We have had numerous requests from our customers for a scrub using coffee as an exfoliant. While we had heard of these incredibly popular spa treatments being offered at upscale spas in Hawaii and Bali, it wasn't until we researched the benefits of coffee as a topical scrub that we understood the attraction. Obviously coffee is granular, and therefore, wonderful for exfoliation. What we didn't know is that caffeine when applied topically may help redistribute fat cells and decrease the formulation of cellulite. It also may act as a vasorestrictor - tightening and shrinking blood vessels. In response to the requests, we've combined fine ground
100% Fair Trade Organic and Shade Grown Coffee with brown and cane sugars, mixed in
shea butter and sweet almond and
jojoba oils to give you our version of this popular spa treatment. For a twist we've added sensuous cocoa absolute, cocoa powder, and
peppermint essential oil to rich coffee absolute - a little mocha java for the bath. Cellulite or not - this scrub is sure to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth, and you won't have to go to Bali to enjoy it.
