When we set out to create an all-natural skin care company, we looked to anchor our products on a signature formulation. We were delighted to see our friends @ The Truth We Seek post the update above.

All the oils listed were candidates for our base and as followers of JAVA know, we chose Argan Oil to mix with our proprietary green coffee bean extract. In combination, they pull a number of additional benefits listed under other oils such anti-oxidant, anti-aging, & anti-acne. We are working on a top secret new ingredient addition right now in the JAVA Lab, pulling from essential minerals from the sea. If successful, it will open a new vector of skin care benefits for JAVA Tribe customers.

Stay tuned!

When is the last time you gave your body a really good scrubbing?

~ javavp ~ Leave a comment

We recommend using JAVA Body Scrub everywhere from the neck down about twice a week.

Here are a few reasons why:

Instantly makes skin look more youthful and healthy
Helps to unclog pores, remove excess oil and helps prevent ingrown hairs
Helps moisturizers penetrate deeply instead of getting stuck in dead skin         buildup
Makes for a more even application of self tanner
Boost circulation and cell turn-over
Reduces the look of dark spots and other skin imperfections
It feels great!

Never forget this important step to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

🌸 Spring Is Here – It’s That Time Again Ladies!

End of Winter = 1st of Spring Leg Shave

Its officially spring and if you’re anything like us, it’s been awhile since you’re legs have seen the light of day. Its time to get those babies shaved and, while you’re at it,  get those toes painted too!

We’d like to suggest trying a new technique:Use JAVA Body Scrub to exfoliate before you shave to get those legs silky smooth for their first day out in the sunshine this spring.

Here’s how we do it:

Cleanse with JAVA Body Wash. You’re going to want to wash before exfoliating so all of those wonderful oils from the scrub can absorb into your freshly cleaned skin.

Next, exfoliate with JAVA Body Scrub rubbing in gentle circles all over the legs and feet. Not only is this going to remove the dead skin that’s been building up on your legs and feet, but it’s also going to help with ingrown hairs that may have developed with all of the winter tights and leggings wearing. After you’ve scrubbed lightly, rinse off the scrub granules, but leave behind as much of the oil as you can.

Now, use your favorite razor and shave with the oil left on your legs – we don’t use any other shaving cream or gels.

Rinse off then lightly pat dry. Follow with JAVA Body Serum to help prevent any red bumps or itching and to keep skin smooth and hydrated.

Grab a short skirt and a strappy pair of sandals to show off those super soft and shiny legs and feet!!Happy Shaving!

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!
