Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!
The caffeine and antioxidants in coffee help minimize the appearance of scars, stretch marks and even cellulite on your body! Just as drinking coffee help us stay awake and keep our minds alert, when the caffeine is applied onto our skin it helps stimulate the circulation which helps smooth out our skin by toning and tightening the tissue.
The best part of all of this is that you all probably have coffee in your home! This is a super easy, super quick beauty do-it-yourself!
What you'll need:
1 cup of grounded coffee
4 tbs of honey / olive oil / coconut oil
*Optional: You can add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of grounded coffee for a finer scrub.
You can use fresh grounded coffee or you can just use the left over coffee grinds from your morning coffee! Put your grinds in a medium bowl, add in your honey/olive or coconut oil and mix it up. Take the coffee paste with you in the shower and gently massage it into your skin, focusing on the parts that need more attention: arms, legs and underarms (smooths out ingrowns), stomach area, thighs, back....even your face (however, I would recommend not to scrub but to just apply it like a mask).
Wash it off with warm water, pat dry, moisturize and you're good to go my friends! Obviously like most beauty regimes, frequent treatments show the best results. Oh, beauty really is a pain! ;)
I hope you like this beauty DIY, this is certainly one of my favorites!
Love,
