Coffee grounds as a facial treatment

½ cup contains as much antioxidants as 3 oranges. It smoothes wrinkles, banishes blemishes, moisturizes dry skin and stimulates circulation.

Natural astringent, antioxidant, detoxifier and exfoliate rolled into one. Whisks toxins out of skin.

When used as a scrub removes dead skin cells.

Coffee grounds are a whole lot easier on the skin than salt based scrubs.

Caffeine in the grounds constricts blood vessels and skin appears tighter, firmer and smoother.

Can be ground up to give a softer feel to the face.

So the next time you want to have a real spa experiment try coffee grounds.
