Bonjour from Campagne MaisonSTOP!!
Don’t throw out your morning coffee grounds until you read this!
This post relates to 2 of my 3R rules: RE-purpose and RE-cycle AND my motto: “Cheap is good, free is better”.
I read about this “smart idea” in Woman’s World magazine a few months ago and decided to give it a try. My hands are constantly being exposed to paint, caulk, and various cleaners that leave them so dry they feel like sandpaper. (I know--it’s my fault because I don’t like to work in gloves). Since I am an avid coffee drinker and love to try new things, I had to see firsthand if it worked. Now I’ve made this part of my morning routine because I know it works.
Just scoop up about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled grounds into your hands and massage them just like you were washing your hands with a bar of soap. Scrub about one to two minutes and then, rinse and dry. You will be amazed at the results! The tannic acid in the coffee instantly exfoliates the dead skin cells and leaves your hands velvety smooth.
Let me know if you try this and what you think of the results.
Please leave a comment if you visited the farmhouse today. We love company!
Au revoir,

Such a good idea, coffee grounds. I was to a home SPA treatment meeting last month and they used sea salt with one of their items, it felt like coffee grounds. Too bad I don't drink coffee, then I could re-use my grounds...

Hi Jacque,
Exfoliation is the best. It makes all the difference in softer, smoother, better looking and feeling skin. Love it.
Have a wonderful day.
hugs,

Jacque,
You too have good ideas. I look forward to trying this out. My skin is so dry during the winter & early spring so I hope that this will exfoliate them well ~ soft hands always.
Thanks so much for sharing~!
