Many years ago, I read articles suggesting women to use the used coffee ground to scrub your body to get rid of cellulite (every women worst enemy). In fact, it said that Cindy Crawford swore by it.

By then I hardly drink ground coffee, I'm more like an instant coffee gal. Not that I dont like ground coffee, just (1) I dont have the machine, and (2) Too troublesome.

So..last week Hubby bought a wrong type of coffee for me. He actually bought ground coffee instead of instant coffee, and he bought a BIG can of it. Luckily there's coffee machine in office.

I then remember on that beauty tips. So I tried dry the used coffee ground under the sun, it goes from wet to so dry (in fact I think I can brew it again). Then I scrubbed my body with it. It feels great, smells great (thou hubby doesnt like the smell), it's not rough too and ya..my body became all brownish and it's pretty hard to clean it away if your shower head is dead set on the wall just like mine.

Eager with the idea, I did more research on beauty tips using coffee and I found out lots more. Here they are:

1) Scrub to get rid of Cellulite
It suggest to mix the coffee with some oil and salt/sugar. I haven't try that, but I'm pretty content with just the coffee ground itself.

2) To use as facial scrub too
The ingredient/mixture is the same for body scrubs. But I think it's safer and more gentle if you mix it with honey. Coz I usually mix sugar+honey+water for my facial scrub.

The honey is to moisture your skin and the sugar is to scrub it away. So I don't want to mix sugar/salt with coffee ground again, too much scrubbing mixture I think.

3) Use warm brewed coffee for your hair
It says that brew the coffee, when it's warm (not hot) you can pour it to your hair and leave it for few minutes before wash it with shampoo. It's supposed to give some shines to your hair.

4) NOT COFFEE, but you use beat up egg for DRY hair
Separate the yolk from white, whisk the white egg until it's thick. Add 1 tbsp of water to the white, whisk until creamy. Mix yolk to it, blend it.

Wet your hair with warm water, remove the excess moisture, and apply the egg mixture to your scalp with your fingertips. Massage gently until the froth is worked into your scalp, and then rinse the hair with cool water. Keep applying the mixture until it is used up. Continue to rinse until all of the egg is washed away.

So...good luck trying ladies...I definitely will continue the coffee thing and will try the beat egg for my hair
