DIY Cellulite Coffee Scrub

DIY Cellulite Body Scrub for those not-so-cute dimples.

 

Dimples are cute - but not on your legs and arms.  Cellulite is something most of us struggle with at some point.  There is no real cure for the cottage cheese but topical caffeine has been shown to reduce the appearance. 

You don’t need to spend hundreds on caffeine creams.  Make your own version right at home.  Use twice a week in the shower for best results.
