With the onset of summer, tanning is one of the biggest concerns which creeps into our lives. The scorching sun and sweat make the skin look dull and lifeless. It often leads to pimples and dryness. One of the essential steps in such a situation is exfoliation – a process of removing dead cells from the skin. Face Scrubs are a popular choice for exfoliation, offering gentle yet effective methods to achieve smooth skin. You can prepare the scrubs at home with the help of coffee powder.
Coffee powder is considered miraculous for the face, which is exposed to pollution and sun. Caffeine and various compounds in coffee have a diuretic effect, which is beneficial for the swollen tissues around the eyes when applied topically. Here are some homemade coffee scrubs that you can add to your summer skincare routine:
Coffee Scrub with Turmeric
To prepare the coffee scrub at home, first roast turmeric. After this, mix coffee with roasted turmeric and scrub your face with it. To scrub, add water to it and rub the paste with light hands. Rub gently for three to five minutes. After this, wash your face with water and apply any serum of your choice.
Multani Mitti with Coffee
You can also make the coffee scrub with Multani Mitti. It is an effective home remedy for pimples or acne as well as the marks left by healed acne. Take one spoonful of coffee powder in a bowl and mix Multani Mitti in it. You can also add a little curd to it. Mix everything well and rub this paste gently for three to five minutes. After this, wash your face with clean water and apply any serum of your choice.
Coffee and Aloe Vera Gel Scrub
You can also mix aloe vera gel in coffee. Aloe vera gel is considered beneficial for the skin and coffee is a great thing for scrub. It removes your dead cells and increases blood circulation, which makes your skin glow. Whereas aloe vera gel works as moisture in your skin. You can also use cucumber with aloe vera to prepare a scrub. Cucumber is known for its cooling and soothing properties, making it perfect for calming sun-exposed skin during the summer.
