Coffee grounds – fantastic skin treatment
Coffee
has proven to have wonderful effects on the skin. It contains powerful
anti-oxidant agents, protecting the skin against free radicals and
reducing the risk of skin cancer.
Coffee tightens pores and removes dead
skin cells, making the skin look younger. It also displays
anti-wrinkle properties. Because of all these benefits, coffee has
become a common ingredient of numerous luxury beauty products and spa
therapies, especially anti-aging and anti-cellulite ones.
Many coffee drinkers do not realize that used coffee grounds
contain the same anti-oxidant and other beneficial compounds that are
used in luxury skincare products. Used coffee grounds and are just
too good to be wasted! They cost nothing and can improve your skin
appearance just after a single use!
However, the level of anti-oxidants in used coffee grounds depends on
the way
coffee is brewed. The best coffee grounds are those collected
at the bottom of the cup, but those left in a coffee-making machine can
also do the job. According to scientists from the University of
Navarra in Spain, plunger, filter, and espresso coffeemakers left the
highest levels of antioxidants in
coffee grounds, while mocha-style
coffee makers − the lowest.
Coffee grounds can be used for face and body peeling and for hair
treatment. Just choose your favorite recipe and enjoy your ‘new’ healthy-looking skin and shiny hair!
