Looking to firm, smooth & tone? Skip the costly spa appointment and try my beloved "Spanx scrub" instead:
1/2 c. Olive oil
1/2 c. Coffee grounds
1/4 c. Coarse sea salt
Cling wrap
1. Blend oil, grounds and salt, then apply liberally from ankles to chest.
2. Standing in the bath/shower, begin wrapping cling wrap (firmly) from below. Start by bandaging each leg separately, then wrap your hips, torso and arms.
3. You'll need to kill about 45mins. Lie down or rest against the wall. Whatever you do, stay still.
4. Discard plastic. Scrub-off mixture using small, circular motions. (5 mins.) Rinse.
5. Now the hard part. To maintain the treatment's immediate effects, you'll need to avoid foods high in sodium, alcohol... basically, anything that may cause bloating.
If this actually works, I'll actually do it but it sounds messy as hell!

Have you actually tried this? I'm so skeptical!

I laughed about the "rest against the wall" option! But doing it at home is much cheaper than at a spa!

I have, promise! :) It's messy, no doubt, but a worthy monthly treatment.
