Coffee benefits are not limited to energizing you in the morning; they extend to becoming part of your daily beauty routine. Instead of discarding coffee grounds after preparing your favorite cup, you can benefit from their rich antioxidants and skin-friendly elements. Topical use of coffee grounds doubles its effect compared to drinking it only, giving you amazing results for radiant and rejuvenated skin.

Here are 7 beauty benefits of using coffee grounds, according to Espresso Works:

• Coffee grounds act as an effective exfoliator that removes dead skin cells and stimulates blood circulation. You can gently rub it on your skin or lips with a little coconut oil to get a smooth texture and brighter skin.
• One of the most common uses of coffee grounds is its ability to reduce dark circles. Caffeine stimulates blood circulation and tightens the skin under the eyes. You can prepare a homemade serum by mixing coffee grounds with sweet almond oil and letting it soak for several days, then strain and add avocado oil. Using this serum in the morning gives you a fresher appearance.
• Thanks to its antioxidants, coffee grounds help reduce fine lines and sunspots and enhance skin elasticity. Regular use helps protect the skin from premature aging factors.
• The caffeine in coffee helps constrict blood vessels under the eyes, reducing puffiness and giving you a refreshed look. Apply cold compresses soaked in coffee infusion on this area for several minutes daily.
• Coffee grounds are a natural trick to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Caffeine dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow, making the skin look firmer. To prepare an effective scrub, mix coffee grounds with coconut oil and sugar, and rub the targeted areas in circular motions.
• Coffee is a rich source of vitamin B3 (niacin), an element that helps prevent some types of skin cancer. Studies have indicated that regular coffee consumption can reduce the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer by up to 20%.
• Soaked coffee grounds in cold water can soothe the skin after excessive sun exposure. Dip a cloth in the infusion, wring it slightly, then place it on the affected area to reduce redness and calm superficial burns.
