Coffee Ground Scrub

I've always struggled with acne and lately I've been desperate to find something that will calm down my angry, irritated skin. This is the only thing I've ever tried that I get instant results from. I mix coffee grounds with Greek yogurt to add a little bit of hydration back to my face. The combination does wonders for my skin. You have to be careful because the grounds are super abrasive. You could easily piss off your skin if you rub too hard.

Here's my recipe 1 tablespoon of instant coffee 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar A few drops of lemon juice A few drops of honey I apply it as a scrub, then leave it on for a few minutes as a face mask, and I just rinse it off with water, followed by my Aloe Vera Gel and moisturizer. My face has never been this healthy, it doesn't clear current breakouts, but it does minimize them, making them less inflamated and taking away the redness. I also found that over time it does help clear away hyperpigmentation. This DIY recipe will definetly stay in my skin care routine as it has made a tremendous difference in the overall health of my face. I use it twice to three times a week. I would definetly recommend to anyone who's looking for a good, simple and natural way to exfoliate and pamper your skin

I used this for the first time today and for someone who has sensitive skin I really liked it. I'll post back tomorrow or in a couple of days to see if maybe it takes longer to work. I probably also should use it a bit more before posting aswell. But here's how I used it: I mixed 1 teaspoon of ground coffee with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and mixed it together with my hands. I put it on using my hands and rubbed it in, in circular motions very gently. I left it on for 15 minutes and then gently removed it. My initial thoughts though are that I really like it. My face feels really clean but also kind of moisturised because of the cocout oil. I did moisturise and put on sunsreen afterwards because you're still exfoliating and this used to always be my mistake in my skincare rountine, forgetting to moisturise. Not only do I feel moisturised but because of the coffee I feel it really cleaned my skin deeply and gave my skin a lovely glow. One word of advice is that although it is mild and didn't irritate my skin be careful when applying and especially removing the mask. Use plenty of water to remove it and don't use the coffee granules to scrub your face, it could end up damaging your skin.

Love, love, love this homemade DIY scrub! Personally i apply this once per week, as my skin is younger and does not need exfoliation on a day to day basis. I also mix the coffee grounds with broken down sea salt and almond oil. The scent it amazing! The effects are noticeable upon stepping out of the shower! My skin was glowing, skin tone looked more even, and i honestly felt as if it was plumper. Also because i add almond oil, the day i use the scrub i do not moisturize, i also leave the scrub application for the last step in my shower routine, and then leave my skin damp; leaving some water to be absorbed in to the oil which helps penetrate your skin more successfully, (helping your skin receive more moisture). However; I do not apply to my face as the salt is far too rough for my sensitive face (i would avoid unless the salt has been crushed very finely). I will be trying just the coffee grounds for a face scrub and comment further on the results. As of now, highly recommend this (body) scrub. Please note: Always use circular motions :)

I am sitting here with a bright red face after making a facial scrub out of coffee grounds, green coffee, agave siroup and a bit of green tea. I have used coffe egrounds befor with oils, it was always quite good, so I am not sure what went wrong today (maybe the green ingredients?) but after 5 minutes my face was itching like crazy. After about 8 minutes I washed it off and my face was covered in raised spots and red blotches :( never doing THAT again!

I add some coffee grounds, some aloe 100% vera gel, and a little bit of organic coconut oil. The coconut oil dissolves makeup, the coffee exfoliates and the aloe soothes the skin. Not drying at all and it smells great!

I haven't made my own mix but I've bought 3 different coffee scrubs from [link removed] and they work amazingly for a variety of skin issues. The biggest thing I got out of them was a decrease in discoloration > more even skin tone, and very moisturized, supple skin! They're only ~$14 and lasts at least 4 months

This stuff is awesome. First time I tried it it was a miracle. I mix it with coconut oil and sugar, like I saw in a video and it works great. I put the mask on for about 10 minutes and wipe it off. Immediately I see a difference. My skin is brighter, my sits have reduced in size an lost some redness. But make sure that your mask it fresh every time you use it. I have tried putting it in a container and using it the next day, but I do not get the same result. But still. WORKS WONDERS.

One of my favorite method. Cleanse your face first. Apply every night before going to bed. 3 tablespoon black coffee, 1-2 tablespoon water. Leave it onto your face for 15-20mins then rinse with water.

It felt great on the skin though it's a hit/miss mask. Sometimes it does well on my skin and other times it doesn't really have any effect.
