Here are a few traditional home remedies that often come up when people talk about orange peel skin. They are budget-friendly and easy to make at home: apple cider vinegar, a coffee and sugar scrub, gelatine and a few other tips!
Apple cider vinegar, a traditional home remedy
Apple cider vinegar is one of the home remedies often mentioned when it comes to orange peel skin! You can have it as a drink or apply it directly to the skin as part of a massage.
For the drink:
Simply pour two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into 200 ml of water. You can add a little honey or stevia. Drink this mixture on an empty stomach every morning!
For the skin:
Choose a massage cream or oil that you’ll mix with apple cider vinegar (proportions: 1 part cream or oil to 3 parts apple cider vinegar). Massage the affected areas thoroughly. Do this twice a day! You can even use this mixture with your CelluBlue cupping cup.
A coffee and sugar scrub to tackle the look of orange peel skin
Some of you may already know caffeine as an ingredient often found in anti-cellulite products. You can create a homemade scrub to exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells.
To do this, simply mix half a cup of ground coffee with ¼ cup of brown sugar. Then apply the mixture to your orange peel skin using circular motions. Rinse off with cold water afterwards. Do this twice a week.

Eating gelatine (or agar-agar, its plant-based alternative) is another traditional tip that often comes up. Enjoy it as part of a varied diet. And to tackle the look of orange peel skin, a little exercise definitely has its place in your routine!

What about orange peel skin on the face?
People sometimes talk about ‘orange peel skin’ on the face when pores look more visible. The home remedies in this article are meant for the body: thighs, hips, tummy. The skin on the face is thinner and more sensitive, so it’s best not to apply the apple cider vinegar mixture or the coffee and sugar scrub there. For your face, choose products suited to your skin type and, if in doubt, ask a dermatologist for advice.
