Cellulite Scrub

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 exfoliate and caffeine,
which effectively treats
and fights cellulite.
DIY
Cellulite Scrub Recipe

Ingredients:
  • ½ 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.
