Coffee for Skin
Your day might not start without turning to your old coffee mug from college, but have you considered putting those grinds on your skin? Dermatologic surgeon, Dendy Engelman, MD, says coffee is a natural, safe exfoliant that battles cellulite, too. The key skin-care ingredient of these beans? Caffeine! "Caffeine aids in the lymphatic drainage to smooth out the appearance of skin by increasing circulation. By exfoliating with a scrub, dead skin cells on the surface are buffed away and the caffeine adds some actual shrinkage to the fat cells. Skin is left looking and feeling smoother," she explains.

At home, making a coffee scrub is a no-brainer: just mix together ground coffee, sugar and coconut oil. Apply to your face or derriere and leave on for five minutes before washing off, giving you smoother, cleaner pores or a smoother backside.

Raspberries for Skin
A handful of raspberries might sound like a great snack, but these fruit superstars are also powerhouses for your skin. Thanks to super-high levels of vitamin C, Mackey explains their strong antioxidant properties protects skin from free radicals (major skin agers). "They hydrate the skin and naturally increase both collagen and elastin levels. They're also a smart source of vitamin K which helps the body heal wounds, scars, stretch marks and spider veins," she explains.

To use raspberries at home, you can mash them into a paste by adding a bit of coconut oil. Apply directly, leave on for 10 minutes and wash off to bank the rewards of these sweet treats.
