You take coffee grounds from your morning coffee and mix it up with honey to form a mass. Coffee tones + exfoliates the skin, while honey nourishes it.

PS: Hello Natalia, thanks a lot! I'm going to Poland in the beginning of August, there's some music festival in Plock we plan to attend

OMG the coffee craze
Another way to prepare it is to take the gounds and mix them with one tablespoon cinnamon and shower gel It works wonders and is super cheap but beware - the coffeine is absorbed through the skin and it has the same effect as drinking coffe (two double espressos )

OxxOxx Super! Are you going to watch or are you participating too?

Maybe a mod would like to make this sticky if there are enough replies/interest

I'd be interested to read the favourites of others, so answer these Q's if you like:

SKIN TYPE I have combination/problem skin so I've searched for years to find the right products that keep oil free and also protect my skin...and finally I found gerda spillmann skin care (hence my screen name!)
CLEANSER: (All of my products are Gerda Spillman...(GS))
I use the peau de fleurs cleansing milk

TONER: I actually don't use a toner!

MOISTURISER (day and/or night): depending on where I'm traveling...if I'm some where humid then I use (GS) plantoserimin lotion at night and planto...tages cream during the day to keep the oil down...

EYE CREAM: I LOVE GS EYE REGION CREAM...IT IS SO SOOTHING! IT'S GREAT!

FACIAL WASH: peau de fleurs

EXFOLIATOR: If I need to exfoliate then i use the peau de fleurs bar it has oat meal in it so its natural, and its not too abrasive like some exfoliator.

ACNE TREATMENTlanto...lotion and tages cream

MASKf course...Gerda spillman cream mask...I wear it every day...I think it's recommended at night but I wear it during the day under my foundation...I've used it on a type of arm acne and it works good.

SKIN=Combo (unless I aggravate it then it can become sensative)

CLEANSER=Cetaphil
MOISTURIZER= it's an all natural moistrizer with chamomile, lavender, tea tree, rose extract, shea butter and olive oil. It's from an aromatherapy company called SAJE. I am not sure if it's available outside of Canada?
Toner= from the same place as I get my moisturizer-it has only 100% organic all natural ingredients.
EYECREAM=currently looking for a good one!-preferably a mild, all natural one.
EXFOLIATOR and MASK=MAC scrub mask. You get both accomplished at once with this!

FYI- Incase anyone is interested in all natural skin care: here's the link to the Aromatherapy company called SAJE where I get my skin care: www.saje.ca the skincare line I use is called Acne zap. Although I don't have acne, this stuff is my HG skin care. I have just found that the less harsh my skin care, the better my skin is.
