Coffee scrub
All women of the world, of any age and nationality dream of preserving their natural beauty and youth as long as possible. Someone is more fortunate (genetics, living conditions, etc.), someone less (not everyone has enough finance to use the services of a cosmetologist). But what about those who simply do not have the opportunity to contact specialists? Everything is very simple. The best care is natural products. The most interesting is that most of them can be found in every hostess in the kitchen. For example, coffee, from which you can make a scrub and treat yourself to its wonderful properties.
Properties
The composition of the grains includes not only caffeine, as we used to think, but also a huge amount of useful elements and acids for both the whole organism and the epidermis:
- Fruit and organic acids, they play an important role in the "alkalization of the body." After oxidation, they saturate the body with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20).
- Fats provide long evaporation of moisture.
- Alkaloids, complex organic compounds saturated with plenty of nitrogen, which allows the surface to "shine".
- Iron. There is less iron in the female body than in the male body. This is due to a large loss of blood during menstruation, pregnancy and the period of feeding the baby. It is the lack of iron in the body gives a pale and dull complexion, with which most women are forced to fight.
- Potassium and magnesium, the main natural fighters with aging. The use of a sufficient amount of minerals will give elasticity, which means wrinkles will appear much later.
- Caffeine. It is about him that we remember with the word coffee. It is useful in that it perfectly tones, improves circulation, and also breaks down fat and helps get rid of puffiness.
The effectiveness of the procedure
Ground seeds are an excellent solution for peeling at home. They gently remove the coarsened part of the epithelium, relieve internal contamination and slag.
Constant peeling of ground coffee beans will save gray color from the skin during the cold season and will give a natural glow.
In cosmetology, this tool is recognized as the most "rejuvenating", provided that it will be made only from a natural product, without various additives. A soluble or other substitute does not fit, it not only does not benefit the body, but also adds a destructive effect.
It is worth noting that in addition to helping in aesthetics, it will reduce the risk of the formation of cancer cells, protect it from excessive exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation, and make the skin soft and velvety. Due to the natural dye, it will get a healthy look.
Indications and Contraindications
There is no product that is equally useful for everyone. Coffee beans are no exception. Before trying out a scrub using grains, carefully study not only the indications, but also contraindications of this method.
Eliminate scrub using coffee if:
- You are intolerant of this product and allergic to it in any form. If you did not notice your reaction to this organism, calmly make a scrub. If you are in doubt or are afraid of negative side effects, apply the scrub on the wrist area, rinse with running water after 2-3 minutes. Wait 10 minutes. Any redness? So, an allergic reaction does not threaten you.
- If you have a skin disease, it’s best to go to a dermatologist than take the risk. Beauty is beauty, but health is more important.
- There is a type in which any scrubs are not recommended. Too thin and delicate layer will be badly damaged. In this case, it is worth consulting with a beautician.
If you follow all instructions for contraindications, as well as consult with experts, it will not do you any harm.
Use a coffee scrub if:
- Your skin has lost its elasticity. It is worth remembering that scrubs and masks are not a surgical operation. The effect will certainly be, but to see significant changes once will not be enough. Include it in your skin care diet, but do not overdo it. Too frequent use of scrub can also adversely affect health and appearance.
- An excellent remedy for rejuvenation, it will be for mature skin and wrinkles. Antioxidants will become your best friends.
- To return a healthy shade and look after the winter, use it no more than twice a week. An organism that has lost vitamins in cold weather will be grateful to you and the result will not take long. The skin will get a matte shade and shimmering look.
Rules of application
If you follow these instructions when making homemade coffee scrub, the effect will be several times stronger.
The first and most important point is the correctly selected coffee. Note the following:
- Coffee must be roasted
- Green or any other coffee will not work, only black.
- Pay attention to the grinding of grains. The less grinding, the more gentle the scrub will clean the skin. Large grinding, on the contrary, can hurt.
- Coffee should be only natural, additives will trigger the occurrence of allergic reactions.
Perfectly fit the coffee grounds. After drinking this drink, easily make a scrub from the remnants. Take into account, coffee should be sugar free, and the thick one itself should definitely cool down.
Do not forget that applying any mask or scrub is done only on previously cleansed skin!
Coffee will be a great helper not only for the skin of the face, but also for the skin of the neck, hands, neckline and any coarsened body parts.
When applying, do not rub mass with all your strength; movements should be smooth and circular.
Rinse off with water at room temperature. It is best to use drinking water rather than running water, as it contains a lot of bleach. It will further dry the skin and certainly will not bring any benefit.
Adopt what a great effect will be after taking a bath. You can also pre-steam the skin over the steam.
Use one recipe several times, do not rush to try everything at once.

Reviews
As for these recipes, having tested for the first time the girls instantly feel the effect on themselves. Both at home and in the cosmetology office. Most pay attention to the fact that the components - there is nowhere easier. Some return to the salon for this procedure, and some decide not to overpay and continue to monitor their skin at home.
Most of those who neglect the care of a person begin to take care of themselves. With regret, coffee scrubs are not recommended to those for whom these procedures are for some reason not recommended.
Nowadays, it’s customary to trust more skin care products. But what could be better than natural products enriched with natural vitamins and minerals? Do not neglect recipes from foods that we eat. No wonder our mothers and grandmothers used natural cosmetics and always remained rosy. Because even the most expensive cream or scrub with chemistry will not replace the natural product that mother nature gave us.
