Find out how coffee fits in this routine!
Scrub with coffee and aloe vera + moisturiser
You already know, if you follow our blog, that coffee can be used for scrubs with anti-cellulite purposes. Well, you can use coffee for this purpose too, with the addition of aloea vera. You can use an aloe vera-based cream or you can directly use the gel from the plant’s leaves itself.
Aloe vera is a natural anti-inflammatory and refresher, and here its role is to restore the skin right after the action of the scrub. For this reason you can use aloe vera twice in this routine: by adding to the coffee grounds for the scrub mixture and you can also apply it on your skin after the scrub routine.
How to complete the routine
- Take a shower and alternate cold and hot water to enhance your circulation
- Turn off the shower and apply the scrub mixture (coffee ground + aloe vera) of your body. Massage it on your skin for a few minutes
- Turn on the shower and remove the mixture
- If you want you can wash every excess away with shower gel
- Once you have dried out, apply some more aloe vera on your body
- After the aloe vera has been absorbed, use a moisturizer as well on your body
Remember not to do this routine more than once a week, and you should always use a good moisturiser after every shower.
You can also use extra ingredients
Depending on you preferences, if you want your scrub to be more effective or more nourishing, you can consider to add the following products: cane sugar, dried coconut powder, or coconut milk juice.
