-Mix coffee grounds & ex. virgin olive oil
Then massage into the skin; body, face, or both. It's really a double bonus because not only does it exfoliate well but the olive oil keeps the skin moisturized & its incredibly smooth afterwards.
Another version is adding cinnamon & brown sugar to the mix, which smells amazing!
Another extra bonus of using coffee grounds is that its suppose to help with cellulite, the caffeine helps redistribute the fat cells. Also varicose veins can be diminished due to the caffeine acting as a vascular constrictor shrinking the blood vessels.
You would want to wash off your makeup first just like with any other exfoliator. Your skin will feel very smooth after because the dead skin will be gone but a thin layer of oil stays on the skin because as you know water doesn't remove oil. If this bothers you, you can take some of your usual facial cleanser & lightly wash it again.
I recommend it if you're running a little low on the cash or just want to get away from all the additives in products. I have a few more at home 'recipes' for skin care that i'll share in a later post. But for now enjoy!
Let me know if you have any at home exfoliants!
