This scrub is useful to decrease cellulite, varicose veins and to invigorate the skin.
2 cups (caffeinated) fresh coffee grounds (organic would be preferable- the skin can absorb toxins)
1/2 cup raw sugar or sea salt or Morton's Canning salt
2-3 T of a good quality light oil such as almond, olive oil.
1 t. cinnamon
Mix all together and store in an airtight container.
Use as a scrub in the shower and rinse clean with warm water.

I read on one website that you should rally use this for 3 weeks every day to see results.
ReplyDeleteHow it works:
When coffee is applied to the surface of your skin, it helps redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of cellulite.
The caffeine in a coffee scrub acts as a vascular restrictor--shrinking blood vessels, thus helping to reduce varicose veins.
The darker the roast the less caffeine
