I knew I had this somewhere....I haven't tried it, but thought I would share. If anyone tries it, please post!!!!!
The orange peel-erasing properties of coffee grounds are well known. But slimming specialists at the nation's top spas have discovered that combining coffee grounds with sea salt doubles the cellulite-smoothing perks.
The reason: Caffeine is a diuretic that pulls excess water from skin, creating a smoother appearance immediately. And sea salt actually works to heal cellulite since the salt's large granules exfoliate dead cells on the skin's surface, allowing the salt's minerals (including calcium and potassium) to easily penetrate the lymph channels beneath skin. There, the minerals boost flow of lymph to clear blockages that trap fluid and toxins and cause skin to pucker.
Mix your own: mix 4oz (EACH) sea salt, finely ground coffee beans and sesame oil. In shower, massage into damp skin using long, firm, semicircular movements. Leave on for 5min, avoiding standing directly under showerhead. Repeat three times per week.
