10 ways coffee is beneficial for the skin and hair
Puffy eyes
Coffee's anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce puffiness and inflammation around the eyes. Combine ground coffee and warm water; dip cotton balls in it and apply to the puffy area.
Dark circles
Make a paste by combining half a tablespoon of coffee powder and one tablespoon honey. Use this under your eyes to boost blood circulation and prevent dark circles.
Acne treatment
Rub coffee grounds gently on your face to remove dead skin and acne. You can also make a face pack with coffee, gram flour, honey, aloe vera gel, and lavender essential oil.
UV protection
Polyphenols, found in coffee, block UV rays and reduce fine lines caused by sun exposure. Mix coffee and lemon juice and apply to your skin.
Dry skinMix coffee and olive oil (both high in antioxidants) to protect your skin from premature ageing. Apply the mixture to your face and other dry areas.
Pigmentation
Applying a coffee mask on a regular basis can help lighten marks, blemishes, and pigmented lips. To treat spots, mix coffee powder with honey and lemon juice.
Anti-ageing face mask
Mix coffee grounds with yoghurt or milk to make a face mask. Coffee contains antioxidants, which can help fight free radicals and reduce signs of ageing.
Lip scrubMake a lip scrub by combining coffee grounds with honey or olive oil. Gently apply this mixture to your lips to remove dry skin and reveal softer, smoother lips.
Scalp exfoliation
Coffee grounds can also help your scalp. Mix them into your regular shampoo to exfoliate the scalp, remove dead skin cells, and promote healthy hair growth.
Cellulite reduction
Coffee grounds can be used as a natural exfoliant to minimise the appearance of cellulite. Mix coffee grounds with coconut oil and gently massage them into cellulite-prone areas.
