DIY Cellulite Scrub

I know the dreaded word cellulite, none of us ladies want it.

We call it orange peel syndrome or cottage cheese skin.

The secret ingredient in this scrub is the caffeine in the coffee.

Caffeine is effective for promoting circulation and treating cellulite,

that is why many high end spas use it in skincare treatments.

This scrub consists of a wonderful concoction from the coffee,

a powerful caffeinated exfoliate,

which effectively treats and fights cellulite.

DIY Cellulite Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:

• ½ Cup of Fresh Ground Coffee
• ¼ Cup of Sea Salt
• ¼ Cup of Brown Sugar
• ¼ Cup of Sweet Almond Oil or Olive Oil

Directions:
Mix together the coffee, sugar, and salt.  Then pour in the sweet almond oil, and stir until mixed well. Spoon the scrub into a clean jar with a tight fitting lid and store in a cool dark place.
How To Use:
While in the shower, massage the scrub into your skin in a circular motion, focusing on the front and back of your upper thighs or bum.  Rinse off well with warm water.
Tips:

• Cellulite is a very common, and is something that affects all ages, shapes, and sizes.
• You can see improvement in cellulite by avoiding fatty foods and junk foods.
• Cellulite forms when fat cells beneath the skin enlarge, restricting the blood flow and circulation, thus causing fluid buildup that enlarges the fat cells. Causing a bumpy lumpy appearance under the skin. I know, no one wants it, yuck cellulite.
• Using this caffeine scrub to exfoliate twice a week will visibly smooth out your cellulite.
• Caffeine reduces redness of the skin. It also firms and tightens surface of your skin through constriction, that is why it reduces the appearance of cellulite.
• Another effective way to treat or prevent cellulite is to dry brush your skin.  Use a soft bristled brush and gently press on your skin in circular motion.
• Take a hard look at the ingredients in the soaps, body washes and moisturisers you use daily. Do you know what each ingredient is?  Avoid toxins that can be found in most commercial skincare products.  Toxins encourage water retention and the result is cellulite, uneven bumpy skin that can be found on our bottoms, hips and thighs.
• Daily exercise also prevents cellulite from ever forming, get up and start moving.
• Drink a lot of water, daily.  It does wonders for clearing your skin, naturally flushing toxins from your body, hydrating and giving you a natural glow.

The great thing about using this DIY cellulite scrub is that it is made at home

with common household ingredients, and practically free.

The downside to using coffee grounds cellulite cream is that it can be messy.

I truly believe that it is so worth the effort and mess.
