1. Body scrub
Deflate fat cells by using coffee as an exfoliator. Thanks to the caffeine contained in the beans your skin will be toned and smooth. Tip: Use your favorite body scrub, add half a cup sugar and one cup ground coffee.
2. Glow-provider
Coffee is gentle enough to be used as a gentle facial scrub. If you wish to improve your complexion, try out the following: Tip: Mix half a cup of cocoa powder and half a cup of fresh coffee grounds. Then add one cup of whole milk. Stir until you form a paste. Stir up one tablespoon of honey. The milk will pack exfoliating enzymes while honey will lock in moisture. Apply the mask onto clean face and let the paste dry for 10-20 minutes. Finally, rinse with warm water.
