GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS
Get coffee grounds, coconut oil, brown sugar, and any other essential oils such as grapefruit or lavender for added health benefits and a lovely scent.
MIX THE INGREDIENTS
Mix 1 cup of coffee grounds, 1/2 cup of coconut oil, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and a few drops of essential oil in a bowl until it is well blended.
ADJUST CONSISTENCY IF NEEDED
If the scrub is too dry, add more coconut oil. If it's too wet, continue adding coffee grounds and brown sugar until you get a thick paste.
APPLY TO DAMP SKIN
Apply a sufficient amount of the coffee scrub onto damp skin and massage it in circular motions, paying particular attention to areas of cellulite like thighs and buttocks.
MASSAGE GENTLY
Massage the scrub into your skin with gentle pressure to stimulate blood circulation and drain lymph nodes, thus diminishing the appearance of cellulite.
LET IT SIT
Let the scrub stay on your face for 5-10 minutes to let the caffeine get absorbed and tighten the skin while the oils nourish and moisturise.
RINSE OFF THOROUGHLY
Rinse off the scrub with warm water and ensure that residue is completely removed. Pat dry your skin with a towel to be left with soft and smooth skin.
MOISTURISE AFTERWARD
Seal in the moisture with a hydrating moisturiser or body oil to make sure your skin looks and feels good.
USE REGULARLY FOR BEST RESULTS
Add this homemade coffee scrub to your skincare routine 2 - 3 times a week to see the best results in fighting cellulite and improving skin texture.
CONCLUSION
Creating your coffee scrub at home is a cost-effective and natural way to combat cellulite. Perform a patch test before using new skincare products. Consult a dermatologist if irritation occurs.
