Here is the DIY to make scrubs;
Coffee Scrub
The caffeine in coffee improves blood circulation and stimulates the skin to add radiance and youthfulness. What’s more, it also contains antioxidants, protects against UV damage, and prevents moisture loss.
Coffee can also be used to depuff your eyes. “Make a paste of coffee grounds, and coffee liquid, and dab it around the eyes gently. Leave it for a few minutes and gently wash it off. This increases the circulation under the eyes and dilates the blood vessels reducing fluid retention under the eyes. You can use coffee ice cubes also,” shares Dr. Rinky Kapoor, Cosmetic Dermatologist, and Dermato-surgeon.
Mix three teaspoons of freshly ground coffee along with half a cup of yogurt.
If you have dry skin, replace the yogurt with full-fat milk.
Blend in a mixer and leave aside for five minutes.
Once the mixture thickens, add one teaspoon of honey and mix well.
Apply this mixture to the face and scrub in upward circular movements for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Wash off with cold water. Use this scrub twice a week for the best results.
