Can you say no to café expreso? We can’t. Fortunately, coffee makes a wonderful beauty ingredient and is wildly versatile. Whether you’re using used grounds, whole beans, or brewed café itself, coffee will do wonders for your beauty routine!
Body Scrub
Combine one cup ground coffee, one cup sugar, 1/2 cup coconut oil, and 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon (yes, this is for a big batch! You can scale the recipe down as needed). Store in an airtight container and use one to two times a week when you shower. Disfrutar as the coffee and sugar exfoliate your skin and the coconut oil leaves you silky smooth!
Face Mask
In a medium-size bowl, combine 1/2 cup ground coffee, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, one cup whole milk (or almond milk if you prefer), one tablespoon lemon juice, and one tablespoon honey. Add milk slowly, especially if you prefer a thicker face mask. Apply to skin and let dry, approximately 20 minutes. Wash off and enjoy your amazing-smelling skin! Note that any extra can be stored in the fridge for three days.
