Cellulite
Cellulite is determined by a hypertrophy of the fat cells which, increasing in volume, tear the membrane in which they are wrapped thus allowing the leakage of lipids into the interstitial spaces.
This compression slows down venous and lymphatic circulation causing water retention and thus generating inflammation and stiffening of the fibrous septae (the ligaments that connect the adipose tissue to the skin).
The result of all this? Your skin looks like an orange peel

The properties of caffeine against cellulite
Caffeine has a stimulating effect on the nervous system and cardiac activity by dilating the coronary arteries . Also noteworthy are its lipolytic properties and its ability to stimulate the drainage and removal of stagnant liquids , facilitating the demobilization of deposits that form localized adipose tissue and preventing their formation.
The anti-cellulite properties of the caffeine molecules take 5 minutes to penetrate deeply and activate an enzyme that acts on the fats enclosed in adiposities. Furthermore, green coffee has a high concentration of chlorogenic acid, a powerful antioxidant that works by blocking the action of free radicals .
Perform an anti-cellulite massage
Before starting, rub your hands together to warm them up, then:
- Pour the cream into the palm of your hand
- Apply the cream starting from the ankle and continuing upwards to the groin
- Massage the foot starting from the root of the toes and continuing up to the heel making circular movements with the big toe
- Stroke the leg several times, like putting on a sock, pressing more and more with each step. Above the knees, massage outward using thumbs only and work up the thighs
