How do you like your coffee?


If you are anything like me, you really love your cup of Joe in the morning! If you make your own coffee at home before rushing out, what do you do with the coffee grounds that are in reserve after you've made your brew?


Well, before you go to throw it out to make room for the fresh coffee in the morning, WAIT! I got another purpose for you, how about two? Coffee grounds can be used for facials AND cellulite treatments.


It's a very simple procedure, requiring minimal ingredients that anyone can do themselves or request it by a skincare professional. For a cellulite treatment you need :




  • a quarter cup of warm coffee grounds




  • A tablespoon of olive oil




  • plastic wrap




Mix the ingredients together apply to the affected cellulite area with your hand or a loofah mitt. Wrap the area with the plastic wrap and let sit for several minutes (10-15). Unwrap brush it off and rinse with warm water in the shower. Twice per week is sufficient for this procedure.


For the face, try an aromatic coffee facial. Just as with treating cellulite, the coffee on the face helps to tone and firm, as well as remove dead skin and minimize pores.




  • 1/4 cup used coffee grounds




  • one egg white




Combine well and gently massage on the face. Let it dry, then rinse well with warm water. Apply a good moisturizer.


This proves yet again that it does not take lots of money to have beautiful skin.
