Beat Cellulite and Varicose Veins with COFFEE BODY SCRUB

The Coffee Lovers out there are going to love this article!

Coffee Body Scrub can beat cellulite and eliminate varicose veins!


That may sound unreal but there is a scientific rationale for that claim. In order to understand how this works, we need to first understand what cellulite and varicose veins are.

Cellulite is formed underneath our skin due to poor drainage of unnecessary and unhealthy fats stored in our bodies. These deposits of fat push against the connective tissue beneath our skin and creates the dimpled skin appearance which usually appears on the hips, buttocks, thighs, and breasts. Genetics, gender, body fat percentage, age, and thickness of our skin all contribute to the amount of cellulite in our body. This is usually a problem for women. Men do not get as much cellulite because the fat beneath their skin is dispersed differently. Some people resort to Liposuction to have their unwanted cellulite removed. Click here for more information and resources on cellulite.

Varicose Veins are swollen veins that usually appear on the legs. Our veins carry blood from different parts of the body to our heart. When they weaken, they are unable to do this and the blood flows back, causing congestion. Blood concentrates and swell within the weakened areas. Those areas also don't get as much oxygen, so the blood is darker. Genetics, hormonal change, smoking, overweight, and lack of water all contribute to the formation of varicose veins. Some people resort to Sclerotherapy to have their varicose veins treated. Click here for more information on varicose veins.

Now that we have a clear understanding of Cellulite and Varicose Veins, how does Caffeine in Coffee help beat cellulite and varicose veins when applied externally??

For cellulite, caffeine increases the blood flow on those problem areas. It triggers the evacuation of sodium and water and the intake of potassium in fat cells. Scrubbing coffee on those problem areas increases circulation and causes the breakdown of those cellulite underneath the skin. Click here for more information on how potassium helps in fighting cellulite.

For varicose veins, caffeine acts as a vascular restrictor. All this means is that it shrinks and tightens blood vessels which reduces varicose veins.


Come to think of it ... Coffee Body Scrub is Liposuction and Sclerotherapy withOUT the surgery!

Give this a try! You can do it yourself with our homemade coffee body scrub recipe or you can visit your favorite spa offering coffee body scrub. You don't have anything to lose expect those cellulite and varicose veins! .. unless you want to keep them ..


There you have it. Coffee Body Scrub can beat cellulite and eliminate varicose veins!

Homemade Exfoliating Body Scrub Recipes

For those who are fond of body scrubs, this article is for you!

I will show you how to create your own home made exfoliating body scrub. It will entail a bit of effort but you will be able to save some money. Also, you will be able to customize the fragrance and the amount of exfoliation to your mood. You can use these home made body scrubs for about a week.

Of course, if you’re too busy and would just like to treat yourself for a relaxing body scrub, you can always visit any reputable day spa. Aside from the professional treatment, the ambiance will help you relax.

As we age, our skin cells slow down in generating new skin so old skin cells pile up unevenly on the skin’s surface. Exfoliating it by scrubbing off the top layer of dead skin cells will make your skin smoother. It will also allow the moisturizer to penetrate easier, and will prevent the growth of ingrown hairs and body breakouts. Rubbing in circular motion during scrubbing towards the heart also increases circulation.

So let’s get on with it! The first thing you’ll need to consider to make your own body scrub is your exfoliant. Here are your Top choices …
  • Salt: You can use your plain old table salt for this. It’s cheaper and you won’t need to do any additional grinding. Salts have detoxifying and muscle-relaxing properties. But don’t use this if you have any minor cuts or scratches since it will sting. As a rule of thumb, never use salt for body scrubbing after shaving.
  • Coffee: Coffee helps redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of cellulite. It acts as a vasorestrictor, tightening and shrinking blood vessels to eliminate varicose veins.
  • Papaya: Papaya enzymes are known as an effective exfoliant and skin lightener. This makes a great whitening body scrub.
  • Oatmeal: Oatmeal body scrub is great for dry, itchy skin. It’s very gentle and won’t aggressively exfoliate.
  • Almonds: Crushed almonds are very exfoliating but may be too much for sensitive skin.
Now that you’ve chosen your exfoliant, it’s time to pick your oil. You can use any kind of oil (olive oil, vegetable oil) except mineral oil. Mineral oil will not penetrate into your skin and may leave your skin looking dryer once it evaporates. Just add enough oil to turn your exfoliant into a slushy mixture. Not too oily, not too dry. Once you massage the mixture into your skin and rinse, the grains will be gone and the oil will make your skin soft and hydrated.

For an added emotional benefit, you can add essential aromatherapy oils or your favorite perfume oil. Perfume oils are too irritating for the face but are fine for the body.

That's it! Simple - Affordable - Effective - Rejuvenating BODY SCRUB!
