10 Unique Ways to Add Coffee to Your Beauty Routine ...

Coffee isn’t just for getting us through those rough Monday mornings anymore. Who knew that this magical bean could also revolutionize our beauty routines? I mean, around 2024, we should expect our beauty game to be as on point as our morning brew, don't you think? Trust me, these 10 unique ways to incorporate coffee into your beauty regimen will save you time, money, and might even fool the world into thinking you've had a full 8 hours of sleep (ha, we wish!).

First off, let's dive into the world of coffee scrubs. These little jars of joy exfoliate so well, you might ditch your regular scrub in no time. I’ve personally witnessed the transformation – my skin went from dull to dazzling with just a few uses. You’ll even learn here how to make your DIY Coffee Scrub right in your kitchen.

Then, there’s the under-eye treatment. Gen Z might call it "eye baggage," but the rest of us call it just another rough Monday. That’s where the magic of coffee-infused eye creams comes in. Caffeine can brighten up those panda-like dark circles by increasing blood circulation. You can thank me later when people notice how ‘awake’ you look!

One of my absolute favorite ways to include coffee is creating a coffee hair mask. Yep, you heard that right. Say goodbye to your regular hair treatments and hello to the voluminous and shiny locks that will have people questioning your secret. Spoiler alert – it’s all in the brew.

Another gem is the coffee bath. Ever heard of something so luxurious it almost sounds royal? Soaking in a coffee-infused bath can detoxify and renew your skin, making you feel like Cleopatra. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

We’ll also talk about the brilliance of lip scrubs using coffee grounds. Goodbye to chapped lips and hello to soft, kissable pouts! If you're looking for the perfect pout, then you'll want to check out Coffee Lip Scrub Recipe.

Fancy a natural tanning lotion? Coffee can give you that sun-kissed glow without harming your skin. Yup, there's a reason why the phrase "Java Glow" is becoming more popular.

Last but not least, we’ll touch on some unconventional techniques that’ll have you creating your own Coffee-Inspired Beauty Hacks you never knew existed. Get ready to be wowed!

So grab your favorite mug – because coffee is about to become the ultimate multi-tasker in your beauty routine.

1. Use Coffee to Soothe Your Skin after Too Much Sun

Coffee has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it a good bet for soothing sun exposure. The antioxidants help counteract free radical damage, which can help slash your risk of skin cancer. Look for after-sun lotion that contains coffee and apply it post sunshine. You can also dilute brewed coffee in water, soak a washcloth in the solution and then apply it directly to your skin.

2. Coffee Makes a Great Skin Scrub

Regular exfoliation is a good way to slough off dead skin cells and leave your entire body looking fresh and young. Experts say that you should exfoliate at least once a week, and coffee is the perfect ingredient for getting the job done right. The caffeine helps plump your skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite. Combine coffee grounds with sugar and coconut oil and gently massage it over your body before rinsing.

3. Get Rid of Bags under Your Eyes

The caffeine in coffee constricts blood vessels. When you apply it under your eyes, it can help reduce puffiness and dark circles. Many eye creams contain coffee so it’s not hard to find something that works for you. You can also soak cotton makeup rounds in cold coffee and place them over closed eyes for about 10 minutes to get the same results.

4. Give Your Hair Color a Boost

If you don’t like harsh chemicals on your body and in your hair, coffee is a natural choice for giving you a great brown color. Apply cooled brewed coffee to your strands and cover your head with a shower cap. Allow the color to soak in for about 30 minutes before rinsing. This method isn’t permanent, but it’s fast and easy to keep up with so you never have to worry about your roots showing.

5. While You’re at It, Give Your Hair Some Volume

Coffee gives your hair an awesome color, but it also stimulates growth at the roots, which increases volume and gives you lush hair you can be proud to show off. You can easily get the results you want by adding coffee grounds to your conditioner once a week or so. You might also want to try a conditioner that is infused with coffee so that you don’t have to do all the hard work.

6. Give Your Skin a Great Glow

Glowing skin is beautiful and it’s something all us ladies want, right? Turns out your coffee can get the job done with ease. As it works to exfoliate your face, it produces that youthful radiance you crave so much. To get it, combine coffee grounds with cocoa powder, honey and milk. Apply the mixture to your face, gently massaging it in. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Or, try a coffee infused mask from the drugstore for similar results.

7. A Coffee Foot Scrub is the Perfect Way to End the Day

After a long hard day, a bit of relaxing is just what the doctor ordered. You can do this by soaking your feet in a mixture of coffee and coconut oil. The combination of ingredients soothes your skin and helps hydrate your feet so they are soft and smooth when you hit the sack. As you soak your feet in warm water, gently massage the coffee and coconut oil mixture into each of your feet, then rinse.

8. Increase Circulation

Freeze coffee into ice cubes and use around your eyes and face to boost circulation. This reduces puffiness and increases blood flow to your face giving you a healthy glow. I'm sure it works on other areas too such as cellulite. :)

9. Protect Your Body inside and out

What's better than rubbing coffee all over your body? Drinking it! A cup of joe has antioxidants that prevent premature aging, free radical, and pollution damage to your skin.

10. Cleanse

Whether it's removing the smell of onions or garlic long after cooking, or cleansing your nasal passages of smells when testing perfume, coffee is your fix. Scrub your hands with grounds and rinse to remove smells from hands. Sniff coffee grounds in between perfume scents to stop nasal confusion and decide what's best.
