oh and you dont need a coffee machine you can just use the coffee shifter, or coffee grinds straight out of the package, etc.

from my latest blog post..

caffine is used in more products than we think! it is used to reduce cellulite. It makes the skin on our thighs more smooth, and everywhere else! "Caffeine's vaso-constricting characteristic also makes it a favorite ingredient in eye gels for reducing puffiness and dark circles as well as tightening skin around the eyes." So for those of you who have eyebags or dark circles try it! There have also been studies on mice where caffinee in coffee has been proven to kill off cancer cells (from the mice) but we're not sure if it will have that big of an impact on humans. When you exfloliate your dead skin cells it makes your skin look more fresh, and makes your skin glow. So, I think that my skin has gotten alot lighter since there are no dead skin cells on it :]

i had pictures on my xanga.. but you can use

aloe vera

honey

sugar

you can also use your cleanser!

everyone has a different way of doing their coffee scrub but heres the way i do mine :]

1) If you made coffee just scoop it out of the holder, but since i dont drink coffee I didnt make any so i just took some out of the bottle

2) put it in anything you want.

3) add anything you want in it, i usually get creative and once i used this old moisturizer that i never used.

I use this honey because i hate honey, i dont think it tastes that good so yea haha

finished product:

You can use it on your body, when i use it my sister always says my skin looks radiant

I use this twice a week sometimes three, depending on the days when someone makes coffee.

apparently this is a myth. rubbing coffe on your legs causes swelling which means you think the cellulite has reduced in appearance but it hasnt. the swelling just covers over the cellulite.

And the honey thing - it gave me blackheads when i didn't have any beforehand.

^ I am not sure if that is true because i have found many sites stating that coffee reduces cellulite appearance, but since it is not harming me (i dont think it could harm you either lol) i will just put it up there <3

[Guest carrotcake]

This thread reminded me of Ricebunny's tutorial on this:

Although, I didn't know it was good for eye bags. Maybe I will try it out.

^ yea, i always did it on my skin, but then she posted her post so i was like, oh you use honey with it?!

i hated the way people were yelling at her for saying she discovered it though, i thought it was quite stupid because she said she DISCOVERED IT, not that she invented it >.>

[Guest vip_gd]

haha when i scrolled down to the last picture

my dad gave this revolting look on his face xD

i wna try

curious haha

i only have maple syrup

no honey

[Guest Flicksityy]

I think it was on Ricebunny's blog yes?

I tried this, it gave me really nice skin afterwards

Bad thing is, I hate the smell of coffee, so i was suffering when it was stuck onto me --

[Booger Face]

I just did it right now. My skin feels really smooth.

Mine turned out to be a paste because I used a cleanser. I didn't have any honey.

The smell is unbearable but I guess I'll have to get used to it.

[Guest kittipat]

ooooh i want to try this...but won't coffee stain your face and make it darker??

[Guest ANGELAYLAY]

Wow I'm gonna try this when I get home from school!

[Azngel]

so whats better? this or aspirin mask?

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

This remind me of Faceshop Capuccino mousse foam face scrub.

I love that product, makes my skin smooth, feels clean, and fresh, but I dont like the coffee smell LOL

[Guest Nynna]

cool! i should try this ^^ i don't really drink coffee so i guess there's more use to it now xD

[secretlyjustyours]

haha no the coffee won't stain your face, if you wash it off well enough.

when you exfoliate you get rid of dead skin cells , thus revealing younger looking skin beneath :]

hence, lighter skin.

i'm guessing you have to use the ground beans/the kind you put in a 'brewer'? haha

all i have is instant coffee ): boo, i wanted to try.

[Guest lovecubedlee]

instant as in the one in the bag? thats the one i use, when no one makes coffee. i just scoop it out and then put honey in it, or use it by itself with water it doesnt matter what you use as long as their are grinds (used to exfoliate).

or do you mean the one that is just basically smooth flattened grinds? lol

[Guest auroralbutterfly]

Interesting. So simple to make! Thanks for sharing! I will definitely try it when I go home for the weekend or over winter break x)

[Guest justdie-yuki]

ohh make me wanna try i'm going to do it during break
