Coffee is a familiar beverage. If you often make coffee at home, remember to keep the grounds. They will be very helpful in taking care of your body. Coffee has a pleasant aroma, so just using it for bathing can help you relax.
Here are some great ways to make use of coffee grounds.
Use coffee for bathing and exfoliating
When you massage coffee on your skin, you will notice a light fragrance. The scent of coffee is soothing and relaxing for coffee lovers. Moreover, massaging with coffee grounds helps exfoliate dead skin cells thanks to the rubbing between the coffee grounds crystals and the skin. You can mix them with bath milk and then massage, or just wet them and massage on your skin. You can also mix them with a little salt, brown sugar, or some types of bath herbs like persimmon leaves, betel leaves…
Use coffee for skin whitening
Although the coffee grounds have been filtered for drinking, they still contain nutrients that nourish the skin and stimulate the production of new cells. You can mix coffee with unsweetened yogurt and apply it as a mask for about 20 minutes, then rinse with clean water. You can also use coffee grounds to massage and exfoliate the skin, which helps make the skin brighter.
Use coffee grounds to reduce dark circles
Coffee grounds still contain caffeine, which helps stimulate blood circulation and reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. The area around the eyes is mainly affected by poor blood circulation. You can wet the coffee grounds and mix them with unsweetened yogurt or honey, then place them on and gently massage the eye area. You should perform gentle movements to avoid strong impact. Leave them on for about 20 minutes and you will feel more comfortable. When applying, remember to close your eyes to avoid coffee grounds getting into your eyes. You can keep them in the refrigerator so that the coolness helps tighten the pores even more.
Whiten the whole body and treat rough orange peel skin
Rough orange peel skin is a condition where the skin appears rough and bumpy, often found on the thighs, usually caused by obesity. Massaging the affected area with coffee grounds can help reduce this condition and make the skin smoother.
Use coffee grounds to make hair smoother and darker
Coffee grounds are also a good nourishing agent for hair. Wet the coffee grounds and mix them with hair, then massage and leave it on. To enhance the effectiveness, add a little ripe avocado or egg. Then leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse off.
Eliminate body odor
Coffee grounds have a pleasant smell. Coffee essential oil can overpower body odor. You can put dried coffee grounds in the shoes to absorb the odor. Taking a coffee bath daily helps you smell better.
If you have leftover coffee grounds after brewing and don’t use them immediately, you can keep them in the refrigerator. They can also help absorb odors in the fridge and then be used gradually. However, if your refrigerator contains many fresh items and there is a risk of bacterial contamination, be careful to avoid inflammation when applying them on your skin.
