Help improve hair and skin with coffee grounds?

Already ladies, and gentlemen too, ever wonder what to do with those left over coffee grounds your husband, or you, left when you went to work?
Well I have a few solutions for you...

1. use it as a face mask: mix some used coffee grounds and egg white for an at home, skin tightening mask.

Coffee grounds can help improve skin quality by:
- Exfoliating
-preventing and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles
-Balancing pH
-controlling blemishes
-pulling toxins from the skin
-moisturizing
2. Exfoliant - massage your face with coffee grounds. (tried it and my face was really soft after).
3. Hair Color Enhancer - coffee grounds can add shine to brunette and black hair, improve scalp health, and prevent dandruff. Use in shower in between shampooing and conditioning (tried it today and unless you have a lot of time on your hands...don't do it, it's a bit messy and takes a while to rinse out of your hair)

There are other uses such as fertilizer and deodorizing a freezer, but the skin and hair stuff applied was more interesting to me. If you want to see more uses follow this link.

Have a great weekend!
