Coffee makes the skin glow because it has a detoxifying, draining, and antioxidant effect and stimulates your blood circulation. Here's a guide to the best do-it-yourself coffee-based face masks and scrubs.
Coffee peeling for radiantly beautiful skin
Coffee masks serve as a natural peeling, as coffee beans stimulate cell renewal. At the same time, they have an anti-inflammatory effect that soothes the skin when it is reddened or after an acne breakout. Some of the coffee masks listed below, used as a nighttime beauty routine, also protect the skin from the effects of free radicals, thus counteracting premature aging.
Coffee peeling protects your skin from stress and makes it smooth
The face mask is the most important repair tool, and because of the remarkable benefits coffee has for the skin, we've put together a few do-it-yourself masks based on this ingredient. You will also find all the other ingredients with benefits for different skin types in your pantry.
Coffee peeling with honey and baking powder
Ingredients
1 teaspoon of ground coffee
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Ground Coffee in Stainless Steel Scoop.
Preparation
Mix all of the ingredients into a paste.
Apply the paste of coffee, honey, and baking soda to the cleansed face and neck and massage in circular motions from the center outwards and from top to bottom.
Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes without letting it dry completely, then remove it with lukewarm water.
Dry off the face and then use a moisturizer (except for combination skin or oily skin).
Coffee mask for sensitive skin
Just as there are different serums depending on the skin type, there are also ways to add ingredients to coffee masks so that they are suitable for sensitive skin. An example of this is the addition of honey and oatmeal.
Ingredients
¼ cup of ground coffee beans
¼ cup honey (preferably organic honey)
1 vitamin E capsule
½ cup of oatmeal
Preparation
Mix the ingredients in question until paste forms.
After cleansing the skin, apply the mask with a gentle circular massage.
Leave it on without letting it dry completely (on the face and neck), then rinse it off with warm water.
Just pat dry with a facial tissue.
Coffee peeling with milk
Ingredients
3 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee beans
Milk of your choice
Preparation
Put the freshly ground coffee beans and a splash of milk in a bowl.
Add in the amount of milk and a little plain yogurt needed to make a paste that is neither too dry nor too runny.
Apply the mask to the cleansed face and massage gently in circular motions.
Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the mask by blotting it with a damp cloth and warm water.
That's it! These coffee masks make a world of difference for smoother, healthier skin with less irritation. Remember that, like everything in life, the skin needs routine and consistency; and there is no better ally for that than natural scrubs with coffee.
