While coffee is most commonly used as a beverage, it is also gaining popularity as an alternative skincare solution. Coffee is high in antioxidants and may aid in the battle against free radicals, which can cause damage to healthy skin cells.
Here are several ways to incorporate coffee into your skincare routine:
Dark circles
Combine 1 tablespoon coffee powder, 1 teaspoon honey, and a few drops vitamin E oil in a small bowl. Apply this mixture carefully under your eyes and remove it after 15 minutes.
Acne therapy
Mix 3 tbsp. of grounded coffee and 2 tbsp. of brown sugar. Add 3 tablespoons coconut oil into the coffee mixture until a thick scrub forms. Apply this scrub on your entire face, avoid delicate areas such as your eyes. Allow 10 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
Anti-aging properties
In a bowl, combine coffee powder and cocoa powder and add small amounts of milk to create a face mask. Apply 2 drops of honey and 2 drops of lemon juice to the mixture and pat your face dry. Allow 20 minutes before rinsing with clean water. This mixture can be kept for three days in the refrigerator.
Decreased cellulite
Caffeine in coffee aids in cellulite reduction by dilating the blood vessels beneath the skin and increasing the blood flow.
Radiant skin
In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup coffee grounds and 3 tablespoons aloe vera gel. Gently massage the scrub into your face or body for ten minutes. Rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Aloe vera gel is incredibly calming and aids with skin hydration. A gentle massage with this scrub stimulates the cells and imparts a healthy, natural glow to the skin.
