Benefits of Coffee Scrubs

Coffee isn’t just for kicking off your brain and energy anymore—you can now put the naturally occurring nutrients and antioxidants found in the coffee bean to work for you in coffee scrubs!

Coffee scrubs are used to reduce puffiness around the eyes and diminish the effects of aging, thanks to caffeine’s circulation benefits. Even the appearance of cellulite may be helped by the impact of a coffee scrub. Caffeine—it isn’t just for waking up anymore!

Coffee scrubs are an excellent way to exfoliate the face and body—not only do they promote circulation, remove dead cells, and produce radiant skin, but the nutrients and antioxidants found in coffee are also good for the body, may protect the skin against DNA damage from ultraviolet rays and help in the body’s defense against free-radicals.

Facial scrubs stimulate circulation—add caffeine to the mix, and you’re improving collagen production naturally, helping to tighten and tone the elasticity of the skin.

The chlorogenic acids found in coffee may reduce inflammation around the eyes. Carefully apply a paste made from very finely-ground coffee with the coffee itself around the eyes. Leave for a few minutes and rinse with cold water. The increased blood flow from the caffeine may also help to tighten the skin naturally.

The polyphenols in coffee may help protect against damage from ultraviolet rays and reduce the appearance of aging, including diminishing the appearance of sunspots, freckles, fine lines, and wrinkles.

The combined power of antioxidants, stimulants, chlorogenic acids in the coffee bean, and sulfur make a coffee scrub a powerful acne fighter.

Do your face a favor and grow younger today with a coffee scrub!

Exfoliating scrubs unclog pores, remove dry and dead skin, boost circulation, and facilitate lymphatic drainage. Coffee scrubs made from all-natural ingredients take exfoliating massage to new levels for radiant health.

The caffeic acid found in coffee may increase collagen levels in the body. Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the body and is one of the primary building blocks of bones, skin, and muscles. Coffee scrubs may help diminish the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite and facilitate the skin’s elasticity.

Look younger and feel younger with the antioxidants found in coffee scrubs, such as polyphenols. Polyphenols may help protect the body from cancer and other forms of sun damage, as well as reverse signs of aging like sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Chlorogenic acids are a naturally occurring antioxidant compound found in coffee beans and are used primarily to lose weight and lower blood pressure; in a coffee scrub, they may also help reduce inflammation and puffiness.

Using all-natural ingredients instead of harsh chemicals can reduce stress on the body, so why not put the power of the coffee bean to work for you in a coffee scrub?

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and is continually subject to damage from the elements. Massage can increase blood flow and circulation. Coffee scrubs do more than just massage the skin.

The caffeine enhances blood flow, antioxidants found in coffee can instantly give you more radiant skin, and the antimicrobial properties of caffeic acid may actually help protect the skin against germs.

While no “cure” exists for cellulite, coffee scrubs may help reduce cellulite’s appearance. The caffeine in the coffee bean can dilate blood vessels, tighten the skin, and eliminate excess water.

Removing dead skin cells through a coffee scrub can result in smoother, more even skin tones, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

The nutrients and antioxidants found in a coffee scrub may be the next best thing to body armor!

There are nearly enough body scrubs on the market to warrant a Coffee Scrubs franchise; fortunately, you can easily (and far more cheaply) do it yourself.

You have to combine:

• Half a cup of finely ground coffee (coarsely ground coffee may be too harsh for sensitive skin)
• Half a cup of raw sugar (sugar contains glycolic acid, which helps and protects skin condition and moisture as well as provides protect the skin from toxins)
• Himalayan rock salt (the natural minerals and acids of sugar and salt help fight bad bacteria)

To this mixture, add a half cup of olive or coconut oil (coconut oil softens skin and can delay the appearance of wrinkles while keeping the skin’s connective tissues strong) until the mixture is combined, but slightly crumbly.

Either step into the shower or onto an old mat or towel, as a full-body coffee scrub is apt to be messy.

Dampen your skin, then apply the scrub, beginning at your feet, rubbing the scrub into the skin in circles, being careful not to irritate the skin by using too much pressure.

Once applied, allow the coffee scrub to dry for 5 to 10 minutes.

Rinse off and wash as usual with soap or body wash.

Experts suggest exfoliating up to three times a week and no less than two or three times a month.

A few words of caution: rinse thoroughly following a coffee scrub as the oils can make surfaces extremely slippery. Also, coffee grounds are not water-soluble. While this makes them ideal for use in a body scrub, it also makes them ideal for clogging drains.

There are several significant benefits to coffee scrubs, such as their ability to exfoliate the skin, assist in lymphatic drainage, promote healthy skin, reduce inflammation, and dilate blood vessels to help reduce certain skin conditions–all without side effects!

Coffee scrubs may not literally turn back the hands of time, but the combined benefits of antioxidants, polyphenols, and chlorogenic acid in coffee just might give your face, skin, hair, and body a whole new lease on life. So pamper yourself with a coffee scrub and let your skin discover what your brain has known all along!

Happy Caffeinating!!!
