How does a coffee scrub work?
There is a widespread belief that a scrub made from coffee, acts at the expense of the smallest particles of coffee grounds - they exfoliate the skin. However, this is not quite true.

As a part of the scrub, the main active ingredient, caffeine, has a vasodilating effect, which increases the blood flow and accelerates the metabolism. It promotes skin rejuvenation and fat splitting. That's why coffee scrub is often used as an anti-cellulite remedy, which also helps to lose weight.

Since coffee is also rich in natural antioxidants, the skin after applying the scrub becomes not only more beautiful, but also younger. We can say that the coffee remedy is not just a scrub, but also a mask for the skin of the face and body.
