I've heard great things about this sort of thing, and have made my own concoction a few times before (although at the time my cellulite was caused by a hormone imbalance, so it was being packed on faster than I could get rid of it). It's GREAT for exfoliation, and my skin always feels so good aftrewards!
My friend made me a batch one Christmas (it does make a great gift if funds are tight!) with coconut oil, olive oil, coffee grounds, brown sugar and some other stuff. Best body scrub I've ever owned. Unfortunately, my body has a weird reaction to coconut oil (which I've never even heard of happening before) and I'll break out in a rash, my skin becomes sensitive and I'll develop acne, so I didn't use it as much as I liked. I wish I knew her recipe, though; it was so good, I used it all regardless of my skin's bad reaction to it!
