What to do with Coffee Grounds?

Hey there lovelies! Kamustasa naman? :D Was at the mall earlier with Mama and did a little Independence Day shopping after work. The crowd was unbelievable! I totally forgot that kids won't have classes today, plus it's 3-day SALE (YES, SALE) and 1st screening day of Man of Steel (which I decided to watch next week since I am pretty sure na madami pa ring tao sa weekend). Actually hauled a few things but will talk about it on a separate post.

So yeah.. I came here to talk about coffee grounds. Isn't it relaxing to just lay around, read a book, drink a nice cup of coffee especially now that the rainy season is here?.. Which most of us cannot do since duh, we have to work?! Hahahaha!

Anyway, I was watching a commercial one time featuring a certain brand of coffee and it's benefits. Like we all know that coffee is rich in antioxidants that prevents damage of cells and also some have weight-reducing or shall I say cellulite-reducing properties. Yes, I have definitely heard or read it somewhere. :p So naisip ko, "Ano nga bang pwedeng gawin dito sa pinagtirhan ng kape pagkatapos mag-brew?" Being the Pinay that I am, naisip ko saying naman yun diba teh?

So I tried using it as a scrub! :)

Here's how:



Start with a clean-still-moist face



Here's my coffee container? Isn't Mr. Snowman a cutie? :)
  

Here's my coffeeeeee!!

Get a dollop, a teaspoonful (depending on you) of this wonderful, awesome-smelling stuff.

Rub it in your face for like 30 seconds to 1 minute. Use circular motions to increase blood flow on your face. I like to leave mine for another minute just to let my skin drink the coffee. Mehehehe :p

And rinse afterwards. Pat dry.

As you can see, my face is a it reddish. This is because of the coffee's exfoliating action. It is not a gentle exfoliator and I do not recommend this for everyday use. Rub gently, NOT VIGOROUSLY.  I use this for 2-3 times a week depending on my mood. I bet you can also use this with a bit of olive oil to make it more moisturizing and less "sandy". 'Coz I be telling you, it's like using beach sand on ya face!

But in my opinion, it is quite good as I can really feel that my skin is clean and tight right after. It's like instant botox! Hahahaha!
DO NOT FORGET TO MOISTURIZE AFTER! :)

And let me know how it goes for you! xx
