I wouldn’t put this on the face if you struggle with hormonal acne. But any lotion bar is likely too thick for use in that case. I’d recommend a natural oil-free moisturizer. I personally also found that taking pantothenic acid really help my hormonal acne when I had it.

Is this recipe safe for people prone to hormonal acne? If not can you recommend an acne-free bronzing bar recipe?

Have you noticed any color transferring or staining on your clothes from the coffee/bronzer?

I just rub most of it off with a paper towel while it is warm enough to be melted. For utensils, you can use a wood craft stick and throw it away.

It looks like the bars in the pic, but when I tried it, well… I had wished I haven’t. NO darkening, actually, made my skin pretty white. Has anyone have it change to darken after a while?? I hope so, I mean I’ll use it as a sun protectant! cost too much not to use it. …but NOT why I wanted it ~~~
((Sad face))

I saw a recipe that said to mix some with lotion as a bronzer… but i would love it in this recipe if you think it might work. Thanks

The zinc oxide is a natural sunblock. Non-nano zinc oxide is safe, since it won’t be absorbed by your skin (just be careful not inhale the powder).

It’s in inorganic compound which doesn’t seem like it should be good for you.

Thank you

Hi, Everyone:

OK — I tried the lotion bar as prescribed in the recipe. Sadly, it did not work for me, but I think I may not be pale enough. I did learn a lot in regards to making coffee infused oil. The second time around, I doubled the amount of coffee ratio to the coconut oil. I cooked the mixture for 3 hours and strained it through new panty hose that have been sanitized in the washing machine. I stretched the panty hose over a Pyrex measuring cup and taped down the edges. I found that my make-shift fine sieve strainer worked better than the paper towel. I was also able to squeeze any excess oil from the coffee grounds. The spent grounds were then sent to the compost pile.

I’ve been playing around with 2 recipes and merging the best of the two. I am using this recipe and another that uses black tea in the mix with some promising results. I’ll report back, if I figure out the correct proportions. My only concern is the level of caffeine absorbed through the skin from doubling the amount of coffee.

Thanks,
Martita LMW :o)

What is the shelf life once stored in glass container?
