“Without coffee something’s missing”
– Al Pacino
…that’s how I feel when it comes to DIY face masks and scrubs!
There’s something so wonderful about coffee, isn’t it?!
There are days when I cannot live without it, but what I never knew until recently is how good coffee was for your skin. Did you know that coffee is highly raved about in the beauty industry for all its beauty benefits…be that in a mask-form or as a scrub.
So today we are talking about a DIY Coffee + Honey Mask and Scrub. Not only does it smell wonderful, this coffee mask + scrub is also loaded with anti-oxidants that fight against free radical damage.
Whatever your area of concern – be that puffy eyes, dull skin, inflamed skin, redness or a patchy tan – this scrub will fix it all!
So let’s see what you will need to make this Coffee + Honey Mask and Scrub
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon finely ground coffee

Instructions
- Take a small bowl and mix the ground coffee and the honey together.
- Apply the mixture to your face and neck, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
- Then gently scrub your face and neck in circular motions using your fingers.
- Avoid going too close to your eyes. Personally I scrub my lips using the same mixture and it exfoliates my lips as well as moisturises them.
