What would we do without a cup of coffee in the morning? Presumably, go back to sleep. The brown-gold is essential for our day. Incidentally, you shouldn’t throw away the coffee grounds.
Because this is perfect to replace many expensive beauty products:
Coffee grounds as a facial scrub
The antioxidants in coffee can counteract the skin aging process. The caffeine stimulates blood circulation and makes the skin look fresher. The coarse grains of the coffee grounds also remove dead skin, which really makes our complexion shine. An ideal peeling for our skin. And this is how you do your facial scrub with coffee grounds:
- 2 teaspoons of coffee grounds
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Mix and apply to face and neck. Then massage gently into the skin, avoiding the eye area.
Coffee as a hair treatment
Caffeine promotes hair growth by stimulating the hair roots. The antioxidants also protect against hair breakage. All good prerequisites for hair treatment. But be careful: coffee stains. So blondes shouldn’t throw their conventional hair treatment out the window. But if you have dark hair, you can simply massage a cup of coffee including coffee grounds into your hair and scalp, leave it on for twenty minutes, and rinse thoroughly. It’s already done the DIY coffee hair treatment.
Foot rasp
You can also say goodbye to annoying calluses thanks to coffee grounds. Simply mix a teaspoon of coffee grounds with olive oil and massage your feet with it. The granules remove flakes of skin and the caffeine stimulates blood circulation. Then you can safely throw the rasp into the bucket.
Coffee grounds as a body scrub
Coffee grounds are a great beauty product not only for the facial skin but also for the rest of the body. Because a body peeling with the waste product can not only improve the complexion but also prevent cellulite. And this is how the alternative to the body scrub works:
- 1 cup of coffee
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or jojoba oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
Mix, distribute on the body, and massage in.
Coffee for alert eyes
You can also replace the eye cream with a little coffee grounds. Dab a finger full around the eyes, let it work in, and gently rinse off again. But be careful: In no case should you rub the granules around the eye area, because the skin there is very thin and sensitive.
