Everybody aims to have flawless skin. But not everybody can have that naturally. It would be wonderful to be able to have great skin, while indulging in some things that you really like. For example coffee. Many coffee addicts would wish that nature’s pick-me-up would help them have great skin. But you will not get this by drinking a lot of caffeine. Instead you will have to make coffee facial masks and scrubs out of it.
Coffee facial masks are quite simple and effective in their work on your skin. Coffee is great exfoliator and helps get rid of rough and dead skin. The granules gently scrub your skin clean and make your skin baby soft. An added advantage for coffee enthusiasts is that the aroma of coffee stays on your skin much after you have taken off the mask.
As with any other masks there are certain things that you have to keep in mind for coffee facial masks. Use the mask as soon as you make it. If you have excess you can store it in an appropriate container and in the fridge. This can last you for up to a week. Ideally use a mask once a month. Once you are done with your coffee facial mask rinse your face with plain lukewarm water. Tone your skin after the mask. And then finish off the process with a moisturizer suited to your skin type.
One type of coffee facial mask goes thus – get yourself three tablespoons of finely ground used coffee beans. Mix these beans gradually with milk till you get a creamy consistency. Do this slowly so that you don’t end up with a liquid that will not stay on your face. Apply this paste to your face and neck and as will all other masks avoid the areas around your eyes. Make sure that you massage this mixture well into your skin. Sit back and relax for around 20 minutes.
Wash your face with lukewarm water and as you are doing so massage the mask into your face. This acts as an additional exfoliator. After a coffee facial mask, never scrub your skin dry, instead pat it gently. Use a moisturizer when your skin is damp so that it absorbs the cream in well.
Another great coffee facial is made by combining ground coffee seeds, sea salt and an egg white. Mix this up well. Before you apply the mask, wash your face with lukewarm water. Apply the mask and as mentioned earlier avoid the area around your eyes and don’t go too close to your hairline. Gently massage this coffee facial mask cum scrub into your face. Let it dry for around 20 minutes and wash it off. Pat your skin dry and apply a suitable moisturizer.
A great variation on the coffee facial mask is the addition of sour cream. You can use any market bought sour cream but just ensure that it is at room temperature when you use it. Mix in a portion of coarsely ground coffee beans and apply this to your face. Leave it on for half hour and then rinse off. Apply a moisturizer immediately to seal in the freshness.
