Equipment

Materials
Cellulite Coffee Scrub
- ½ cup ground coffee
- ¼ cup Epsom salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
Cellulite Body Mask
- 1 cup seaweed powder
- 3 drops citrus essential oil choose from lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit
- 3 tablespoons carrier oil- organic virgin olive oil or fractionated coconut oil

Instructions
Cellulite Coffee Scrub
- Combine coffee, Epsom salt and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Add the olive oil and stir.
- Working in circular motions, apply the scrub in the shower with your hands, starting from the feet and moving upward.
Seaweed Body Mask
- In a bowl, mix the powder, oil and essential oil together and slowly add the warm water until the consistency is thick and mud-like (not too watery).
- For application, I think standing in the bathtub or shower is easiest for cleanup. Apply to the thighs, butt and anywhere that cellulite might be a problem.
- Take the plastic wrap go around each thigh a few times, keep it taut but not too tight, and then around the butt/hip area as well.
- You want to encourage sweating, so lie down and wrap yourself up with a blanket or towel to stay warm.
- Rest for 20 minutes and then unwrap and shower the ingredients off with warm water.
Notes
Save any leftovers 2-3 days in the fridge.
