I am not going to make any wild claims that this body scrub will get rid of cellulite. There is no cream or treatment that will do this without diet and exercise. But since caffeine has been shown to minimise the appearance of cellulite (thanks to its temporary tightening effect) and scrubs can stimulate circulation and production of collagen, well I like to pretend that I am scrubbing away lumps and bumps every time I use it.
What I can say is that this scrub will leave your skin feeling smooth and soft. And gosh it smells so good. Plus, you can make it yourself with ingredients you are likely to have in your pantry already. You can use fresh coffee grounds, but I use spent grounds collected from my coffee machine. You can even ask your barista for their used grounds. They might look at you strangely, but they probably won’t forget your regular coffee order again. WHAT YOU NEED 4 tablespoons spent or fresh ground coffee 2 tablespoons Himalayan or dead sea salts 3 tablespoons coconut oil 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract or vanilla bean powder WHAT TO DO Mix all in a bowl and scoop into a jar HOW TO USE IT Use about a tablespoon as a scrub in the shower. If you are worried about coffee grounds going down the drain, then tape a chux cloth over the drain to collect the grounds.
