Dimples are cute, but not on your legs and arms. Cellulite is something most of us struggle with at some point. There is no real cure for the cottage cheese but topical caffeine has been shown to reduce the appearance.
You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on caffeine creams. Make your own version right at home. Try this solution twice a week in the shower for best results.
Coffee Sugar Scrub
Coffee
Sugar (white or brown)
Almond Oil
Virgin Olive Oil
1. Mix 12 drops of almond oil with the olive oil.
2. Mix 1 part sugar with 3 parts used caffeinated coffee grounds.
3. Blend the oil mixture with the sugar/coffee mixture until it is paste-like.
4. Briskly rub into trouble areas. Remove with a warm, damp towel or shower off. Put a coffee filter over your drain if you are concerned with the grounds going down your drain.
