The wonders of coffee are not just restricted to motivate your system. This aromatic ingredient in your kitchen cabinet also works as an awesome beauty recipe to treat your under eye area. Make a paste of the grounded coffee, and apply it to the under eye area and eyelids. Apart from providing you relief, the pack would also reduce swelling of tissues around your eyes. It would also lighten the under eye skin. Combination of caffeine and antioxidants in coffee shrink the blood vessels lying under the skin. It also removes excess water from your dermis by acting as a diuretic.
#2. Exfoliating scrub
We all know that aromatic coffee can always rev up a party. But, many of us do not know that it can work its magic on our skin too. Coffee can act as an excellent scrub that can exfoliate our skin and eliminate cellulite to bring out a cleaner complexion. Unlike fancy exfoliators, it is effective without being harsh on skin. Coffee beans contain high amount of chlorogenic acid, which boosts collagen production, hence works as a great skin stimulant. You can mix coconut oil or olive oil with the coffee powder, until it has a paste-like consistency. You can then gently scrub your face, cellulite prone areas or your entire body.
