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.

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

  Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: -           MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) -           Chlor...

What is the best type of coffee?

Good evening my MF Product Blog readers, it’s been a while but we’re back with more content for you guys. Today, we saw a reader ask, “Out of all the different types of coffee, which one is the best?” and we believe it’s a great question. However, we also think that it depends on what you’re drinking for and that is what we will be investing in todays MF Blog . So, without further ado let’s get into this. A good cup of coffee is one that does whatever job it is that you assign it. Whether it be the most rank, percolated cup of coffee that you’re in dire need off for that extra boost or the most complex mocha made with MF Coffee that finesses your tongue with a touch of foam while you eat an olive shortbread. I know, fancy. The point is that there are so many variations of coffee to tickle your fancy. So, given that there are lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas the point this is that, while the ingredients are simple, the experience is not. There is nothing crazy about ordering a capp...
