Hot Beauty Recipes With Coffee

Coffee, favorite drink of many people, is rich in antioxidants and cleanses your skin of toxins. It is an excellent choice for face masks and  homemade scrubs. It stimulates circulation, reduces swelling and makes your skin firm. 

 

Coffee has a strong antioxidant effect. It helps in the fight against premature aging caused by sun, heat, dirt, and prevents damage caused by free radicals. Flavonoids, antioxidants from coffee, are released during grinding which is why you should more enjoy a cup of your favorite beverage.

Recent research has confirmed that caffeine strengthens and protects the skin from excessive drying and aging. The cosmetic industry has successfully applied the caffeine in moisturizing creams for dry skin, which helps the epidermis to protect itself by stimulating internal production of lipids. Caffeine is used in preparations for the eye area as it stimulates the microcirculation in the layers of the skin, eliminates excess fluid and makes the skin firmer.

Get rid of cellulite!

Cellulite, that nasty spoiler of female beauty. We all have it, and want to get rid of it. But how? I will show you my way of dealing with that ugly appearance in this post.
First of all, if you want to get rid of cellulite, you need to hydrate your body. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day, because cellulite occurs due to dehydration. Second, drink four cups of parsley tea a day. Why parsley tea? Because, parsley tea is very efficient natural diuretic, and will cleanse your body of toxins. 

Parsley tea is easy to make:
1. boil water (about 1 liter)
2. add cleansed parsley root in a water
3. let it boil for 1 minute
4. let it cool down (room temperature)

Drink this tea every day for a month, then do a pause for two weeks. You can even add some lemon in a tea, but do not add sugar. The results will be visible after first week of drinking this tea. 

You will also need to do massage cellulite-affected areas with scrubs in your bathtub or shower.

This is a recipe for anti-cellulite scrub, which is highly efficient.

You will need:
- salt (2 teaspoons)
- coffee (1 teaspoon)
- cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- geranium essential oil (5-6 drops)
- almond oil (3-4 teaspoons)


 

Massage cellulite-affected areas once a week with this scrub. You can also scrub your whole body with this, your skin will be extra soft. If you don't have almond oil, you can add some other oil, like olive, or unrefined sunflower oil. I added geranium essential oil in this scrub, because it has anti-cellulite effect. If you don't have it, you can do this scrub without it, but I recommend buying that oil. 

You can also have anti-cellulite bath, once a week, if you have a bathtub. Just add a few cups of coarse sea salt in a warm (100 F) water, and relax for 20 minutes. After bath, take a rough towel and scrub cellulite-affected areas, massage in your favorite body lotion and enjoy that "new skin" feeling. :)

And at last, but not less important - physical exercise. Go on a walk when you can, run, swim, ride a bicycle... Anything. Exercise is important in fighting cellulite, because you need to stimulate your blood circulation in order to get rid of cellulite. 

I hope you will find this post helpful and get rid of cellulite fast! :)
