Cellulite is a common skin appearance and does not mean you are doing something wrong. A softer feeling after washing or exfoliating does not establish a change underneath the skin. Coffee grounds mixed with aloe are not an established cellulite treatment.
Do not scrub harder
Coarse particles, cinnamon and forceful massage can irritate. Redness does not prove the treatment worked. Avoid exfoliating damaged, inflamed or sunburned skin and freshly depilated areas. If you already use active skin care, extra exfoliation may be too much.
For ordinary care after washing, Aloe Vera Gelly is available as a finished cosmetic gel for intact skin. It is not a cellulite remover and does not need to be mixed into untested homemade preparations. Follow the local instructions and stop if it stings.
If the appearance bothers you
A dermatologist can explain what a particular procedure can achieve and how long results last. You do not need circulation or collagen supplements for skin care. A painful, suddenly red or swollen area needs assessment of its cause.
Before skin care, check for cracks, irritation or recent shaving. An abrasive home experiment is not appropriate in those circumstances. Keep the routine simple rather than introducing several scrubs, brushes and active acids together. A photograph of smoother wet skin immediately after application cannot establish a change in cellulite. Lighting and body position also affect appearance, independently of the chosen product.
