Lemons2lemonade Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 According to some info I have heard from a barista, coffee grounds are thought to aid in cellulite reduction by improving circulation when applied to the skin. I looked online and found some info on this, none of it too scientific. I wonder what would happen if potsies used this to help with circulation? Here is an article from discovery health: http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/problems/beauty/cellulite5.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Caffeine applied to the skin can have mild vasoconstrictive action in the cutaneous/skin micro circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyw Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Have you thought about how it would make you smell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Actually, you'd be more likely to have benefit just by drinking the coffee since it's a mild vasoconstrictor...and let your body absorb it more readily that way because that's what the gut is designed to do. Just my opinion...save the grounds for you roses, blueberries and azaleas, or use it as an exfoliant in the shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
