    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.

      Tips

      • 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.
