Coffee invigorates not only the spirit, but also the body. This is known to everyone and everyone. But not everyone knows that coffee is not only an invigorating drink, but also an excellent anti-cellulite remedy. This tool is used by many Hollywood stars, such as Holy Berry.
The use of coffee as cosmetics goes far. Indian women were the first to discover the properties of coffee. No wonder they still fascinate with their grace and beautiful skin. The ancient recipes of Indian beauties have not been preserved anywhere. But modern women have figured out how to use this invigorating drink.
To use coffee as an anti-cellulite agent, it is necessary to use a ground version and preferably in a boiled form. It can be used both as a mask and as a scrub. But let’s look at each one separately.
Why is coffee so good at fighting cellulite?
Coffee is active not only from the inside, but also from the outside. During procedures, coffee helps the skin to warm up and allows blood to flow to the treatment site. The blood begins to circulate better, thereby warming up and burning extra centimeters on the body. Also, coffee perfectly removes excess water from the body, but naturally, if it is applied not inside, but outside. Even in many well-known anti-cellulite products, coffee extract is added.
Coffee contains a huge amount of caffeine. Which, in turn, help to remove toxins, remove subcutaneous fat and speed up metabolism.
Even it became known that when drinking unsweetened coffee, it increases the metabolism of the body, which in turn leads to weight loss. Sweet coffee has the opposite effect.
Coffee masks for cellulite
There are a huge number of masks for cellulite. Some are 100% effective, others show only half the effect. Those masks that will be described here give a stunning result.
Mask of coffee grounds, honey and olive oil.
To make this mask, you need a large amount of coffee grounds. It can be collected for weeks, in a sealed container. Just don’t throw away the grounds after drinking. In the remaining thick, add 1 teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of olive oil.
Before applying the mask, the skin must be properly prepared. A hot shower or a hot bath will help prepare it. Then a layer of a coffee mask is applied to the steamed skin, it is necessary to massage a little and wrap it in a film. Then you need to either lie under the covers or put on a warm terry bathrobe. Wait half an hour and rinse with warm water. This procedure can be performed once a week.
Mask of coffee grounds, honey, eggs and sour cream.
For this mask, one serving of coffee grounds is enough. In the thick, add one raw egg, a teaspoon of honey and sour cream. All ingredients are mixed and applied to the skin in an even layer. Keep this mask for about 15 minutes. Then wash off with warm water.
Mask of coffee grounds and walnuts.
This mask is considered very fast. But not because of the speed of application, but because it gets rid of cellulite the fastest. Mix two teaspoons of walnuts with one serving of coffee grounds. Then apply with patting movements to the skin and leave for 15 minutes. Then wash off with warm water.
Scrubs from coffee grounds
In the fight against cellulite, coffee can be used not only as a mask, but also as a scrub. With the help of a scrub, you can achieve excellent results. But the use of scrubs has its own nuances. For example, before applying a coffee scrub, the body must be steamed. Of course, a bath is ideal for this, but if this is not possible, then a regular hot bath will do.
After the skin is prepared, you can begin the procedure. We apply the scrub on the skin and make sweeping movements. Duration approximately 5 minutes. But do not wash off the scrub immediately. You need to let it soak into the skin a little. There are many beneficial substances in coffee that improve skin condition. And then rinses off with warm water.
After the procedure, it is useful to do an anti-cellulite massage. If it is not possible to resort to the services of professionals, then it is quite mono to do the massage yourself.
Coffee scrubs, like masks, have different compositions and, accordingly, affect the skin in different ways.
Coffee scrub.
The easiest coffee scrub recipe is known to many. We mix ordinary ground coffee in equal proportions with ordinary shower gel and apply to the skin. After the procedure, rinse with water.
Scrub – mask with blue clay.
There is a recipe for not just a scrub, but a scrub mask. It is also quite simple, both to use and to manufacture. We take blue clay, dilute it with mineral water to the state of slurry. Then add ground coffee or coffee grounds. Apply a scrub to the steamed skin and massage. Then leave the mixture for ten minutes, and rinse with cold water.
Scrub with kefir.
This scrub, like the previous ones, is also quite simple. You need to take four tablespoons of kefir and ground coffee. Mix everything and apply to problem areas. Massage and rinse with warm water.
Hot scrub.
For such a scrub, you need to take unroasted coffee beans. Grind them in a coffee grinder to a state of dust. Then mix with 25 ml of hot pepper tincture. Mix. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil.
We put the resulting scrub in a jar with a tight lid, and put it in a dark corner for a week. After that, you can safely use it. Simply apply after a bath on the skin and massage for 10 minutes. And then rinse with warm water.
What is the result?
Coffee helps fight cellulite and is an almost perfect and affordable cosmetic product. It has no contraindications. Suitable for absolutely all people without exception.
But do not consider coffee the ultimate fighter for the perfect figure. The figure is not only the absence of cellulite, but also beautiful muscles. Therefore, in addition to cosmetic procedures, you need to do gymnastics and observe nutrition. Without these three whales, it is impossible to get an ideal figure.
But cellulite is a tricky thing. Therefore, you will have to constantly maintain yourself in order. This applies to both diet and fitness with bath procedures.
