Let us explore how you can use coffee for everything from brighter skin, soft lips, and getting rid of the unsightly under-eye bag, to exfoliating your scalp.
Brighten your skin
Just like a cup of coffee perks up your mood, coffee is also known to give you a perky complexion. Coffee is an excellent exfoliator. It helps get rid of dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
The caffeine in coffee also stimulates blood flow to give your skin a healthy glow. If you want to use coffee to brighten your complexion, use this recipe: mix two tablespoonfuls of plain yoghurt with a spoonful of ground coffee.
Apply the mixture to your face with clean hands and leave it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing.
Reduce the appearance of cellulite
Coffee is one of the best skincare ingredients for reducing the appearance of cellulite. The caffeine in coffee is known to dilate the blood vessels, reducing the appearance of cellulite dimples on the skin.
The skin also tightens from the stimulating effects of caffeine, which also improves the appearance of cellulite. Instead of spending a pretty penny on cellulite creams, why not give this coffee cellulite mask a try?
Mix one cup of coffee grounds, six tablespoons of coconut oil, and three tablespoons of sea salt or brown sugar. Get in the shower and rub them on your thighs and buttocks and anywhere else where you have cellulite.
Use firm, circular motions to scrub your skin and wait for about 10 minutes before rinsing off in the shower. Read More…
