An attractive appearance is often the key to normal self-esteem, success in today's cruel society, good mood and even an active life position. Cosmetology and specialists in this field offer a wide variety of procedures for rejuvenation and transformation. Their cost starts from the lowest (for daily skin care products) and has no restrictions. In the latter case, we are talking about solving specific problems: eliminating wrinkles using various injections, all kinds of anti-cellulite sessions, rejuvenating masks, wraps, baths, etc.
However, no one has proven that such newfangled expensive procedures are more effective than reasonable home alternatives. The use of coffee grounds, for example, has proven itself so well that it is imperative to consider how the product is used and what effect it has.
Only ground natural coffee can be considered as the basis for such a cosmetic product. But the statement that only the thick from the prepared drink should be used is only a myth. Many recipes are based on dry powder.
The thermally processed product has a peculiar softness and has a gentle effect. Powder that has not gone through the brewing stage is more aggressive and has higher exfoliating properties.
Another important aspect is the degree of grind. This indicator affects the "imagery" of the funds received. By adjusting this property, various results can be achieved.
Fine grinding has a gentle effect. It is well suited for the face, décolleté, sensitive and thin skin. Coarse grinding removes a larger layer of dead cells, cleans pores better, but its effect is more aggressive.
A preliminary warming massage significantly increases the effectiveness of the measures. Normal massage movements with your fingers (when it comes to the face) or palms (when the area of \u200b\u200buse is the body) will be sufficient. You can use all kinds of massage brushes and other devices of a similar orientation.
This homemade "beauty product" has an exfoliating effect. As a result of exposure to the smallest hard particles, the skin becomes softer and more tender. This property is obvious and noticeable after the first session. However, it is not the only one, let alone the main thing.
The main active ingredient is caffeine. He has such an effect:
The effect of caffeine is based on the following: under the action of this substance, the lumen of the subcutaneous vessels increases, as a result of which blood flow and turnover of substances increase in the tissues.
The antioxidants also play an important role. They increase the elimination of toxins. The result of this influence is a slowdown in the aging process.
However, the manifestation of the described effects (as opposed to instant exfoliating) requires a regular approach.
There are a large number of use cases. Several of them:
Ground coffee face scrub
