Ways to Use Coffee for Beauty

Are you a fan of coffee? If so, you might be delighted to know it can help with your 
beauty as well. The texture of finely ground coffee beans is perfect to be used for 
exfoliating and moisturizing your skin. Take a look at these different ways you can use 
coffee for beauty.

Make Your Own Coffee Scrub

Coffee is the perfect consistency to use as a scrub for your skin once it has been 
ground up. You want to use freshly ground coffee, making sure it is ground finely. Do 
not use instant coffee for this! Take your coffee grounds, and add some coconut oil and 
your preferred type of coarse sugar. Both white and brown sugar work well for the 
scrub. You can then add in a little bit of oil like jojoba oil with some essential oils. Vanilla 
is good to use with the coffee scrub. This is best when used on your body in the shower, 
as it will go down the drain without clogging it. 

Reduce Your Puffy Eyes

Another beauty option you have for using coffee is to reduce the puffiness of your tired 
eyes. Coffee doesn’t just perk up your mind anymore! To use coffee on your puffy eyes, 
you first need to brew a fresh cup or pot of coffee, and set it aside to cool. You are not 
using the coffee, but the coffee grounds itself that have been brewed, so use a regular 
coffee maker and not a Keurig. Take the coffee grounds once they have cooled and 
apply them directly to your puffy eyes, being careful to avoid your eyes and only touch 
the skin around them. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

Remove Scalp Buildup

If you have buildup on your scalp, the coarseness of coffee can help a lot with 
exfoliating it. It removes dead skin cells and any buildup from your hair styling products 
or leave-in conditioner. Just grab your freshly ground coffee and apply a handful to your 
scalp after your hair has been wet. Rub it onto your scalp just like you would any 
shampoo, leave it for about a minute, and rinse off. You can then use your regular 
shampoo and conditioner to make sure all the coffee is cleaned from your hair and 
scalp.

Use it on Your Feet

Lastly, you can exfoliate your feet with the coffee. Use an organic brand of coffee to get 
some extra antioxidants and create a scrub with the coffee grounds and some coconut 
oil. This will remove dead skin cells and leave behind soft feet that are ready for your 
summer sandals.
