While it’s impossible to remove cellulite completely, there are things we can do to reduce its appearance. Local organic skin care guru Indie Lee shares one of her at-home recipes for an all-natural scrub containing her favorite ingredient: coffee. The caffeine works to dehydrate fat cells and when broken down, acts as a natural exfoliant.
What You Need:
½ ounce of sweet almond oil
2 tablespoons coffee grinds (espresso roast)
5 tablespoons coconut oil
¾ cup of arrowroot powder (natural alternative to talc powder)
- Combine coffee grinds and sweet almond oil in a large bowl and mix.
- Add coconut oil and mix well.
- Fold in the arrowroot powder and mix until all the coconut clumps are gone.
Indie Tip: Keep the mixture refrigerated for a day to make it easier to scoop out, like butter.
