So I read somewhere that coffee scrubs are used to help decrease the appearance of cellulite. This mama of 3 was intrigued to say the least! Well, I also know that baking soda is something fantastic to bring back the glow in your face (Lauren Conrad is said to firmly believe in it!). So, I created a facial and body scrub and let me tell you it is amazing! It makes your skin glow, makes shaving easier, helps lotion really sink into skin and well, I haven't noticed a decrease in cellulite but it does make me feel a little less puffy. You are supposed to use the coffee scrub every day for something like 6 weeks to get a decrease in the appearance of cellulite and I usually take a shower once every 3 days so that is not gonna happen! Well, here ya go ....
1/4 cup coffee grounds (I use the stuff that I have already made my coffee from)
1/4 cup baking soda
juice from 1/2 lemon (more or less to create a paste .... again helps bring out a glow)
You can also use brown sugar if you want, but I don't want to scrub my skin too hard. I mix all the ingredients together and store it in a plastic container and keep it in the shower. I like it to sit on my skin for a few minutes and scrub, scrub, scrub. Rinse it off when you are done and I like to soap up after because I don't want to smell like a coffee shop all day. I do put this on my face (avoiding eyes of course) but that is a personal choice. Enjoy!
