'm trying it right now and hope that it helps! |

what exactly is dry brushing? I'm imagine rubbing myself with a hairbrush would be painful |

..but some may like it lianne!
You need a soft natural bristle brush...body shop do a good one. Start at the bottom and work your way up with long strokes towards the heart, though I always do round bits on my arse in the hopes it'll grow (no joy yet ) , but always to the heart...this helps stimulate the lymph glands which will flush toxins and possibly diminish cellulite.
I have to say that I think that cellulite is pretty much hereditory, but massage may help and so may this. Caffine is supposed to be good...maybe you could make a coffee ground scrub with honey and cocoa butter? Even if it doesn't work, at least you will be lickable |

the things that've worked best for me are:
dry brushing (always moving towards my heart)
blisslabs slimulator (in the shower)
really good nourishing body cream the i take care to massage in really well (always in circles + sweeping motions towards my heart) |

dry brushing still sounds a bit painful. probably good for exfoliating. I'll find the correct brush and try it!! |

Can u tell us exactly how to make the coffee scrub? I'm really interested in those stuff.
lianne

Lianne, you are brushing, not scrubbing! You can be as rough or gentle as you wish. It takes 2 mins max before a shower and it guarantees you baby smooth skin (but it won't necessarily shift the cellulite )
Christine, I haven't actually made the scrub, it's just an idea. but I reckon a mix of fine (esspresso) and medium (cafatiere SP?) mixed with say cocoabutter (this could be like an a Lush buffy the backside slayer!) and then add juniper and black pepper essential oils would make a good exfoliating, massaging and moisturising block or add honey and some runny oil like grapeseed and make it gloopy so you do the massaging. I suspect it will be pretty messy though
Let us know if you decide to try it! |

Christine,
No, I haven't tried the healing garden. Tried the cheapo jergens and nivea, and then the avon. I like the idea of the biotherm one but most of their products give me reactions =(
Guapa, your scrub sounds kinda yummy..! Ok..I need to eat some lunch now. |

The Dr. Hauschka body oils -- I think lemon and rosemary -- claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite. They say you are supposed to vigorously rub them into the affected areas. Might be worth a try! |

guapagirl , it sounds interesting to me since i'm a coffee lover and it *maybe* able to help reduce the appearance of cellulite~ well, nth to lose so i'll probably try it next week and see how it goes ! If it works well, i'll let u know.
lianne, i've tried Biotherm products called "Cellu-choc" for 2 bottles, and i didnt see any result but i don't know if it works for the others or not though. However, i do like the texture and it also sinks in immediately, wont leave me with any greasy feeling... i also find that it makes ur skin feels kinda tight and smooth after u apply.. and i guess that's how they make u believe that the product is really working. |

The T-Tapp method of exercise has been amazingly helpful to me & my 53 yr. old thighs.
Plus Teresa Tapp has a dry-brush system that is well-known for it's unique ability to remove cellulite-it's called CRT-or cellulite removal treatment. The forums on their site have a devoted section to cellulite & skin treatment.
It'swww.t-tapp.com
Those of us who use this system are devoted groupies!
Good luck,
Maria |

I just mix honey and coffee grounds (I like coarse ground) to use as a body scrub. I scrub and then cleanse. It is nice and hydrating, but I find that I use a lot since the honey is so sticky and difficult to spread. Once it gets wet though, it is easier to move around.

You are welcome. I also use it occasionally as a face scrub, but I use ground jojoba meal as the exfoliator rather than coffee grounds, and sometimes I add a few drops of essential lavender oil to the mix.

You are welcome. I have so many body products that I find it difficult to use any one consistently , but two or three times a week would probably be okay. It really depends on what your skin can take and what ground you prefer. I like the coarse ground, so it is a stronger exfoliating, but fine ground would probably not be so strong. I hope that you like it

lianne -- your boyfriend is a beekeeper?? That is both so cool and SO WEIRD!
What kind of honey do they make?? |

his honey is a big mix of stuff. He lives in an agricultural reserve in the city. We literally are 1 mile from downtown Richmond. There's a lot of blueberry crops in the area, and a lot of wildflowers. The honey this year was very dark, like molasses, and crystalized very easy. Ok for tea and baking, but not the best for eating. This was the first year, hopefully next year is a bit better. |
