Coffee good for skin?

It helps your skin with:
  • Your skin be free of different radicals that can cause acne, eczema and other skin diseases 
  • Break up fatty deposits which cause those ugly cellulite 
  • Clear up your skin of acne and other blemishes 
  • Act as sunblock and prevent sunburn and wrinkles 
That's why I use facial scrubs made from coffee and masks
Here are some I have tried
Mask:
You will need
  • 4 tablespoons very finely ground coffee
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 8 tablespoons whole milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons molasses(or honey but molasses is more gentle)NOT NECESSARY
Mix together the ground coffee and cocoa powder. Add the milk and stir to achieve a pudding like texture.
Wash it off after 15 minutes :)


I use milk and cocoa powder because
Milk has antimicrobial and cleansing properties.
Cocoa powder softens the skin and has antioxidant properties.


Scrubs:
Coffee grounds mixed with egg whites  

Coffee grounds mixed with your skin cleanser
