Key points

It is good for promoting weight loss, both externally and internally. But while frequent consumption of coffee in beverage form can increase the appearance of cellulite, coffee wraps, on the other hand, effectively smooth the skin, tighten it and reduce the appearance of "orange peel".

Feedback from private users
The skin, on the other hand, slowly tones up and tightens, thanks to improved blood circulation.
I've only lost 1.5kg in weight, but I can see my body tightening up. Although my waist and flanks still show the same figure as a week ago. The thighs, on the other hand, are a good minus.
The skin is firmer, more elastic, toned and feels very pleasant, like after a good exfoliation. There is less flabbiness and therefore less cellulite on the legs.
But I can tell you that my skin has never been so soft, not just ever, but probably for a very long time. I kept touching the treated areas and couldn't believe it was possible to be so smooth. The mirror was also pleased, even at a glance it was clear that the skin texture was much better! Even with various twists and bends there was no that dreaded "orange peel" effect.
This is the first time I've tried something like this and I realise that they do it in spas, which makes it even more enjoyable and I don't have to go anywhere. I just apply it to the right areas, wrap it in clingfilm and go about my business.

Coffee grounds wrap: best recipes
There are many ways to wrap with coffee grounds. The addition of various ingredients increases the effectiveness of the sessions and brings additional positive effects.
Here are some of the most common methods:
"Coffee and milk wrap"
Dilute three spoonfuls of ground coffee with hot milk until it forms a thick mass that is applied to the desired areas and wrapped in clingfilm. The treatment lasts for at least one hour.
"Honey and Coffee"
Mix coffee grounds and natural honey in the proportion one to two, buckwheat honey has the best effect. Grinded red pepper is added to the mixture - 1 teaspoon per half litre of mixture. Specialists do not recommend such a wrap for women with sensitive skin, although they recognise it as the most effective.
"Coffee and aromatic oils"
Adding various oils to the composition improves the quality of the treatment and helps you get an additional effect. Citrus oils should be added for those who want to improve anti-cellulite and fat-burning. Moisturising olive or linseed oils are recommended for people with delicate or dry skin. The recipe of mixing the mixture with oils is very simple - the oil is heated up to the highest possible temperature and mixed with already prepared standard coffee mixture. For a full body treatment, 50 ml of oil is sufficient.
"Cosmetic clay and coffee"
This method uses both blue and white clay. The difference in formulation is that when using blue, the composition is mixed in equal proportions and then poured with hot water. With white coffee it is necessary to dilute it in milk and the clay in water. The mixtures are then combined.

Men
The coffee wrap procedure is popular with both women and men.
How the procedure is carried out
In the showroom
- Massage and peeling. First a superficial exfoliation and an anti-cellulite massage are performed. The peeled skin, whose blood vessels are better able to pump blood thanks to the massage, is able to absorb more nutrients.
- Coffee wrap. Coffee mass is prepared and applied in a thin layer to the problem area. The client is then wrapped in plastic wrap and covered with a warm blanket.
- Removing the mask. After 15-20 minutes, remove the foil and rinse off the coffee grounds under warm water in the shower.
- Moisturise. To consolidate the effect, clean skin is coated with an anti-cellulite cream.
At home
- Preparation for the coffee wrap. As in the salon, the first step is to cleanse the skin. A gentle exfoliation is carried out so that the beneficial substances can be absorbed better.
- Preparation of the mixture. 50-70 grams of coffee should be dissolved in hot water until it becomes a thick pulp. The mixture should be homogenous, lump-free and sour cream-like. Let the mixture cool down to +40 °C and apply to the skin. Then wrap in plastic wrap and cover with a blanket.
- Completion of the procedure. After 40-50 minutes, rinse the coffee grounds off under a warm shower and cover the skin with a moisturising cream.
Coffee wraps are best done in a salon, as they use professional products that have a more pronounced effect.
The average duration of a coffee wrap is 30-60 minutes.
The treatments give the skin a supple, smooth and soft texture. The body is cleansed of toxins and impurities. Caffeine helps to accelerate the breakdown of fat and to remove it from the body quickly.

Wraps are performed on the parts of the body most often affected by fatty deposits and swelling.
Namely:
- feet;
- stomach;

Specialists do not recommend covering with cling film:
- neck;
- shoulders;
- chest.
