Coffee is one of the most popular beverages that people drink to energize themselves. But, do you know coffee can enhance your skin’s beauty.
Coffee is the most popular ingredient in the cosmetic industry too. There many products in the market which have coffee as the main ingredient in it like face cream, lotion, scrubs, soaps and much more. So, why not can we use it as a face mask to reap maximum benefits from it?
Yes, Coffee Face Masks can be more powerful and effective on your skin if it is used on a regular and the best part is, you are not feeding your skin the harmful chemicals.
Why are the coffee face masks good for our skin?
Coffee is good for our skin because of its richness in caffeine and antioxidants. This is the reason why the cosmetic industry is incorporating caffeine as the main ingredient in their products. It can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The antioxidants attack free radicals damaging our skin and improves skin elasticity.
Caffeine also possesses an anti-inflammatory property that can reduce the inflammation and calm redness of the skin. Due to this property, it treats puffy eyes and dark circles too. It can repair damages done by the UV rays and make the skin healthy.
It exfoliates the dead skin cells and helps to regenerate the new cells. Due to this, it also helps to remove cellulite from the skin by dehydrating fatty cells and improves blood circulation in the skin to remove it.
How can I apply coffee as a face mask?
There are many ways to apply coffee on your face but some people told me their recipes and the best part is, it works for them. Some of the simplest and quick recipes are
– Coffee face mask for smooth and clear skin
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee (or coffee-ground)
- 1/2-1 tablespoon milk ( 2% or whole milk works wonderfully. Raw milk is even better! )
How to apply
Mix and make a spreadable paste and apply it to cleansed face. If you are using coffee grounds then let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes. Gently massage the coffee face mask onto the face and let dry for 15-20 minutes.
Then rinse it off with cold water while massaging gently for 1-2 minutes to exfoliate any dead skin cells from the face. Repeat it 2-3 times a week. The mixture of coffee and milk will leave your skin clear from dirt and dead skin cells and makes skin soft and smooth. It will also calm your skin’s redness and reduce inflammation of the skin.
