How to make your skin naturally more beautiful ?

Do you dream of a skin for your baby but can't find the right cream for your skin ? Would you like to opt for skincare made with 100% natural ingredients ? Why not try coffee: besides its stimulating benefits when consumed as a drink, coffee has many properties, especially for your skin. The most interesting part of coffee and filled with interesting properties for your skin is without a doubt coffee grounds. In this article, we suggest you discover how to collect coffee grounds and how to use them in your skin depending on the desired care.

How to collect coffee grounds

Coffee grounds are a beauty essential, but they can also be used to deal with insect infestations or even to make your own 100% natural fertilizer. To collect and store your coffee grounds properly without altering their properties, you’ll need to remove the grounds from your pod or capsule, depending on the type of coffee machine you have, then follow storage guidelines to prevent them from going moldy. First, you’ll need to dehydrate them: storing them in an airtight jar is ideal for protecting them from moisture and allowing them to dry properly. If you want to dry them effectively, we recommend heating your coffee grounds in the oven at 80/90 degrees for about an hour before placing them in your airtight jar. Once you’ve used this method, you’ll be able to enjoy the many benefits of coffee grounds, which we’ll list below.

Coffee grounds to exfoliate your face

Coffee grounds are often used as a facial scrub: mixed with honey and oil, they deeply exfoliate the skin of your face, for an immediate healthy-glow effect. For the quantities, it’s up to you to choose according to your type of skin. You can also use this recipe on your body to exfoliate dead skin and the various particles that settle on your skin after a day outdoors (pollution, dust, etc.). If you don't want to make your own homemade exfoliant, note that there are very good coffee grounds exfoliants for the face and body available on the market, such as Résurgence Scrub - Cosmos Natural from Terre De Mars, an exfoliating scrub made with coffee, bamboo, Aloe Vera, and shea butter.

Coffee grounds for hair care

Coffee grounds can absolutely be used as a hair treatment, but be careful: if you choose a “homemade” recipe, make sure to use this hair treatment only if you have brown or dark hair. Mixed with shea butter or coconut oil, a coffee grounds mask will help your hair regain optimal shine. At Terre De Mars, you can try the Refillable Irrévérence Nourishing Shampoo - Cosmos Organic : this natural shampoo is made with coffee extracts, Aloe Vera, and almond protein, for regenerated, hydrated, and repaired hair from the roots.

Coffee grounds for the skin

Beyond its exfoliating properties for your skin, coffee grounds can provide real hydration to the latter, combined with other natural ingredients that are beneficial for your skin. With nourishing ingredients like almond milk or coconut milk, apply it to your skin wet before or after your shower gel, and see the result: a skin a new, soft skin awaits you.
