Coffee is an antioxidant that:

• tightens the skin

• uplifts your face and
• rejuvenates the skin cells.

DIY coffee skin care protects the skin against free radicals and reduces the risk of skin cancer. 

The caffeine in coffee improves your skin’s appearance and helps keep it healthy.

It is also a great exfoliator that helps reduce dark spots, pigmentation, and tan, brightening the skin.

Coffee is one solution for many skin problems. 

It is exciting when you can get flawless skin right at your home, isn’t it?

How to do a Coffee Facial at Home

When you brew your coffee in the morning, don’t throw the grounds away; instead, store them in a jar in the fridge. 

Do this simple coffee facial at home using your used coffee grounds to get the most benefits from DIY coffee skin care.

Ingredients You Need for the Coffee Facial!

• Coffee grounds (used or unused)

• Earth fuller (Multani Mitti)
• Sandalwood powder
• Milk
• Massage cream or gel

Coffee Facial Step 1: CLEANSING

Cleansing is the first step of a facial.

It removes dirt, excess oil, and other impurities, and cleanses the skin.

Before you start cleaning, you must clean your face with a face wash.

How To Make Coffee Cleanser

All you need for this simple cleansing method is coffee powder and Aloe Vera gel. 

• Take one tablespoon of grounded coffee powder in a bowl. 
• Add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and mix well. 

Apply this cleanser to your face and massage it in slow, light, circular motions for about 2 minutes.

After two minutes, wash it off with normal water. 

If you’re out of Aloe Vera gel, you can use half a spoon of baking soda as well.

Coffee Facial Step 2: STEAMING

Steaming your skin opens your pores and removes dirt.

It softens your blackheads, making them easier to remove through exfoliation.

How To Steam

• Bring water to a boil.
• Add essential oils to it. (If you don’t have any, add tea bags to it.)
• Drape a towel over your head so that it drops down on both sides of your face, trapping the steam.
• Place your face close to the steaming water to feel it massaging your face, but not so close that your skin gets burned or you have trouble breathing in fresh air.
• Steam your face for about five to eight minutes.
• Wash your face with ice-cold water to close the pores and to hydrate your skin.

Coffee Facial Step 3: SCRUBBING

The next step is scrubbing. Scrubbing helps make the skin smooth, soft, and shiny by removing dead skin cells and exfoliating the skin.

• Now gently scrub this mixture in circular motions on your face for about 5-6 minutes.

Coffee Facial Step 4: MASSAGING 

After scrubbing with DIY coffee skin care, it is important to moisturize and soothe your skin.

How To Massage

• Take a massage cream or gel.
• Massage your skin for at least 6 minutes until the cream is fully absorbed.
• Wash your face with normal water and dry it with a cloth or paper towel.

Coffee Facial Step 5: FACE PACK/MASK

This step is for the face mask. You are just one step away from having that brighter and glowing skin.

A face mask is the most crucial step in a facial.

Face masks help remove dirt and other impurities and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
