Green beauty treatment: you only need two natural ingredients to get spa-worthy results
Beauty treatments are a pampering that we all love to indulge in whenever possible. But these treatments can be very expensive. As a result, we may forego going to a beauty salon frequently. Then, there are cases in which the beauty products we purchased do not work as well as we hoped (or we find we are allergic to them).
Among the most common ways to take care of one's skin is exfoliation, which has many benefits. So, what about the possibility of preparing a super-effective scrub at home, using only two natural ingredients? It could be the green alternative you've been looking for. Read on to find out more:
Creativo
We are talking about a very popular remedy, which can be customized according to your needs and tastes. In fact, it is a question of preparing a product using only two ingredients that we most likely already have in the kitchen: coffee grounds and olive oil.
Coffee grounds, due to their consistency and granular nature, are perfect to use as an exfoliating element. It is preferable to use those that you have already dried out in the open air (so that they have not developed any mold, as often happens when the grounds dry out in closed containers) - but in a pinch, you can also use those that are still a little damp .
Oil, on the other hand, is a moisturizing and nourishing element for the skin. Olive oil is used in many skin products, but if you don't want to use this, sweet almond oil is also acceptable. Coconut oil can also be used (once melted), unless it is comedogenic for you, i.e. capable of promoting the appearance of skin imperfections.
How to prepare the scrub
Take a bowl, and put three spoonfuls of coffee grounds into it. Then add two tablespoons of oil. If you want, you can also add a teaspoon of raw cane sugar (which is not finely ground). Mix all these ingredients together and you will get a slightly greasy product, to be rubbed gently on your skin. Then rinse everything off and you will find that your skin is much softer and smoother.
If you use dry coffee grounds, they won't have a strong smell. That said, you could also add a few drops of an essential oil you like to the mixture.
Without spending much at all, you will always have great skin treatment to hand!
