6 Beauty Benefits Of Using Homemade Coffee Scrub

I love to use coffee scrubs. Coffee scrubs are amazing to use both for our face and body. They have amazing skin benefits and can be easily made at home. From reducing cellulite, acne break outs and stretch marks to exfoliating dead skin, it does have lot of skin benefits. Coffee sugar scrub, coffee coconut oil scrub and coffee honey scrub recipes are some of my favorite coffee scrubs.

Coffee scrub is nothing but coffee grounds that is mixed along with a liquid and other skin care ingredients. Coffee scrubs can be made with instant coffee, freshly ground coffee beans and also with used coffee grounds too. The liquid used is usually hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, honey, milk, almond oil, olive oil, etc. Other additions like brown sugar, fine salt, cinnamon, vanilla, etc are also added to make the coffee scrubs.

# For Acne & Acne Scars

Coffee has anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties and using it as a scrub will greatly help prevent acne breakouts along with fading acne scars. But if you are suffering from acne breakouts, I would suggest being very gentle while using a coffee scrub and also try using very fine coffee grounds for the scrub.
