BLACK COFFEE FOR BODY
Many people know caffeine breaks down the fat cells,
releasing them into the blood as free fatty acids and making
them available as fuel, stimulating the nervous system, causing
it to send signals to the fat cells to break down body fat. So it makes sense
to have a strong cup of coffee about half an hour before you head to the
gym. It also plays an important role in popular slim shaping products too.
A coffee scrub is super helpful in minimizing the appearance of cellulite, as
the exfoliation and massage work together to help stimulate blood flow and
tighten the skin. The effect can last up to 3 hours. One thing to notice, exces-
sive friction will stimulate the skin, and the skin will be stimulated by
more water, resulting in edema.Minimizing of cellulite is not permanent,
and it requires a regular routine to optimize the best effect.

BLACK COFFEE FOR HAIR
It is essential for loving yourself to take care of your hair.
Some people say that coffee grounds are perfect for shampoo
and conditioner buildups, dandruff and dust hidden deeply.
The hair mask made from coffee not only strengthens curly hair, but also
makes your hair shine, with ultimate fragrance.

TIPS ① Wet your hair and scalp with water ② Mix 1/3 cup of coffee grounds with a
certain amount of hair conditioner ③ Apply evenly to hair ④ Leave it for no more
than five minutes, and then rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the hair cuticle.

RISTRETTO COFFEE FOR FEET
Just as with your face and body, exfoliating your scalp is a
key for eliminating buildup and dead skin cells. Ground
coffee makes a great scrub for this purpose. You can make a
great hand wash by adding some other ingredients including coconut oil.

TIPS Carolyn Doe, spa director at The Umstead Hotel and Spa, whips up a DIY coconut
and coffee feet scrub recipe to soothe weary feet at home. The blend of antioxidant-rich
coffee and moisture-locking coconut oil makes for the perfect combination of natural in-
gredients to remove and repair rough skin. Doe’s recipe includes one cup of virgin
coconut oil, 1/2 cup of your ground Restretto coffee, and one to two teaspoons of
vanilla extract blended together. Prepare a tub of warm soapy water, then soak your
feet for 10 minutes. While soaking, apply one teaspoon of the scrub to feet in a circular
motion to exfoliate the dead skin. Rinse feet with warm water and pat dry—and feel free
to use the scrub on the rest of your body in the shower, too.The caffeine in the coffee
grounds will dehydrate the skin and the circular motion used to apply the paste will
stimulate blood flow, which may result in the appearance of firmer, less dimpled skin.
