Secret Ingredient? Coffee!
That's right! Coffee is one of the best products you can use on your skin, with so many different types of benefits.
Soft skin: Obviously the main effect of using this coffee scrub is to rid old, dead skin cells. By doing so, new healthy ones are brought to the surface.
Cellulite: That's right! The easiest way to remove cellulite is to do it in the shower. Coffee body scrubs reduce the puckering of cellulite, tighten skin cells, and blood vessels, resulting in a tighter, slimmer look. Coffee is also famous for it's high caffeine content. Caffeine in coffee increases skin’s blood flow and breaks down the deposits of fats on your cellulites. Coffee grounds could be placed on the skin, which then the skin can easily absorb the caffeine.
Reverse Sun Damage: Thanks to the high amount of caffeine (again), studies have shown that caffeine contains a protein in skin, to target and kill cancer cells.
Wrinkles/Age Spots: The main chemical in coffee is caffeine, a natural antioxidant. Antioxidants have many benefits, including heart disease- and cancer-fighting properties. Antioxidants also neutralize the effects of free radicals, which can damage the inner layer of skin. This damage is often reflected in age spots and wrinkles. When a coffee body scrub is applied, the skin absorbs this antioxidant and can help prevent premature aging.
*******Although coffee scrub has also been known to help improve skin conditions & redness (such as rosceasa), I recommend using this scrub on your body daily, face 1 - 2x week.*********
The aroma, caffeine, and massage of coffee body scrubs also:
• Stimulate your metabolism
• Increase dopamine levels, making you feel good
• Reduce stress
• Increase short-term memory
• Increase blood flow
• Impart vitality
