Coffee Scrub Benefits: Using coffee scrubs is one of the most effective and simple ways to achieve healthy and glowing skin at home. Coffee scrub has excellent exfoliating properties. As we all know coffee has become quite popular in the skin care industry, especially for scrubs or exfoliators and under-eye care. The coarse granules of coffee help slough away the dead skin cells and help increase blood flow and circulation through the skin. Apart from that, coffee scrub is also effective in removing tan due to its exfoliating and antioxidant properties.  

Dr Blossom Kochhar - Chairperson of Blossom Kochhar group of companies and beauty and wellness expert listed some incredible benefits of coffee scrub and some DIY methods to make your coffee scrub at home for oily and dry skin. 

Benefits Of Coffee Scrub

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is one of the important steps in the process of achieving glowing skin. I believe it is very important to exfoliate your skin at least once a week. It helps in removing dead skin cells and improves the skin texture. Regular exfoliation with a coffee scrub can prevent the build-up of dead skin cells, making the skin smooth and looking radiant. 

Enhances Blood Circulation

Caffeine is the active ingredient in coffee which helps improve the blood flow. Improved blood flow helps supply oxygen and other nutrients to the skin. It promotes improved appearance and radiant skin. Enhanced circulation can also aid in the removal of toxins from the skin, clearer and healthier appearance.

Reduces Cellulite

Introducing coffee scrub in your beauty routine also helps to reduce cellulite. As the caffeine in the coffee helps dilate blood vessels, it improves the skin texture and provides smoothness to the skin. 

Promotes Youthful Skin

Coffee scrub helps in skin tightening and promotes youthful skin. Exfoliating your skin with a coffee scrub improves blood circulation which imparts healthy, radiant, and glowing skin.

Rich in Antioxidants

Coffee is packed with antioxidants, therefore using a coffee scrub can help maintain a youthful appearance. The antioxidants in coffee also help to neutralise free radicals that can accelerate the ageing process by breaking down collagen and elastin. It also helps in reducing visible signs of ageing.

DIY Coffee Scrubs

If you have dry skin, in a bowl mix coffee powder with 1 tablespoon of yoghurt. Mix them well until a smooth paste is formed. Apply this mixture to your entire face and neck. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and in a gentle circular motion exfoliate your skin. Rinse it off with warm water.
This helps in removing dead skin cells, brightening your skin and making it soft and supple. Yoghurt helps keep the skin nourished and prevents your skin from getting dry.

For oily skin, mix finely ground coffee powder and fuller’s earth with olive oil. Apply the mixture to your face and neck. Leave it on for about 15 minutes. Exfoliate your skin gently in a circular motion and rinse off the remaining with water.
