Today is the day to solidify your resolutions for 2015 and why not include drinking more coffee this year! There are so many ways to use your old coffee grounds that you are going to want to have that extra cup of joe.
Cellulite Eliminating Body Scrub
Completely eliminating cellulite is tricky and near impossible, but this scrub helps diminish those pesky marks. Coffee has been found to help reduce the look of cellulite and the coconut oil in the recipe will keep your skin moisturized and feeling smooth.
Ingredients:
1 cup coffee grounds
1/2 cup white or brown sugar
1 cup coconut oil
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Massage the scrub into wet skin for about 60 seconds on each area, then rinse with warm water.
Tip: You might want to plug your drain while using this scrub as the ingredients could clog your tub!
Boost Hair Color & Skin
Soaking skin in coffee grounds can produce a healthy looking glow without the damaging effects of tanning. Also, if you are looking to add highlights or darken your hair colour, soaking your locks in your favourite leftover brew can do just that and it gives all hair colours incredible shine!
Hair Growth
Caffeine can stimulate the hair follicles when massaged directly into your scalp for speedy hair growth! Brew a cup of joe and let it cool down before pouring it it into a spray bottle for easy use. While in the shower, spray the coffee onto roots after washing your hair and allow it to sit for as long as possible. Rinse your hair, and use products as usual.
