- Recipe: Mix a tiny pinch of finely ground coffee with a pea-sized amount of Vaseline.
- Use: Gently pat a thin layer under the eyes and leave on for 10 minutes. Carefully wipe away with a damp cloth. The caffeine may help temporarily reduce puffiness.
Important Precautions Before You Start
- Patch Test First: Always apply a small amount to your inner arm first to check for any irritation.
- Be Gentle: The abrasive nature of coffee grounds can be too harsh for the face, especially for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Stick to body use if you’re unsure.
- Rinse Well: Ensure all coffee grounds are rinsed from your skin and shower to prevent clogged drains.
