How to make a simple coffee face mask:

The ingredients you will need are basic and common in any kitchen. Grab a container in which to mix everything, like a cup; a spoon; a little water; and what remains after making your morning coffee.

If you have an American style coffee machine, use the coffee grinds in the filter; if you have an Italian style machine, just unscrew and remove the debris left between the parts of the cafetiere. In short, you do not need to use brand new coffee beans. This is a great way to reuse, recycle and have a more sustainable coffee habit.

  1. Mix the leftover ground coffee beans with water. Remember that there must be more coffee than water, because the result has to be a rather close texture to a cream or a paste than a liquid. Some recipes change the water for milk for more hydration.
  2. Once you have the mixture, apply it on the skin of the face, being careful not to get in your eyes.
  3. Leave it on for 15 minutes.
  4. After this time has passed, remove it with water and you will notice an immediate effect.
