Are you tired of shelling out large amounts of money for exfoliants you find in drugstores? This DIY facial mask is quick, cheap, and makes a great addition to any spa day at home. By reusing coffee grounds, you'll feel resourceful and look great doing it.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp of used coffee grounds
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of honey
- 1 tsp of brown sugar
- 1 egg
Steps
- Crack the egg in a bowl, then add each remaining ingredient.
- Use a whisk or fork to combine the ingredients. Combine until the mixture is thick and creamy. This mixture will serve as your mask.
- Spread the mask evenly over your face. If necessary, use a headband to keep your hair out of the way. Take care not to get the mask into your eyes or mouth.
- Wait 10 minutes. The mask should harden during that time.
- Rinse off the mask. For best results, use a warm washcloth and water.
Tips
- Always make sure that you drink plenty of water as well and remember you're not the only one suffering with nasty spots!
- Use only warm water to rinse off the face mask.
- Use lime juice a little on the face as citric acid helps.
- Apply a small amount lotion afterward for extra-smooth skin.
- Avoid using facial masks more than twice weekly.
- Only exfoliate twice a week or as instructed by a doctor. When you exfoliate too much, you cause more breakouts and irritation. And no one wants that.
- Never put lotion on your face. It clogs your pores and will give you even more pimples than before.
Warnings
- Test the temperature of your washcloth before applying it to your face. A hot washcloth could accidentally scald you.
Things You'll Need
- 1 bowl
- 1 whisk or fork

- 1 washcloth
