Coffee Cellulite Mask

Written by Julie Gabriel, Author of The Green Beauty Guide and Green Beauty Recipes.

Coffee is a strong diuretic, and its topical application helps flush the retained water in the skin, which is often the cause for bumpy, uneven skin texture. Ground coffee makes an excellent exfoliating scrub. You can utilize used coffee grounds for this application.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 5-6 tablespoons ground coffee
  • 1 teabag green tea
  • 10 drops grapefruit essential oil
  • 8 drop juniper essential oil
  • elastic bandage or plastic film

Method:

Pour the water in a bowl. Add the coffee and contents of the teabag. Stir well. Add the essential oils and stir more.

Application:

Apply to the problem areas and cover with an elastic bandage or plastic film. Leave on for 15 minutes and then wash off.

Storage:

This mask must be used on the day of preparation.
