Gwyneth Paltrow covers her body in coffee, olive oil and honey to make her skin smooth.
The ‘Iron Man’ actress has revealed the ingredients to her credit crunch "five-minute makeover" can all be found in the kitchen cupboard.
She wrote on her GOOP website:
"Today I bring you some tips and wisdom from the people who trick you all into thinking I am a semi-presentable woman. The first thing is to find acceptance when you look in the mirror. The mind wants to focus on flaws. Ease it into remembering the beauty of who you are."
Gwyneth goes on to give her recipe for a three-stage body scrub, which rejuvenates the skin in the comfort of your own home.
- Step one involves cleansing pores with a mixture of olive oil, coarsely ground coffee and Turbinado sugar.
- The next step aims to soften the skin by blending oatmeal and honey.
- Lastly,rub in aloe vera juice to reduce redness.
Ingredients for a body scrub are not the only beauty secrets Gwyneth has imparted on her website Goop.com, which is dedicated to health and "nourishing the inner aspect".
The 36-year-old blonde beauty has revealed she reduces puffy eyes by putting cold spoons on them, or cotton wool soaked in milk.
Gwyneth also attempts to banish wrinkles with daily facial exercises – she sticks her tongue out as far she can and opens her eyes wide for 30 seconds.
Finally, the Hollywood star – who is married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin – revives dry skin by slathering her body in extra virgin coconut oil after a bath.
What do you think about Gwyneth’s tips? Something you might try out?
takes too long…
I’ve been doing handmade coffee scrubs for years, it is great! In winter though, when my skin is more sensitive, I prefer ground sunflower seeds.
Good grief, will she ever shut up.
Who has time for all this sh!t??
She sticks her tongue out as far as she can and opens her eyes wide for 30 seconds?? yeah, I have something she can stick in her mouth. Vanity Fair made fun of her; they have their own take on this, is hilarious.
come on G. what woujd you stick in her mouth ?! curious of what you’ll come up with
For starters, I’ll make her bite on a big red hot Habanero pepper. It will clear up her sinuses and help her breath better; so she can smell all that crap that drips out of her mouth.———–

Great exercise, i’m going to try it on the conference call, there is nothing to do anyway, but listen, so i might as well keep those wrinkes away!!!
I bet you can’t do it without cracking up, merce. I bet you! LOL!

** I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally**
Can’t say i won, i’ve already done it, couldn’t stop laughing all through the call, i’m so glad not many people saw me :_) But that was fun!!!!

Stick you tongue and pour water over it while you counting ! should work!
