Olive oil breaks down any water-resistant substances in makeup, allowing them to be wiped away more easily. It's effectiveness and gentle nature makes it an excellent make up remover for people struggling with harsher commercially available make up removers.

To remove makeup, just add a few drops of olive oil to a cotton ball and gently wipe your face. Wash with a gentle cleanser to remove the oil residue and continue with your skincare routine as normal.

Coffee

Coffee is a multipurpose product that can potentially offer a variety of skincare benefits.

By adding coffee in any form to your routine you can reap these benefits although it has been proven that it is best used topically as a scrub made from fresh ground coffee beans.

So instead of tossing out your coffee grounds, add them to your skincare routine. Because coffee grounds don’t dissolve in water, they won’t just melt away with a slight spray from your shower head—meaning they’re super effective at sloughing away dead skin cells, boosting circulation, and reducing the appearance of cellulite. 

!ALWAYS TAKE CARE IN USING HARSH SCRUBS ON YOUR FACE!

It’s always a good idea to check with your dermatologist if you’re not seeing the desired results from your current skincare routine before making a change. Be sure to give any new skin treatment at least a few weeks before moving on to another treatment.

Coffee

- Reduced Inflammation

The anti-inflammatory effects may be attributed to Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) as well as melanoidins in coffee.
CGA is also linked to reducing hyperpigmentation that may have a connection with increased inflammation in the skin.

2. Reduce the appearance of Cellulite.

Coffee may help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin. It’s thought that the caffeine content in coffee is the key to cellulite reduction by dilating blood vessels beneath the skin and improving overall blood flow. In turn, this may help decrease the appearance of cellulite.

The benefit of this is best achieved by using a coffee scrub because the added exfoliation from the ground coffee beans also smoothes your skin and can improve its appearance.

Coffee

1. Great Antioxidant

While a cup of coffee can provide antioxidants internally, the purported skin benefits from coffee are primarily obtained topically.

This involves making a mask, scrub, or paste from fresh coffee grounds and applying it to your skin directly.
