Islamabad: (RightNow) Coffee beans are not just for morning freshness; they can also be used as a homemade scrub. To make a coffee scrub, mix 2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee, 1 tablespoon of coconut or olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to create a thick paste.

Apply this scrub to damp skin and massage gently, then rinse with lukewarm water and apply moisturizer. Coffee particles help remove dead cells from the skin’s surface but are not suitable for deep pore cleansing or acne treatment.

Experts advise against using coarse coffee grounds for scrubbing, as it can cause irritation. Avoid using the scrub on sensitive or injured skin.

It is important to note that a patch test is essential before using on the face to prevent skin damage.
