Anybody heard of whether coffee powder can be used to exfoliate the face?

How much and how fine must the powder be. What is the procedure?Anybody heard of whether coffee powder can be used to exfoliate the face?
Actually it's the used coffee grounds...i dont know about it working on the face but it's good for ur hands...it exfoliates and softens them. I saw it on the ellen show a few months back. And my grandma (who knows COUNTLESS home remedies) vows by this. So i guess it could work on the face too.





Just wash ur face to get rid of excess dirt, take the use coffee grounds and scrub in a circular motion on ur face then rinse off and wash with a light smelling face soap...otherwise u'll be smelling like a starbucks employee all day lol





Hope this helps! =]Anybody heard of whether coffee powder can be used to exfoliate the face?
i havnt heard of it,


ive heard people put it on there hands to get rid of smells like garlic and stuff but never the face.
I haven't heard of using it to exfoliate the face, but I have heard that rubbing coffee grounds into celulite can help to reduce the appearance of it.
I never thought of it, it may work, I guess anything that's grainy might work. I would mix it up with some baby lotion or baby oil to ease application...I would assume that you would have to investigate the effects of the coffee components on ones skin after several applications.... coffee has got some acids and natural oils, if we can ingest it, it can.t be that bad....
I think that might be too harsh for the skin of the face.. I like to use baking soda.. I just sprinkle a bit with my regular facial cleanser and make a paste, it makes my skin nice and soft.. I also sprinkle a bit into my shampoo and it gets any gunk out of my hair.. Like hairspray and gel....Use it with your regular toothpast it's great at removing stains.. It's also super cheap and easy to find.. You probably have some in the cupboard ! It's how I use expired boxes instead of just throwing it away !!
You can use walnut to do this, but I suppose it works with coffee powder too.


The reason it works?


The hard fragments shift away dead skin cells and dirt.


Try for a size of 1mm beads and try it for yourself.


If it works, good for you, you'll smell like expressos all day long, and if not, well you'll still smell like expressos anyway.

  • How do i exfoliate my face and i have little pimples on my forehead how do i get rid of them they dnt what to?

    go awayso what do i do?How do i exfoliate my face and i have little pimples on my forehead how do i get rid of them they dnt what to?
    drink lots and lots of water





    at least 1 liter





    also put rubbing alcohol on them


    that always helpsHow do i exfoliate my face and i have little pimples on my forehead how do i get rid of them they dnt what to?
    I use Biore Shine Free exfoliating scrub every night along with Biore Pore Unclogging scrub. I use Johnsons and Johnsons toner and dab Salicylic Acid treatment cream on my face, then moisturize. If I get a pimple that's showing, I dab some toothpaste (The white paste, not the gel) on the pimple and go to bed. The pimple will have gotten smaller in size and less redness. You don't even notice the pimple that was there the night before.


    I also drink lots of water.
    The pimple cream that I always use is Acne Treatment Cream by Equate. It's pretty inexpensive and you can find it at stores like Rite Aide and Walmart.


    You might also want to try moisturizing your face to get healthier skin and for that I recommend Olay complete.


    Try to find out what your skin type is like and work from there. To do this, go to the make up section in either Nordstrom or Macy's and then find where they sell sun screen. There should be a little test there where you can find out what your skin type is.


    Once you've figured that out either look up your skin type on the Internet or in Seventeen magazine. They give recommendations for different skin types.


    Another suggestion is icing your face, but that's somewhat painful.


    You could try popping your pimples, but that might leave a scar.


    If all else fails, go see a dermatologist.
    use st ives i use it very good for my skin
    There a many exfoliants on the market. It all depends on how much you are willing to pay. As stated below, drinking water is a good start. You can also use creams, such as noxema. I used that when I was younger, and I don't have any acne.
    have u tried hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball to get rid of the pimples. try not to dry them out too much; could have adverse reaction and become worse. Also i use olive oil as a moisturizer. it just takes a little bit. u might just want to make one appointment with a dermatologist. also a friend told me that she buys eggs from meijers only and that does good for her acne.
    To exfoliate your face, try getting one of those microdermabrasion kits like Neutrogena or something, the little micro crystals are really gentle, but they exfoliate the hell out of your skin %26amp; they make your skin really soft and glowy. But if you don't want to go that rout, whenever you pick out an exfoliant, try and get the kind that are like beads, and not jagged, like an apricot scrub. Because the jaggedness will irritate the skin more than anything, and the round beads do the job just fine without the irritation.





    As for the little pimples, try a clay mask twice a week to dry them out if your t-zone is oily especially, then use Sea Breeze or another brand of astringent on a daily basis to clean the area of blackheads, and anything that's clogging your pores.





    And always moisturize!

    Can i exfoliate my face while on microdermabrasion?

    i had a microdermabrasion last week.i have my next appointment two weeks from now.in the meantime can i use st.ives gentle scrub once a week to exfoliate the face?Can i exfoliate my face while on microdermabrasion?
    You can but I think you should not. Microdermabrasion is invasive enough, give your skin some rest in between treatments.Can i exfoliate my face while on microdermabrasion?
    i wouldn't you can call the office where you had it done and ask them

    FACE Exfoliating?

    Does anyone know of a face exfoliating glove/pad that i can buy not too expensive? My friend told me that you can buy them in most shops and they have a hard scub part on one side for the exfoliating and then a soft side on the back but I can't find them anywhere..please help if poss


    ThanksFACE Exfoliating?
    ';APRI'; range has been going for years and they do a apricot scrub which exfoliates the skin brilliantly!!however they brought out some small pads with a soft side for washing and a rough side to exfoliate!!they will probably be more hygienic for the skin as they are disposable and you probably wont use them everyday!!SAVERS did them!about 20 in a box me thinks,for about 拢3.00,they are small too.so ideal for holidays,hope this helps!!FACE Exfoliating?
    go 2 boots and superdrug and they sell them there....... look round there are all sorts of dirrerent types 2 choose from!!!
    She may be talking about something like this:


    http://www.olay.com/boutique/dailyfacial鈥?/a>


    Other brands make similar products, should be easy to find at Walmart, drugstores, etc. Or may BufPuf, it's an exfoliating sponge without cleanser (you'd use your own). Just go slow and use it gently, they can be irritating.
    a glove isn't for the face its too rough, Dove exfoliating daily cleansing pillows are around $5- they work great and very gentle and don't have chemicals that irritate sensitive skin, or try Aveeno Positively Radient
    Body Shop should do them. Using a cream scrub is also good because the cream in the scrub will help ensure you're not rubbing too harshly on your face.
    Try Neutrogena Pure Glow Daily Cleansing Cushions....you can buy them from Boots, Superdrugs, Tescos, Sainsburys etc.





    They are two-sided facial cleansing cushions developed to put the glow of a professional facial at your fingertips. Each textured side contains micro-fine exfoliators, which polish away dulling skin cells for a smooth complexion; velvety soft ';corduroy'; stripes gently massage skin with a special conditioning formula.





    There are two types: for normal to dry skin, and combination/oily skin.





    Have fun :)

    Whhaaattt? Why do you need to scrape it? The skin on the face is very sensitive and delicate, especially around the eyes. I`ve never heard anything so daft. I wouldn`t have thought this would be recommended if you have moles on your face either. Normal cleansing with a lotion or cold cream should be enough.

    Face exfoliating question..............?

    I wanna exfoliate my face tonight, whats the best thing to use?





    I have white sugar, refined salt and pink Himalayan salt. I also have olive oil. whats best?Face exfoliating question..............?
    The exfoliant you select will depend upon the thickness of your skin. If your skin tends to be oily and non-sensitive, you can use a variety of fruit seeds to provide mild abrasive action. Cranberry seeds tend to work well for exfoliation. These can be purchased at your local health food store or online. Sea salt or pumice can also be used for skin that's not sensitive. If your skin tends to thinner and more delicate in texture, turbinado sugar, oatmeal, or wheat germ are good choices.


    You'll now need to suspend your exfoliant in an oil to provide lubrication. You can use olive, grapeseed, or almond oil, but many people like to add essential oils to give additional smell and skin benefits. Before making your exfoliant, read up on the many properties of essential oils to determine which one would be most appropriate for your skin type. You can also add dried herbs to your scrub to enhance the texture of your exfoliating scrub. If you plan on storing your scrub for long periods of time, you'll need to add Vitamin E oil as a preservative since you're using all natural ingredients which have a shorter shelf life.


    If you're pressed for time, a quick exfoliant can be made by mixing corn meal with water and working it into a paste. Apply to skin and gently massage using firm circular motions. A textured wash cloth or exfoliating scrub pad will add additional exfoliating benefits. Be sure not to rub too aggressively if you use an exfoliating pad as it can cause scratches and abrasionsFace exfoliating question..............?
    Sugar and salt are too abrasive to use on your face, but you can make a good face exfoliant at home - I use a couple tablespoons of honey with some ground cinnamon in it, or oatmeal mixed with enough milk or yogurt to achieve a good consistency.

    How many times a week should i Exfoliate my Face?

    I have sensetive combination skin,with occasional breakouts.How many times a week should i Exfoliate my Face?
    normally twice a week, but if you have sensitive skin start doing it once a week and see how it goes


    xHow many times a week should i Exfoliate my Face?
    No more than once a week and actually with your description you might consider going every other week to exfoliate. Your skin is not bad. It is probably more what you eat that affects the breakouts! Drink lots and lots of fresh bottled water or mineral water and stay away from soda and preservatives. Promise! You'll thank me when you get older! Nana
    Once a week is enough.
    well i would say about 3- 4 times a week depending on your skin


    but wash your face everyday and it'll get better
    Oh, grow a beard and join a circus!
    5 at the most bcz if you do more you can have serious damage to your skin. you should use a scrubbing acne cleanser twice a day.
    Definitely only once a week for your skin type. Use some pure aloe afterwards.

    Will my tan come off if I exfoliate my face?

    I tan outdoors, not fake tans. But will exfoliating my face (for acne) defeat the whole purpose of tanning?





    Should I just stop using my exfoliating cream?Will my tan come off if I exfoliate my face?
    no it will get rid of dead skin cells and make your tan last longer also use moisturiser.Will my tan come off if I exfoliate my face?
    not noticably





    try exfoliating before you tan tho, that will help you tan faster and make it last longer, then after tanning, rinse and wash your face - no exfoliating - and apply moisturizer





    hope that helped :)
