I have read and responded to a discussion here a couple of months ago about how coffee can make your skin look healthier, and younger looking. It can also avoid the appearance of cellulite. The procedure is to use the coffee as a scrub on your body, and leave it for several of minutes, then wash it off. After a month of doing it, I noticed that my skin became darker than before. Then I searched the net and found out that coffee can darker our skin because caffeine can boost natural skin tanning. So if you are into tanning, the safer way is to use coffee on your body.

what if someone has darker skin already, will this coffee thing work on it or it's just for fair complection people. Though think it will do the tanning and soften the skin and has no side effect also, quite great and natural....

It is effective for every skin color. If you don't want to get tanned, and just want to have a healthy, younger looking skin, I guess it is better to do that procedure just once in a month.

So, you have to ground the coffee bean, and make it like powder, scrub all over your skin, and leave it a couple of minutes? That will make your skin tanned? Would it work? Hopefully that is the right instruction, and avoid going under the sun and get suntan.

Yes, used coffee grounds are okay. Even the instant coffee is okay, too. I used the coffee as a scrub to have healthier skin. But for tanning, I guess it's better to mix some olive oil. According to http://thepassionateolive.com/wp/reduce-cellulite-and-get-a-tan/, Mix one cup used coffee grounds (warm) and two tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the remedy to your legs, arms, face, and wherever you’d like color. Leave on for 15 minutes before washing off. .
