Today we are going to share with you why it is important to hold on to your precious coffee grounds! As well as being very handy for household tasks, coffee grounds are equally effective when it comes to natural beauty tips! So here are a few to get you started…

Go for organic ingredients whenever possible in order to avoid applying pesticide residues and chemicals to your skin, as they can penetrate your skin and get into your bloodstream. It may seem obvious, but if you are preparing natural remedies, you need to use natural ingredients…

Mix it all together to obtain a gentle and natural mask. Apply a thick layer to your face and leave it to work for around 10 minutes, before rinsing with lukewarm water. The coffee grounds and egg white will have a tightening, anti-wrinkle effect, while the honey has antiseptic properties for deeply cleansing the skin.

Put the egg white into a container, add a teaspoon of coffee grounds and mix them together. Apply the mixture to your face, gently massaging it in using circular movements. Rinse with cold water and hydrate your skin with a an easy to make natural organic moisturiser.
