1. FAT BURNING COFFEE CREAM
Caffeine is not just a stimulant that gives us an energy boost during the day, it is also great when used topically to problem areas. It helps to burn fat that accumulates in body areas such as the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. You’re probably wondering how this works. When used topically it boosts blood circulation and directly attacks fat deposits effectively dissolving them. In addition, it reduces cellulite and firms the skin. This is particularly the case if you have puffiness around the eyes, something ingesting caffeine might help (or hinder) if you are overtired.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup ground coffee
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup of olive oil
PREPARATION
Mix the three ingredients in a bowl until you get a smooth paste. Apply the fat burning coffee cream to the area to be treated, massaging gently, in circular movements as you do so. Wait for at least 20 minutes for it to work is magic.
There are some thoughts that caffeine creams only work temporarily as they work to shrink the fat cells. This is why you should apply it as part of a larger weight loss programe. On its own it will not work well at fat burning, but combined with diet and exercise can give you a much needed lift at the times you need it.
2. FAT BURNING CREAM WITH VICKS AND CAMPHOR
The following fat burning cream works as a result of the cold/hot effect it has on the skin. This boosts blood circulation, firming the tissues of the dermis and breaks up stored fat. It contains Vicks Vaporub, the mentholated ointment traditionally used to improve colds and respiratory problems. This tightens the skin and prevents it from sagging whilst the camphorcauses sweating and elimination of toxins. It is also good for treating cellulite and can give an extra boost for weight loss or body building competitions.
Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons of Vicks Vaporub
- 3 tablespoons of ethyl alcohol
- 3 tablespoons baking soda
- Half a camphor tablet
Preparation: to start, crush the tablet and add the Vicks Vaporub, alcohol and soda. Mix all the ingredients carefully and store the cream in a lidded container so that it keeps for several days. Apply in the same way as above, wrapping the area with plastic film and leaving for at least 20 minutes. Good for tummy, arms and chest, but not good for puffiness around the eyes as the mentholated Vicks Vaporub will sting your eyes.
3. FAT BURNING CREAM WITH WHITE IODINE
White iodine or colorless iodine can firm skin considerably when included in a fat burning cream. This can help slim down those flabbier areas of the body. This is mainly due to its metabolism-boosting effects which burn excess fat in areas where applied. To make this fat burning cream, make sure you buy white iodine for external use, which can be found in pharmacies. This is because if you rub it on visible skin around the belly or around the face, then regular iodine will leave a rust colored stain. To make this type of fat burning cream, simply follow the steps below.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons of your regular firming cream
- 1 tablespoon white iodine
- 1 tablespoon of aloe vera
PREPARATION
Mix all ingredients until you get a smooth cream. Apply to the desired area (tummy, arms, face), massaging firmly in circular motions with your knuckles until it is completely absorbed.
4. FAT BURNING CREAM WITH ALOE VERA, EUCALYPTUS AND LEMON
This fat burning cream works on account of the cooling effect created by the eucalyptus. This smooths and tightens the skin. While this might not be for weight loss or fat burning, it could work for toning stretched skin. It can also work after successful period of weight loss.
INGREDIENTS
- 150 ml body cream
- 1 aloe vera leaf or aloe vera gel
- 1/2 cup eucalyptus
- Juice of 1 lemon
PREPARATION
In a bowl, mix the moisturizing cream with the aloe vera gel. Stir and then add eucalyptus and lemon juice. Stir again so that everything is well mixed. Now it’s ready to apply! Do so by massaging in circular motions on the stomach, arms or any other body part with fat build up until the cream is fully absorbed into the skin.
