Treating Cellulite With Coffee
Now
that summer is here, many people are concerned about the appearance of their cellulite,
commonly referred to as “orange peel” or “cottage cheese skin”. According to
the National Institutes of Health, “Cellulite is
fat that is deposited in pockets just below the surface of the skin. It occurs
around the hips, thighs, and buttocks. Because it is very close to the surface
of the skin, cellulite leads to a dimpled appearance.”
“Orange
peel skin” can affect both men and women, and although it does not pose a
health risk, people may be embarrassed by its appearance. Fortunately, there is
a solution to reduce the appearance of cellulite!
By
topically applying coffee to the skin in the form of a soap or body scrub, you
can effectively lessen the presence of “cottage cheese skin”. The caffeine in coffee has stimulating
properties that prompt the draining of the fats and toxins that contribute to
cellulite. When coffee is massaged on the skin, circulation increases, fatty
tissue breaks down, and toxins are released. These all result in a minimized
appearance of “orange peel skin”.
Dr. Ava Shamban, an assistant professor of
dermatology at UCLA, explains how coffee can be used as a remedy for cellulite.
She says, "The theory behind caffeine is that it actually can reduce fat.
It can enhance fat metabolism and also reduce some of the edema, or swelling
that we get around the fat, so the skin appears smoother."
Along
with the benefits of the caffeine, the coffee beans act as an exfoliant,
removing dead skin, and firming and toning the skin. Not only will topical
applications of coffee reduce the appearance of cellulite, it will also tone
and give you all around healthy skin!
At
Kalliste Shop, located at 10 Cedar Street, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522, we offer coffee
soap that is great for reducing cellulite. The coffee beans in this product
exfoliate the skin while the caffeine drains fat. This organic handmade soap is
great for your skin and is wonderfully scented. Our products are all natural
and contain no chemicals or animal fat (as many soaps do). Come by the shop or visit our website, www.kallisteshop.com, for coffee soap
to reduce your cellulite and get healthy skin!

Tea Tree Soap: Essential for Everyday Life
If there is one thing everybody has in common, it is the battle for blemish-free skin. People spend hundreds of dollars on popular name brand soaps and acne fighting products with high hopes of having perfect skin. However, because of the artificial chemicals and animal fat that are in popular name brand products, it can actually make your skin worse. Skin is pretty sensitive, and scrubbing with a soap that has little to no natural oils in it can create blemishes and dry it out. There is a soap, however, that can take care of all your skin worries.
Tea tree oil is the most versatile oil when it comes to fighting off skin imperfections. The oil works as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, which are great for clearing out all the dirt and oils that create blemishes like acne. When the tea tree oil is in a soap, it not only fights of acne, but helps get rid of dry skin. In fact, this soap can be used to help scalp dryness and get rid of dandruff. Since it is an anti-fungal, it soothes and helps eczema, Athlete's foot, and any other infection on the skin. Tea tree oil also has the characteristic of an antiseptic, so this soap can also be used on cuts and burns. Feeling sick? Use the soap in the bath and it may help lessen the symptoms of the cold and flu. Bugs also stand no chance against tea tree oil soaps. The soap is great to use on any bug bite; it soothes the bites and gets rid of them. A big plus to having this soap is in case someone acquires head lice. Use a little soap in your hair and the lice will be gone in no time. This one bar of soap can help in any skin crisis. Keeping a bar of tea tree oil soap around the house is essential so you are prepared for any skin crisis that makes its way in to your life.
Here at Kalliste, we have the tea tree and black clay soap that works wonders. The bars last a long time, and with the mix of tea tree oil and black clay, it detoxifies and cleans the skin. Daily use of the soap will get rid of existing blemishes, and help prevent future outbreaks. Our soaps are all handmade organic vegan soaps. There are no artificial chemicals or animal fat in any of our products. Before resorting to a well known brand from the nearest convenient store, try something all natural! The great smelling natural aroma of the soap and improved look and feel of your skin will rise above any other skin product.

Tackling Contemporary Issues Through Soap-Making!
Recently, Kalliste was given the opportunity to spread the love for soap-making to a wonderful group of high-school students at The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, NY! Students enrolled in the course, "Contemporary Issues in Science," had the opportunity to participate in a soap-making seminar hosted by our own wonderful owner Marie!
Students had the opportunity to create their own soap using all-natural ingredients such as olive oil, lye, and green tea extract. We were able to tie our soap-making seminar into these students class program by creating the soap bars for local veterans.
Tackling a "contemporary issue," through soap-making was an awesome way to incorporate our product and message into those in need in our local community. This was a great experience and not only was fun was had by all, but the students were able to help out people in need! We are happy to have had this opportunity to work with the Masters School and help out the community!
