Coffee is a popular drink for many people. For some, it means a caffeine kick in the morning that lets us start the day productively. For others, coffee is a ritual where family and friends come together, exchange ideas and discuss problems and concerns. Almost every household has a filter coffee machine, but more and more people want to buy a fully automatic coffee machine.
But coffee or coffee grounds and the caffeine they contain can do much more than just taste good. It is well known that coffee and coffee grounds are true miracle cures that can be used in a variety of ways in the home and garden. For our beauty tips, however, it doesn’t matter whether you own a professional coffee machine or brew your coffee with a hand filter.
We explain to you why a peeling with coffee grounds for the face, a peeling with coffee grounds for feet and hands, a full-body peeling with coffee and a coffee grounds hair treatment or coffee grounds as lip balm should not be missing in any self-care routine.
Face mask
Coffee or coffee grounds in face masks works wonders. Because the antioxidants counteract the skin aging process. The caffeine it contains stimulates blood circulation and makes the skin look fresher and younger. The coffee grounds from the professional coffee machine act like a scrub that removes dead skin cells.
Simply mix 2 tsp coffee grounds, 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp olive oil into a mask and apply evenly to face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water.
Conditioner
The antioxidants contained in the coffee from the professional coffee machine protect against hair breakage. A coffee hair treatment restores strength and fullness to dull and fine hair. The caffeine promotes hair growth by stimulating the hair roots. But beware: coffee has a coloring effect, so this hair treatment should only be used on dark hair.
And this is how it works: Simply prepare a cup of coffee with the professional coffee machine as usual and let it cool down. Now massage this, including the coffee grounds, into the scalp and hair and wait 20 minutes. Then rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Eye mask
Anyone who has ever had a bad night’s sleep knows this: dark circles under the eyes. But if you use your coffee grounds wisely, you can quickly remedy the situation. Simply take the coffee grounds from the office coffee machine home with you, apply under your eyes and leave on for five minutes. The caffeine constricts the blood vessels and draws fluid from the swollen areas. Puffiness and dark circles are reduced. Finally, carefully remove the coffee grounds with lukewarm water.
Body scrub with coffee grounds
A body scrub with coffee can be mixed with different ingredients. For a coffee grounds scrub, simply mix a few teaspoons of coffee grounds with honey and/or oil (jojoba oil or olive oil). By applying it to the skin, dead skin cells are gently removed and at the same time cell renewal is stimulated. With regular use of a peeling with coffee grounds, the complexion is significantly improved. In addition, the peeling with coffee helps to prevent cellulite. After work, empty the office coffee machine and then do something good for yourself at home.
Hand soap
Who doesn’t know this: Even some time after cooking, your hands smell of onions, garlic and the like. Washing your hands with soap doesn’t really help. Very uncomfortable. That’s where a coffee grounds scrub comes into play. Brew yourself a coffee with the office coffee maker and enjoy while the coffee grounds cool down. Then simply rub your hands with coffee grounds and rinse off. The odors from cooking have already disappeared. People who rent a fully automatic coffee machine have the advantage of being able to quickly get a scrub made of coffee grounds at any time.
Coffee grounds scrub for feet
Our feet also need a little attention now and then. To give them a treat, make a quick coffee grounds scrub by mixing coffee with olive oil. Just like the body scrub mentioned above, the coffee grounds scrub removes dead skin cells. In addition, it reduces the annoying calluses and prevents them. Thanks to the caffeine, the blood circulation in the feet is stimulated. The olive oil ensures supple and soft skin.
Lip balm
Our lips suffer and become brittle not only in winter. Summer also takes its toll on our lips. The air is dry and salt water when bathing dry them out. That’s why they need a little maintenance every now and then. With a mixture of honey, oil and coffee grounds from the professional coffee machine, dry and chapped lips are made soft and supple.
As you can see, many beauty tips can be easily put into practice with coffee grounds and there are many possibilities for a peeling with coffee grounds. If you do not yet own a professional coffee machine and are considering renting a coffee machine, we will be happy to help you. Let our experts advise you!
