Lucknow: Coffee has been in use for centuries due to its medicinal properties. It is one of the most popular drinks in the world. But do you know that these magical beans not only cure your body in many ways but could also enhance your beauty. Yes, the easily available and cheap coffee grounds can do wonders to your skin, hair and lips.

Read these methods to create your own inexpensive yet effective beauty product with coffee grounds:

Brighten skin

To deep clean your pores and remove dead skin, coffee grounds and olive oil can do miracles.

Take the two in equal ratio to form a paste. Massage this paste onto your face for few seconds than clean it with a wet washcloth. Dab your face with a clean towel to pat remaining olive oil into the skin to maintain it’s moisture.

Fight off cellulite

Cellulite occurs when fat underneath your skin starts to put stress on your connective tissues and bulges out, giving the skin dimply and wiggly appearance. To give your skin more smooth and toned look, try coffee powder with coconut oil. Coconut oil gets easily absorbed by your body and break downs the fat stored underneath your skin.

Make a thick mixture by adding both the main ingredients in a bowl and rub it in a circular motion for 5-10mins then take the bath. Use it before going to take bath to get rid of that dimply skin.

Cure under-eye puffiness

Dark-circles and under-eye-puffiness could be a result of less sleep, superficial blood vessels, genetics etc. To make your eyes look livelier and puffiness free follow this remedy on regular basis.

Freeze coffee beans with some water in ice-tray. Apply this ice cube near your eyes. The anti-inflammatory properties in caffeine and the cooling effect of ice magically constrict the blood vessels, resulting in reduced under-eye swelling.

Baby lips

Summer and winter’s extreme weather can leave you with chapped and dried lips. To get that magical smile back apply coffee powder with honey.

Take ½ teaspoon coffee powder and mix ½ teaspoon honey to it. Apply this mixture every night or before applying lipstick. Coffee granules rub off the dead skin and honey moistens your lips.

For thicker and shinier hair

Regular use of chemical rich shampoo, conditioner and other hair-product’s build up on your scalp can lead to skin irritation and hair-fall. To remove such chemical build up one can go organic in their approach to regain shiny and healthy hair.

Apply cooled brewed coffee grounds onto your scalp with your finger tips for 1 minute. Leave it for one more minute than rinse it with cool water. You will notice your locks have become shinier and the increased hair growth is due to the stimulating effects of caffeine.
