Coffee is the most popular beverage on this world. It can be enjoyed in different ways. Did you know that coffee has many benefits on our bodies? Such as:
- Reducing the risk of Parkinson’s disease, heart attack, liver cancer, or stroke
- Stimulates the feel-good hormone, dopamine
- Reduces suicide risk and depression
- Prevents the occurrence of gall stones.
Coffee has also a tremendous beneficial effect on the skin: It is very effective for fighting cellulite.
Now, the appearance of cellulite can have many reasons, and one is that it occurs due to problems/imbalance in the connective tissue and fat in a person’s body.
Hormones, diet, lifestyle and genetics would also be considered factors to trigger cellulite but when it is showing, one thing is sure: We don't like it and want to get rid of it!
Why you should Use a Coffee Scrub for Cellulite
HOW IT WORKSCoffee contains caffeine and antioxidants which is moderately effective to mitigate the appearance of cellulite in the short term.
Caffeine is a stimulant, and it will dilate blood vessels. This temporarily tones and tightens the tissue. Additionally it increases circulation and reduces water retention, both of which may also help smooth the rumpled look of cellulite.
While caffeine stimulates the blood vessels, the antioxidants may help to release toxins, which is not only helpful for cellulite, but for healthy skin in general.
Using a body scrub with scrubbing motion increases circulation, will plump up the skin and make cellulite look less obvious.
Directions to Use a Coffee Scrub on Cellulite Skin
Before taking a shower, use a dry brush to exfoliate and stimulate blood flow. In a circular motion brush lightly on any body problem areas, or all over your body to reap the full benefits of dry brushing.
In the shower apply your scrub to areas with cellulite. Wet the skin a little bit before massaging the scrub onto skin in a circular motion. Then rinse thoroughly.Repeat daily.
