Homemade Coffee Scrub & Mask

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of ground coffee
• 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt (or honey for dry skin)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional, for brightening)
• 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional, for added exfoliation)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Coffee Scrub

1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the ground coffee, sugar, and olive oil. Stir until you have a gritty, but smooth mixture.
2. Exfoliate: Apply the scrub to your face or body, gently massaging in circular motions. Focus on areas with suntan, dark spots, or rough skin.
3. Rinse: After scrubbing for 2-3 minutes, rinse off with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Step 2: Prepare the Coffee Mask

1. Mix Ingredients: In a clean bowl, mix the remaining coffee grounds with yogurt (or honey for dry skin). If using, add the lemon juice for extra brightening.
2. Apply Mask: Apply the mixture evenly to your face or other areas. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
3. Rinse Off: Rinse the mask off with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry.
