Secret #7: Caffeinated Skincare

Nothing says, “welcome to the morning” quite like coffee.  Add some of that freshly brewed aroma to your daily shower routine and reap some surprising benefits.

When used topically, caffeine operates as an antioxidant, a diuretic and a vasoconstrictor, helping to redistribute fat cells and diminish the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins.

A quick and easy recipe:
2 cups of coffee grounds (used coffee grounds are just fine)
1/2 cup raw sugar or sea salt
2/3 tablespoon of massage oil (olive and other oils work too!)

To use: apply in the shower and then rinse off!  See?  Told ya it was easy.
