We
found BODYCOFFEE bath products at the Natural Products Expo
West and fell in love with the concept. Why drink your coffee
when you can slather it on, right? BODYCOFFEE uses fair trade
coffee (move over Starbucks), and they use organic products
wherever possible along with other natural ingredients.
BODYCOFFEE
has combined the therapeutic benefits of coffee with other healing
ingredients such as olive and hemp seed oils, shea butter, sea
salt and herbal extracts to create products you can use every
day to diminish the effects of oxidation, sunlight and pollution.
The people over at Body Coffee say some benefits of coffee are:
Coffee
is an antioxidant or free radical scavenger, neutralizing
destructive oxidation reactions (oxidation is the culprit
of everything from aging to eczema)
Coffee
grounds are an excellent way to gently exfoliate the body,
removing dirt and dead skin cells, opening pores and so
wastes and toxins can be easily released.
Caffeine
improves micro-cellular circulation and breaks up fatty
deposits that can cause cellulite.
Coffee
is a natural astringent with the same 4.5 pH balance as
our skin, which helps it ward off acne and other blemishes.
Coffee
provides UVA/UVB protection by screening out sun rays responsible
for burning, premature aging and skin cancer.
Coffee
is a great cleanser and natural odor absorber.
