But do you guys know coffee can be an incredible ingredient for our skin and hair? We can use it in multiple different ways in our beauty rituals.
In this article, I will be sharing 6 awesome ways to incorporate coffee in our skin and hair care regimen from head to toe.
NOTE:- PLEASE DO A PATCH TEST BEFORE APPLYING ANYTHING ON YOUR SKIN TO SEE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO ANY OF THE INGREDIENTS.
BENEFITS OF COFFEE FOR OUR SKIN AND HAIR:-
1. AS A FACE SCRUB:-
Diy coffee face scrub helps in discarding dead skin cells and revealing soft and plump skin. The preparation process is very easy. We will only need two ingredients for this particular recipe.

2. AS A FACE MASK:-
Using a coffee face mask gives instant freshness to our skin. If our skin is looking dull and tired, applying a coffee-based face mask rejuvenates the skin. It is one of my all-time favourite recipes.
- In a clean bowl, take 1 tablespoon of coffee powder, 1 tablespoon of orange peel powder and 1-2 tablespoons of raw milk.
- Mix well.
- Apply this face mask on your face for 15-20 minutes, wash it off with water.

- It can be used by all skin types. Instead of raw milk, we can also use curd for this recipe.
3. AS A UNDEREYE TREATMENT:-
Waking up with dark circles around the under-eye is a common problem for most of us. Coffee can help in reducing our under-eye dark circles. We can buy coffee-infused under-eye serum or under-eye cream. Or we can simply make a diy under-eye mask to decrease the dark circles.
- Take 1 tablespoon of coffee powder, 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel and 1 teaspoon of cold-brewed green tea.
- Mix well and apply this mixture around the eye area but do it carefully and make sure that it does not go inside our eyes.

5. AS A FOOT SCRUB:-
The most neglected part of our body is our feet. So many of us face the problem of getting dry and cracked heels. We can easily get rid of it by scrubbing our feet. Scrubbing removes rough-dry and flaky skin and reveals new soft skin.
