Are you ready to re-purpose your used coffee grounds? Do you have skin to exfoliate or cellulite to treat? Both men and women can take advantage of their leftover grounds for an at home pamper session. After you’ve enjoyed your daily Sasquatch Coffee, reuse those grounds to make yourself even more glamorous with the four coffee ground beauty solutions listed below.
1. Soften and shine hair
Before lathering up your tresses with your favorite organic shampoo, scrunch a handful of coffee grounds into wet hair. It may feel a tad strange at first—like rubbing sandy grit into your hair—but that coarse stuff is actually good for them. Once you’ve worked the grinds into your mane, rinse thoroughly. The grounds will remove any product build-up and leave your locks glossy and smooth. Beauty disclaimer: You may not want to use this method if you have bleached or light hair, as it may darken the color.
2. Treat cellulite
Cellulite got you down? Use our coffee grounds-based anti-cellulite scrub on your problem areas. Simply combine these ingredients to make this all-natural scrub:
1/2 cup brewed coffee grounds
1 tablespoon wine
1 tablespoon tincture
A few drops of ginger extract and seaweed extract
Mix in sea salt for a softer scrubThe caffeine in the coffee grinds helps improve circulation, which will remove excess water from skin and make it appear firmer. Bye-bye cellulite.
3. Exfoliate skin
Give your skin a buzz with used coffee grounds. Simply scrub the crumbly goodness all over your body for a natural exfoliant. Rubbing grounds into your skin will slough off dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling refreshed. For a smoother scrub, add a bit of olive oil to the grounds.
4. Do-it-yourself facial
No need for high-end (and high-priced) spa treatments to get your skin glowing. Indulge in a coffee grounds facial to soften the delicate skin on your face. We love this mocha-frappuccino facial mask from the blog, Crunchy Betty. Simply mix together these ingredients:
2 tablespoons freshly ground coffee (or used grinds)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons milk (whole), heavy cream or yogurt
1 tablespoon honeyMassage this chocolatey delicious mask into your skin in the morning for a quick perk up. Allow the mask to dry for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse it off thoroughly.
This delectable mask will help tighten pores and remove oil. The coffee grinds will help reduce puffiness and swelling, while the cocoa, honey and milk will add moisture to your skin.
