Coffee face wash

Face Wash For Instant Brightness

A few days ago, I noticed that my face was looking dull. In my country, there is so much pollution that I can’t protect my skin from its effects. As I have to maintain my home and office, tiredness also affects me and makes my skin dull. At that moment, I realized I needed something that would energize my skin and provide antioxidants.

An instant solution came to mind. I drink coffee to energize myself whenever I feel sleepy; coffee is an instant solution for me. So, I can use it on my face to wake up my skin. Coffee is such a thing that can solve this problem. It also contains antioxidant properties and has anti-aging benefits. Antioxidants help to reduce oxidative stress and can prevent aging and certain diseases such as cancer.

Since I consume coffee internally, I can apply it externally to get the full benefit of it. Dullness steals brightness from my face as well. Therefore, I included coffee in my face wash routine instead of using a normal face wash.

Preparing a pump bottle:

 Firstly, I prepare a bottle to store the face wash that I am going to make. I took an old empty pump bottle and washed it with lukewarm water and a little dishwashing liquid. After washing it with lukewarm water again, I rinsed it with plain water. Then, I kept it upside down to dry the inner side of the bottle. Afterward, I sanitized the bottle with a spray sanitizer and allowed it some time to dry.

After making it, I need to preserve it, so I use purified water. I boiled one glass of filtered water in a pot. When the water boiled, I poured it into a glass and added 2 tablespoons of coffee powder. I gave it a good mix. Since I prefer a foamy cleanser, I added 1 tablespoon of gentle face wash after the coffee water cooled down. Then, I poured it into a pump bottle.

Preservation:

After making this face wash, I preserve it in the refrigerator. Whenever I come home, I wash my face with it and keep it in the fridge again. I don’t keep it for over a week; I finish it within a week. As it is a homemade face wash, its shelf life is very limited. That’s why I don’t keep it for a long time. After a week, I make it again.

Application:

It’s a very liquid formula. After wetting my face, I take one pump in my palm and apply it directly to my face, gently cleaning it with this face wash. It doesn’t produce much foam because it’s a natural and homemade formula, so it is less foamy. To make it more foamy, add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of gentle face wash. Alternatively, sometimes use baby body wash instead.

 

I began using it regularly after coming home and noticed a difference from the first day. It instantly brightened my skin, and the brightness increased day by day. On holidays, I wash my face with this face wash twice a day, morning and evening, as a mild cleanser, since coffee benefits me both internally and externally.

I drink coffee without sugar to stay fit, and sometimes I make a cappuccino at home without sugar too. These drinks refresh me and give me the energy to carry on.

If you are using coffee externally for the first time, it’s necessary to do a patch test on your skin. If you experience itchiness or discomfort, discontinue use.
