Brightening coffee scrub:
Prepare a basic recipe and add the juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of honey. Lemon juice helps lighten dark spots, while honey adds moisture and antibacterial properties.
Anti-cellulite coffee scrub:
To fight cellulite, add 1/4 cup of brewed green tea and a tablespoon of sea salt to your basic coffee scrub. Green tea reduces inflammation and sea salt promotes blood circulation.
Get the most out of your coffee scrub with these tips:
- Apply the scrub in the shower under warm water and steam. This will help open the pores for better results.
- Use gentle circular motions to avoid irritating the skin.
- Rinse off the scrub thoroughly so that its residue does not cause skin problems.
- Moisturize your skin after rinsing.
Enrich your coffee scrub with these additional ingredients:
- Cinnamon. Adding a teaspoon of cinnamon increases blood circulation and adds a pleasant aroma.
- Coconut milk. Replace coconut oil with coconut milk in the basic recipe for extra moisturizing. It nourishes and moisturizes the skin with vitamins and fatty acids.
- Vanilla extract. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to pamper your skin with a soothing scent.
