Feel good: Cindy's coffee cellulite cure

Cindy Crawford claims rubbing coffee in prevents

orange-peel thighs - and it's not as dotty as it

sounds, because many anti-cellulite products

actually contain caffeine. Cellulite expert

Dr Elisabeth Dancy explains: "When applied to the skin caffeine is rapidly absorbed. It reaches the tissue below which has the effect of stimulating

receptors on the surface of fat cells and encourages them to release fat into the bloodstream."

Personally, I'd rather stick to special cellulite creams

but you never know. Check out Dr Dancy's book The Cellulite Solution (Coronet Books, pounds 6.99)
