I bet you're thinking, Coffee grounds? Is she serious? Yes, I am very serious. Coffee grounds can be used to fight many of your beauty woes. It is an exfoliator, cellulite fighter, hair color enhancer and many more.
Let’s explore it’s uses in detail:
Exfoliator - Mix used coffee grounds in with your favorite facial or body cleanser. This will make an instant scrub that will tighten and tone skin.
Here is a great body scrub recipe:
2 cups of coffee grounds
½ cup of raw sugar or sea salt
2-3 tsp of olive oil ( or any natural oil)
First, combine ingredients, then take a hot shower to prepare your skin and open pores. Using wide circular motions rub exfoliant onto skin. Rinse. Follow up with your favorite body lotion
Cellulite Fighter - Next time you go into your local drug store, look at the major ingredients of those expensive cellulite creams. You will notice that the majority of them will contain (yep, you guessed it) CAFFEINE! You can add a tbsp of used coffee grounds to your favorite body lotion. Give it a good shake and Presto! Instant cellulite cream, body moisturizer and skin firmer in just one bottle. Don’t worry about the coffee grounds that stick on to your body, they will fall off easily as your body absorbs the lotion.
Hair Color Enhancer - Add 2 tbsp of coffee grounds to your shampoo to enhance the hair color of brunettes and redheads. Also you can brew a really strong cup of coffee (espresso would be fabulous), let cool. Then saturate dry hair with coffee. Cover hair with a plastic shower cap or bag and let sit for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water.
As you can see you can replace many of those expensive beauty products with something that is inexpensive, already found in your home, easy to use and more importantly, NATURAL.
