Looking for a natural remedy for spots? In this blog you’ll find my recipe for getting clearer skin, naturally, using ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. You can even reuse your coffee grounds (zero waste bonus points ⭐️)
Here’s how to make your own coffee scrub for clear skin:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of fresh fine ground coffee (coarse ground coffee is too harsh for the skin on the face + fresh ground coffee works best, but if you have dry used grounds they will work too)
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix 1/2 cup of fresh ground coffee and 1/2 cup of brown sugar together.
- Add 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the coffee and brown sugar mixture.
- Mix well.
- Gently rub the mixture over your face – avoid areas around the eyes. Leave it on for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
⚠️ Be careful if you use the scrub in the bath or shower – the oil can make it a bit slippery.
The coffee and brown sugar work as natural exfoliators for clearer skin. Coffee is full of antioxidants which help to fight any damage caused by free radicals. Coffee scrub reduces skin inflammation, improves blood flow and makes the skin brighter and tighter.
