I've heard rubbing coffee grounds on cellulite can cause the skin to firm up. You can mix in the grounds with olive oil

Caffeine is touted as a skin firmer, but there aren't any scientific studies to back up that claim. Coffee or black tea contain caffeine, but if I'm not mistaken the molecules are much too large to pass through the skin and have any effect.

And here is an article from The Beauty Brains that cites the FDA about topical cellulite treatments: http://thebeautybrains.com/2009/03/09/beauty-research-can-a-cellulite-cream-help-me-lose-weight/

And I was mistaken a few minutes ago when I thought you can't absorb caffeine through the skin, this article lays it straight: http://thebeautybrains.com/2011/08/16/can-I-put-caffeine-on-my-skin-instead-of-drinking-coffee-2/

Not sure if it works but drinking straight lemon juice. Just a little like 1/2 cup. The logic behind it lemon is an acid and it breaks the fat.
