DIY Coffee Cellulite Scrub + Amber’s Organics
Make that morning Joe do double duty!
Worried about cellulite? Put your coffee to work! After making your morning pot or press, bring a handful of the wet grounds into the shower and scrub anywhere that lumps and bumps occur.
Some say the caffeine in the coffee grounds works to detoxify the area, encouraging the circulation necessary for the body to break up and flush out those fatty deposits.
All we know if after a few days of this scrub, our tester had a mighty smooth ass.
And she had a bit of a clean-up problem, as the grounds do tend to fly, especially when application gets vigorous. That’s why said tester was thrilled to discover the Organic Dark Chocolate & Coffee Anti-Cellulite Body Scrub from Amber’s Organics.
Loaded with anti-oxidants from cocoa, coffee and vitamin C, this scrub tones, exfoliates and encourages circulation—only without the mess. And at under seven dollars for eight ounces, it’s almost as inexpensive as the DIY version.
Can you make that a double?
What’s a natural beauty? That depends—although we’ve got an oh-so-unofficial definition on our What is Green Beauty? page. At EcoStiletto, our readers range from hard-core treehuggers to newbie ecoistas just learning about red flags on labels. But all of us recognize the fine feeling of accomplishment that you get from DIY beauty products. There’s something to be said for awesome labels and beautiful packaging, but grabbing something from your pantry and making miracles on your face—that’s priceless. We found grab-and-go recipes for getting gorgeous—plus our pics for exfoliants, deodorant, fruit acid treatments, cellulite reducers and hydrating cleansers that kick the DIY theme up a notch or two. Ready, set, go!
