Can coffee be used externally on your skin?

Good evening, it’s MF Products UK and today's topic will touch on the use of coffee externally on your skin. Coffee is what we would regard as a ‘superfood’ it just possesses so many purposes that it’s impossible to find what it CAN NOT do. Nevertheless, the use of coffee on one's face is a sceptical topic but an interesting one and will be looked at on a greater level.

So, what can coffee do for your face externally? well, it can reduce the appearance of cellulite on the face.  Cellulite is a condition that gives the skin a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It affects 80–90% of adult women. Cellulite usually occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue under your skin and are commonly seen in the buttocks and thighs. The way MF Coffee is used is when caffeine such as that in MF Coffee grounds is applied topically, it may help break down this fat and increase blood flow to the area, thus decreasing the appearance of cellulite.

To create an actual mixture simply mix grounds with water or coconut oil and scrub for 10 minutes twice weekly on any areas affected by cellulite. This should hopefully reduce the appearance of cellulite gradually.

Another thing that can be treated using coffee grounds is under-eye baggy circles that form usually when one is heavily fatigued.  The skin surrounding the eyes is extremely gentle and contains very little fat tissue. Because of this, it’s one of the first places you might see signs of aging or tiredness. A multitude of things can contribute to the development of shady circles and puffiness under the eyes, including brittle blood vessels, deprived circulation, and inadequate skin quality.

As a result, MF Coffee grounds may seem to be a promising solution due to their high antioxidant and caffeine contents.

Studies have shown that skincare products containing antioxidants and caffeine can help prevent the appearance of aging and reduce under-eye circles more than products without which heavily hints towards the approval of coffee grounds being used topically on the eyes.

As previously discussed in an earlier blog, caffeine has anti-inflammatory properties and because of these properties, the coffee grounds stimulate blood circulation around the eyes, which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and swelling. Like before, MF Products suggests simply add water or coconut oil to your coffee grounds to form a mixture. Then, apply the mixture under your eyes and let it sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing. Repeat this process daily or as needed.

So to conclude, yes, coffee can indeed be externally used on the face.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

Benefits of pimento (also known as allspice).

Before we get into the benefits of pimento, at MF Products UK we believe we must look at a foods history first and learn about its origin. So, without further ado let’s look into pimento which is also known as allspice. The pimento tree is indigenous to the Caribbean Islands. It was found growing in Jamaica by early Spanish explorers who were quite impressed with its tantalising taste and aroma of the berries and the leaves. Pimento trees were then later discovered in Cuba and were presumed to have been taken there by migrant birds who had eaten the berries. They have also been found in Mexico, but it is Jamaica that has the longest history, having been in continuous production since the tree was identified in about the year 1509. The name Pimento originated from the Spanish word "pimienta" which meant ‘peppercorn’. To most English-speaking people the tree is called "pimento" and the berries "allspice". The name allspice originated from the widespread n...
