Can an external product get rid of cellulite?

I have heard that taking a teaspoon of flaxseed oil or olive oil everyday can help combat cellulite so i am taking extra virgin olive oil. Heres the thing i had someone tell me that i should rub it on my skin as well as taking it internally. will my skin absorb the essential fatty acids or should i just stick with gagging back spoonfuls of strait olive oil every day.
