Kitchen Beauty: 5 Beauty Tips With Coffee

Let’s be real here, getting through a day without your dose of caffeine is basically impossible. It’s an addiction that we’re not ashamed of. But what if we told you that you can use your favourite drink on your face? No, don’t go pouring coffee on your face. We’ve compiled 4 ultimate beauty hacks you can make yourself with some java.

Eye mask for swollen eyes: It couldn’t be simpler. Just don’t throw away your coffee grounds in the morning. Let them cool and apply them under your eyes for 20 minutes. Caffeine contracts the blood vessels, which is why swollen eyes and dark circles are alleviated.

Facial mask for a radiant complexion: Another DIY recipe where you can collect all your ingredients from the kitchen. First, grab those cooled down coffee grounds. Mix with some natural yoghurt and a tablespoon of honey. Gently apply this on your cleansed face. Let it soak for about 15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. You’ll end up with a wonderful glow because caffeine helps stimulate blood circulation and the yoghurt reduces redness.

Scrub for cellulite: There’s nothing to be ashamed of here, most women have cellulite and for some reason, it bothers them. The granular consistency of coffee grounds is perfect for exfoliation. Not only dead skin cells are removed, but your skin receives a moisture kick at the same time. Use about 250 mL of coconut oil with coffee grounds. The residue comes right off in the shower under warm water.

Rejuvenation: Fill some cold coffee in ice cube moulds and pop them in the freezer. Use them to massage your face in the morning, sliding them under your eyes and along your cheekbones. The mixture of cold and caffeine stimulates blood circulation, resulting in an immediate radiant look.
