Anti-Cellulite, All Natural Ground Coffee Body Scrub

Good coffee is more than a morning miracle for most of us, it also has amazing exfoliating and anti-cellulite properties! That's right ladies, after you are done brewing the lifeblood of your day, you can use those grounds for amazing things!! Here's what I did:

Place warm coffee grounds in a small bowl mix with a base oil. I use jojoba because it penetrates the deepest of all oils. But, any carrier will work just fine. Try anything from apricot, almond, to olive. Take the bowl of grounds and oil to the shower with you.

Start by grabbing some out of the bowl and massaging it in circular motions on your body concentrating on the areas you may want to exfoliate or experience problems with cellulite. I usually start with my thighs and legs. After you are done buffing your beautiful body, rinse WELL. I mean this. It's easy to loose some grounds in a crevice or two - make sure you are well rinsed! Run your hands over every surface to feel for left grounds.

After this is a great time to shave. you legs will have never felt smoother - I promise you.

Here's the before and after (I realize that I am being very brave by posting this - and I apologize for the lack of quality in the picture taking....it's not very easy to take pics of your own getaway sticks).
