5 Incredible Benefits Of Recycled Coffee Grounds

ground coffee beansIf you’re like most people, then you enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning, but did you know those old coffee grounds that you toss away can be put to good use?

Here are five reasons to never throw away old coffee grounds again.

1. Beauty scrub

coffee grounds

Old coffee grounds make for an amazing exfoliator – just add a little honey for dry skin and lemon juice for oily skin – and because coffee is a natural stimulant, it can make tired and dull skin radiant again. Another trick? Coffee grounds are said to reduce cellulite.

Here’s a quick recipe:

  • 1/3 cup epsom salt
  • 1 cup coffee grounds
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional… don’t do this if you or the recipient have sensitive skin!)
  • 1 cup light olive oil or coconut oil

Directions:

Pour the salt into a mixing bowl. If the salt is very chunky, take a pestle or the back of a large spoon and gently crush them into smaller granules to make for a smoother facial scrub.

Mix together with just a spoon until evenly combined.

Transfer the mixture to a sealable air-tight jar.

Use in the morning, once a week as part of your normal beauty care routine, scooping out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and scrubbing your face with it.
