    Default Coffee grounds for skin care

    Interesting article I found online about this.

    Wow, neat trick. Thanks for posting Cranky. As an added bonus, you will be irresistible if Juan Valdez and his coffee-bean-laden burro happen to pass by your window one bright early morning (joke!)

    Great article. I make my own coffee treatments at home. I love the way my skin looks and feels after a coffee mask.

    I posted a link to this product eons ago but nobody paid any attention... scroll down for the article "caffine lotion may prevent cancer." As an aside, I absolutely love tanning outdoors with maui babe! And it smells so friggin delicious!!!

    thanks for the link cranky. FH, how do you make coffee treatments at home? I want to try a coffee mask!

    Its so simply but, very messy.
    I take instant coffee grounds (organic, when I can find it) and mix them with warm water until I get the consistency I want.
    Then let it dry and rinse well. Followed by toner and moisturizer.
    I use it on my whole body when I have the time. Its a lot cheaper then buying the products plus its almost pure coffee.

    FH - do you mean instant coffee, like crystals, like Tasters Choice?

    Yes. When I go to Whole Foods later, I plan on checking for organic instant coffee.

    The caffiene is absorbed through the pores, so don't be surprised if you don't need a red bull later on!

    Hey Farrah, I just tried your coffee mask over the weekend and it was soooo cool! At first I was like, "disgusting" and I was truly worried that it would stain my skin but it didn't and it dried all tight on my face like a regular mask would. Of course, I did smell like coffee for some time afterwards (not so bad it did smell yummy) and hardkandee I think you're right about it absorbing into your pores; I felt *zing* but wasn't sure if I was imagining it.

    Here's a bar soap made of espresso - http://themindbodyandsoap.netfirms.c...products_id=33
    The site says it's meant for kitchen use, but my Bf uses it on his face, which has gotten alot smoother!

    So if you put it on your ass (which is my plan) what will happen?
