Expert Answer

You can do a one-to-one mixture. In a mixing bowl put used coffee grounds and a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. Mix it together then use it in the shower gently. Massage it in, rinse it off, and follow up with a body moisturizer. It's amazing for your legs, your stomach, and your arms because that's where we get lots of loose skin.

This will gently firm and tone your skin, minimize pore size and get rid of dead skin so the fresh new skin underneath is revealed.

Those with dry skin should follow the facial with a moisturizer.

A great moisturizer is to mix the remaining yolk with a dash of rolled oats and a spoonful of honey. Allow the mixtures to dry/stiffen before you wash the mixture off using warm water. Cool down with ice cubes after to shrink pores and tighten skin.
