Facial scrub: recipe for coffee with honey
A scrub based on honey and coffee not only removes the stratum corneum of dead cells from the face, but also nourishes the skin with the valuable trace elements of honey. Caffeine gives tone to the skin, increases blood circulation, which leads to the smoothing of fine wrinkles. Honey helps prevent the development of bacteria, and therefore minimizes the risk of new acne and inflammation.
To prepare this scrub you will need:
- 2 teaspoons coffee;
- 1-2 teaspoons of honey.
How to prepare : combine all ingredients and mix until smooth, apply to dry face, rinse with cool water after 15 minutes.
The course of masks should be repeated several times a week for a month. If your skin is oily, you can add one crushed aspirin tablet to the scrub and dilute the mixture with warm water.
For dry skin, the same scrub recipe is suitable, but with the addition of olive or sunflower oil (1 tbsp.).
Why don't coffee masks help?
Very often situations arise when masks do not work. The reason for this may lie in the type of coffee itself. We don't need a soluble product. The whole point is that when preparing homemade masks, you should buy only natural coffee. However, it should not contain various flavorings and additives.
It is also important to pay special attention to the grinding of the product; it should be medium or fine. This is the only way to ensure that a home-made product will bring maximum effect.
Honey and coffee for the face in a bath will bring effective and quick amazing results if you follow all the rules and recommendations during the procedures.
