Do cellulite scrubs work?

Of course they don’t.

Think about it:

A scrub sloughs off the most superficial part (stratum corneum, 0.02mm deep) of your most superficial skin layer (epidermis, 0.7mm deep).
Cellulite, on the other hand, is fat accumulation on the deepest skin layer, the hypodermis, at 20-80mm deep.

By exfoliating / scrubbing you are removing part of the stratum corneum (e.g. 0.01mm deep), while cellulite lays 200-800 times deeper than what you just scrubbed.

Therefore, cellulite scrubbing scrubs away exactly ZERO cellulite.

What if I scrub really hard to get rid of the cellulite?

Sure, you may say that if you scrub hard you will apply pressure on deeper skin layers. However, if you scrub hard you will bleed well before anything of consequence happens to cellulite. The most you can achieve by scrubbing hard is to get rid of your skin, not get rid of cellulite.

Furthermore, you don’t need to scrub hard to apply pressure on the cellulite layer. You can apply 10 times more pressure than with scrubbing just by using some oil and gliding your hand over the skin (we call this deep tissue massage) without bringing yourself to bleeding.

However, deep tissue massage is known to do NOTHING for cellulite. In fact, a more cellulite-specific massage is needed, applied for a good 30 minutes on the legs (not 5) and is still not that effective for cellulite unless done for twice a week for several weeks.

So, don’t listen to all those ignorant “beauty experts” and forget about scrubbing away the cellulite with dry brushing (😂), coffee bean scrubbing (😂😂), loofah brushing (🤔) and similar time wasting ideas.

Instead, focus on things that really work (we offer 100+ ideas here), the most effective of which is deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, ideally combined with high-power LED phototherapy.
