Beauty Find & Share: Redbook (June 2011 issue)
This month's Rebook had some very interesting articles, nothing really beauty related, but in their short paged beauty section I found this great DIY recipe for sexy celebrity skin. I thought it was great and hoped you all might enjoy it as well.

Excerpt from Redbook - June 2011 issue
A D.I.Y. Recipe For Sexy Skin (page 66) (click link for full article) (I couldn't find a link to this article online so I'll word-for-word it below)
Katy Perry, Charlize Theron, and other cele-beauties happily drop $405 on the Ultimate Total Body Hydra-Dermabrasion Resurfacing treatment (a major radiance booster) at the Ole Henriksen Face/Body Spa in Los Angeles. Ole adapted the recipe for REDBOOK - and it costs only $10.

Shower Smootie
2 oz wet coffee grounds
2 oz Epsom salt
1 ripe avocado, mashed
2 oz plain Greek yogurt
Sunflower seed oil

In a medium bowl, mix coffee grounds and sales. In another, mix avocado and yogurt. Combine the contents of both bowls, stirring thoroughly. Mix in just enough oil to make a smooth - not runny - paste. Now step into the shower, get wet and turn off the water. Here comes the fun part:
"Using the entire palm of each hand, vigorously scrub your body from feet to neck for several minutes," Henriksen says. When you're done, just rinse and glow.
Bonus: "You'll feel an immediate lifting and constricting of the skin from the coffee - and incredible smoothness too."

This little blurp in the magazine caught my eye - mostly because of the photo of avocado :) I love avocados and I will most likely be trying out this shower smoothie!
Have a great day beauties!

I saw that as well. I'm not sure about it since coffee grounds can stain the skin.

I've been using coffee grounds for under eye treatment as a de-puffer and brightener. Once the grounds have been used (brewed/filtered) they don't really stain your skin. It's safe :)
