Ingredients

Rose Latte Anyone?

~ deetangled ~ Leave a comment

You’ve probably noticed that all of us here at JAVA Skin Care “LO💖E” coffee (although “love” may not be a strong enough word). What you might not know is that some of our products are directly inspired by our team’s favorite coffee drinks. So, when we tried a Rose Latte for the first time, we knew the aromatic combination of coffee and roses would make a heavenly combination for a lip kit – and the Bloom Lip Duo was born!

And now, we’re dropping some barista knowledge on you and showing you how we make a creamy, caffeinated, floral rose latte:

  • Pulling a perfect shot of Espresso – Layer finely ground fresh coffee into your portafilter and use your tamper to press the grinds down with approximately 30 pounds of pressure to form an even surface. Next, insert your portafilter into the espresso machine and place your cup underneath. When you press the button to brew the shot it should take about 20 to 30 seconds to complete. The brew should start out dark and change into a golden brown foamy liquid called the crema.  
  • Infusing the Roses into Milk – Add about 8oz of the milk of your choice to a frothing pitcher with a tablespoon of organic dried rose petals, then heat and froth the milk to approximately 150 degrees, infusing the flavor of roses into your milk.  
  • Build your Drink – Add your shot of espresso to your mug, then strain the milk on top of the espresso making sure to that steamed rose petals don’t make it past your spoon. Spoon any leftover milk foam on top. Crush a pinch of your organic dried rose petals and then sprinkle them on top of your latte.  
  • Now take a totally Insta-Worthy picture of your creation and enjoy. Then grab yourself a JAVA Bloom Duo so you never have to be far from the exceptional aromas of coffee and roses ever again!

Enjoy!

Bird Friendly Coffee… Wait – What???

~ deetangled ~ Leave a comment

Here at JAVA Skin Care, we are not only concerned with healthy skin care. We have also made a commitment to help support a healthy environment. That’s why we source Smithsonian Bird Friendly Certified Coffee for use in our skin care products.

But what does that mean? It means that our coffee has been grown using organic methods that help protect both the bird community and the environment. The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center has developed the only 100% organic and shade-grown coffee certification available: Bird Friendly.

When you use JAVA Skin Care, not only are you using non-toxic, all-natural high efficacy products, you are supporting environmentally friendly farms. Read more about this awesome program….

Need Help With That “Chicken Skin” Look On Your Arms?

~ deetangled ~ Leave a comment

This skin condition called Keratosis pilaris, is characterized by numerous small, rough, red, or tan bumps primarily around hair follicles on the upper arms, legs, and buttocks. Keratosis pilaris creates a “goose bumps,” “gooseflesh,” or “chicken skin” appearance.

Our friends and family tell us daily that our JAVA Coffee Bean and Raw Sugar Scrub exfoliates, smooths and  makes the goose bumps dissappear. Why you ask?…because of our signature infusion of green coffee and argan oil loaded with antioxidants that take our scrub to the next level.

Do you know The Organic Bunny?

~ deetangled ~ Leave a comment

IMG_7857If you don’t already follow her blog, JAVA Skin Care would like to introduce you to The Organic Bunny.

The blog MISSION: prove that an Organic, All-Natural lifestyle can still be glamorous!

The Organic Bunny has used the blogging platform to share her most favorite Organic, Non-Toxic discoveries. So naturally,  her next step was offering a monthly box subscriptions containing these favorites.

JAVA Skin Care was elated to be included in the May box. We sent a Q&A to Organic Bunny to get her thoughts on JAVA Skin Care products and on the organic beauty movement. Here us what she had to say:

IMG_9248How do you take your coffee? Organic, black & iced! I really am not a huge coffee drinker, mostly because most places do not make tasty coffee hehehe. I will only drink it from this one Mom & Pop shop by my house as it’s cold-brewed, Organic and tastes like chocolate. I also really only drink it when I need some serious energy!

How do you choose your beauty products? The first step for me is always reading the label. Once it’s in the clear, I then choose based off colors that compliment my tones which usually include lots of mauves, tans and BOLD colors like red or magenta! I love a clean, bold lip! Performance is also really important to me, it has to work and hold up well. So really, I want it all. Clean, pretty and high-performance, which can be challenging, which is why I started my blog, to really share the best of the best!

What is your favorite JAVA product? My favorite JAVA product is the Body Serum, the smell alone is so intoxicating to me, you want to use it again and again just to get the smell on your body. It also is so moisturizing without being overly greasy which is why it’s my fave. The scrub is a close second, when used with the body serum? Ugh heavenly! I feel like it eats up all of my cellulite and makes my skin brand new again!

What have you heard about up and coming beauty trends from your meet ups with stores like Citrine Natural Beauty Bar, Credo and The Indie Beauty Expo? The green beauty industry is booming, and it’s only going to get bigger which is so amazing to see because it’s been something really important to me for years now. I cannot believe that change is finally here and that women are genuinely into making safer swaps for them and their family. For me basic skincare is sort of “out”, mostly because it seems everyone has a line now. Brands are really going to have to get creative to stand out, offering more than just the staple products. Women really respond well to unique items they may have not seen yet, like a Green Coffee Body Serum 😉 It’s like any industry, quickly evolving which means we are all are going to have to keep up!

_MG_0071
How do you use JAVA Serum in your beauty routine? I love using the JAVA serum right out of the shower when my pores are still open and thirsty. This way, I only have to use a small amount to moisturize my skin and it really does keep my skin hydrated and comfortable all day. There is nothing worse than dry skin so this really is an important step in my daily routine!
