Coffee Grounds and Your Skin
You wake up to the pleasant smell of your morning coffee which you sip and rejoice. While going back to the kitchen to throw away the leftover coffee grounds, have you wondered about how else you can use it?
Here are 5 ways that the leftover coffee grounds can contribute to your beauty regimen:
1. Removing cellulite:
The fat causing dimpling of the skin, especially on the hips and thighs can be reduced. All you have to do is mix dried coffee grounds with the same amount of salt, and add a few drops of olive oil. Steam your skin and apply it in slow circular upward movements. Repeat procedure 1-2 times a week.
2. Hair fall:
Never ending problem of hair fall finally has a fix! Mix 2 tbsp of ground coffee with 3 oz of heated olive oil. Apply the mask on damp hair and wrap it in foil. After half an hour, rinse with shampoo. Repeat procedure 1-2 times a week.
Note: When used on light hair, the remedy might cause a change of tint.
3. Swelling under the eyes:
Are the bags under your eyes not going away? Try this – Take half tsp of ground coffee beans or fresh coffee grounds, half tsp of coconut oil, a pinch of ground black pepper, a few drops of water and mix well. Apply under the lower eyelids and rinse it off with warm water within 15-20 minutes.
4. Dry / Cracked lips:
Say hello to soft lips! Mix half tsp of coffee grounds and half tsp of honey. Massage your lips with the scrub for only 30 seconds, and then remove it with a wet cotton swab.
5. Oily skin:
Tired of having an oily face? Take fresh coffee grounds and mix it with 1 tbsp yogurt. Apply the mixture on your entire face by massage it for 1-2 minutes and then slowly rinse it off with cold water.
