You probably even have these 2 simple ingredients sitting in your cupboards right now

Coffee for Skin Care

Recently, cosmetic manufacturers started putting coffee extract in many of their formulas. And for good reason!

Coffee is a rich source of antioxidants that protects our skin against free radicals that damage and age us. The caffeine in coffee stimulates the skin and improves blood flow to the face, which is perfect for healthy cell turnover that makes us look radiant and bright.

Another really cool benefit of coffee applied to the skin is that it increases the production of collagen and elastin. The caffeine in coffee minimizes fine lines and protects against the loss of moisture, making it the ideal choice for anti-aging.

And if you have sun burned or sun damaged skin, you’ll be really happy to know that coffee helps reverse the damage of UV rays! So definitely make sure to slather this on if you happen to get too much sun or if you have sun damaged skin. It will help restore your skin from damage!

Just an FYI — You’ll want to use THESE coffee beans.

Coconut Oil for Skin Care

You already know how much I love my coconut oil for the skin. I use coconut oil for allthethings, but I especially enjoy using it for skincare.

One of the best things about using coconut oil for skincare is that it suits all skin types. So whether you have dry, oily, acne prone, aging or sensitive skin, coconut oil can greatly benefit you.

It’s deeply nourishing to the skin and loaded with protective antioxidants that protect the skin against premature aging and free radicals.

It’s also antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-fungal, making it a great choice for acne prone skin.

To get the most bang for your buck and the best results, look for THIS coconut oil. You can find cold pressed, unrefined coconut oil in most grocery and health food stores.

So whip up a batch of this easy, inexpensive homemade coffee scrub and mask using the recipe below and see for yourself why I’m such a raving fan of it! I think you’re going to love it just as much as me!

Do you do something weird like rubbing something all over your face before a date (or something important), too? Or maybe you have another funny ritual? I’d love to hear about it! Leave me a comment and let me know so I know I’m not the only weirdo who does these things
