Coffee for what?!

So, as we're slowly but surely approaching summer, I thought it'll be perfect to help the ladies out there reading this blog. As women, we are either prepping ourselves for the visits to the beach, or dreading the upcoming visits to the beach. One of the problem areas that most women face is...-drumroll- cellulite! So, here's an all-natural scrub that helps combat cellulite. I know the ingredients sound a little out there, but trust me! I'll include some of the benefits below.



2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee Grounds
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil (Melt coconut oil before mixing)
1Tablespoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Mason Jar (Optional)

Add all ingredients into medium size mixing bowl, mix together and you're all done! You can use this scrub up to two times a week!

How it works

The caffeine and antioxidants in coffee are moderately effective to mitigate the appearance of cellulite in the short term. As a stimulant, the caffeine in coffee dilates blood vessels, which temporarily tones and tightens tissue. Plus it increases circulation and reduces water retention, both of which may also help smooth the rumpled look of cellulite. The antioxidants in coffee may help to release toxins, which is not only helpful for cellulite, but for healthy skin in general.
