The more I get informed, the more aware I have become with not only what I put into my body but what I put onto my body as well.
The products being pushed by manufacturers out there try and sell their beauty products that are loaded with chemicals. I have children, two of which are girls who are using beauty products and knowing what I know now, I can’t buy these products for them any longer. So this is how I started to educate myself and dabble in making my own products that are safe, chemical free, all natural, and full of nutrients.
This morning I got up, made myself a cup of coffee and looked into how I can make a simple facial exfoliant. When I saw that I could make one with coffee grinds, I was sold! I had all of the ingredients on hand and it was super easy to make.
Here is what you will need to make this exfoliant.
Simple Facial Exfoliator
Ingredients
- Coffee Grinds
- Honey
- Olive Oil
That’s it you ask? Yup, that’s it! I’m sure most of us have these ingredients in our kitchen.
These 3 ingredients are packed with goodness for your skin. Here are the benefits.
It’s great to get rid of dead skin cells and it helps with circulation. There are antibacterial properties that help with acne treatment and prevention (great for our kids who are going through changes). Full of antioxidants which helps slow down the ageing of the skin. It is extremely moisturizing and helps create that glow we all are looking for that says our skin is healthy. Lastly, it is full of vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. All this in just 3 ingredients.
Depending on how many grinds you have, you can add enough honey and olive oil to create a creamy consistency.
Apply this to your clean skin, leave on for 2 minutes to gain the effects of the honey and oil, then wipe off with a warm cloth or rinse with warm water.
Hope you love it just as much as I do!
