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.

If contradicting research has you wondering if coffee is healthy or harmful, the answer is simple: it depends.

A recent study showed a benefit from drinking java on a population level. But it's difficult to make individual recommendations for safe coffee consumption, said Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy, a University of Toronto associate professor funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research who has studied caffeine and health.

El-Sohemy’s research has showed that coffee could either lower or raise a person's risk of heart attack. That's because safe daily coffee intake is going to vary with the ability to process caffeine, and that changes from person to person. There's no easy way to tell how effectively your body deals with caffeine, and therefore how much of it is safe for you to drink, he said.
