Coconut Oil Java Scrub
Caffeine Addiction at its best: reduce the appearance of cellulite and exfoliate naturally with this Coconut Oil Java Scrub. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to remove cellulite completely, however, there are things we can do to reduce its appearance. Indie Lee, founder of the all-natural skincare line Indie Lee & Co, 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, so use caffeinated coffee grounds.

Indie Tip: Keep the mixture refrigerated for a day to make it easier to scoop out, like butter.
Well I don’t know about cellulite reduction but I do know that putting my coffee grounds into my scrubs has been GREAT. I use some in the garden and some on my feet and legs, so no waste at all now.
I’m definitely trying this soon – looks easy enough! Thanks for sharing.
