5 natural body scrub recipes
Salt scrub
For this natural scrub, simply crush one tablespoon of coarse sea salt, then add 2 tablespoons of honey to soften the mixture. Apply the blend to areas affected by cellulite and leave on for 3 to 5 minutes. Then massage using circular movements and rinse off with cool water for a fresh finish.

Coffee scrub
For this scrub, mix 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of honey. Apply the mixture to cellulite-prone areas and leave on for 5 minutes. Then massage vigorously (using a manual pinch-and-roll technique if you like), then simply rinse with cool water.
Coffee grounds scrub for the bottom
This homemade bottom scrub uses the coffee recipe on areas that often get forgotten: the bottom and the backs of the thighs. Mix 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of honey, then apply to your bottom, focusing on cellulite-prone areas.
Massage with circular movements for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water. This simple step fits easily into your bathroom routine and gets your skin ready to be massaged with your CelluBlue cup.
Brown sugar scrub
For this wonderfully pleasant scrub to apply, you’ll need 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Apply to the desired areas, leave on for 6 minutes, then massage and rinse with cool water!

How to fit these scrubs into your routine
These recipes are most useful when they form part of a simple routine you can repeat. Choose one scrub, try it on a specific area, then see what you can realistically fit into your week.
In practice, it is better to stick with one method for several days than to switch between different options. This makes it easier to notice how your skin responds.
- Choose one scrub at a time.
- Keep to a routine you can realistically maintain.
- Notice how your skin feels after each scrub.
- If a texture feels too rough, try a gentler recipe such as the oat scrub.
Frequently asked questions
How do you make a homemade bottom scrub?
Use the coffee grounds recipe: 1 tablespoon of grounds, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of honey. Apply to your bottom, massage with circular movements for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water. Add it to your routine regularly.
Which scrub should you choose for cellulite-prone skin?
The article includes five options: salt, coffee, brown sugar, oats or strawberries. The most important thing is to choose one made with ingredients you already have and with a texture you like, so you can repeat it regularly.
Can you use an anti-cellulite scrub every day?
Best not to do it every day: a scrub is better added to your bathroom routine now and then. Spacing out sessions gives your skin time to rest between exfoliations and helps you keep to a pace you can maintain over time.
Is a scrub enough for cellulite?
A scrub prepares the skin and makes the moment enjoyable, but it belongs in a wider routine: massage with your CelluBlue cup, moisturising and regular care. What counts is keeping the whole routine up, not a single session.
