4. Coffee
Coffee is another ingredient that can do wonders if added to the simple sugar scrub recipe we’ve mentioned above. The ingredients in coffee are revitalizing for the skin, and used moderately it can act as an all-natural, chemical face-lift. It works in exactly the way you would imagine: The caffeine contained in the coffee “perks up” the skin, and applied to areas such as under the eyes, it can make you appear refreshed when you are in need of a very quick pick-me-up to look fresh.
Coffee doesn’t just make your skin appear refreshed, it can also have other benefits – including getting rid of stretch marks. You can choose whichever coffee you like, though remember that you’re after the caffeine contained in the coffee, so don’t pick decaf – and make sure you buy real coffee made from coffee beans, or grind the beans yourself. Chicory, while great as a drink, won’t do the trick for this method.
