Apple cider vinegar and coffee grounds, two common household ingredients, can be combined to create a powerful natural skin scrub. This age-old trick not only rejuvenates your skin, but also offers many other health benefits.
Why Apple Cider Vinegar is Good for Your Skin
Apple cider vinegar is rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage, which can cause premature aging. Its natural astringent properties help tighten pores and reduce oil production, while its antibacterial and antifungal qualities make it effective against acne and other skin problems.
The Benefits of Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds are rich in caffeine, which stimulates circulation and brightens the skin. It also acts as a natural exfoliant, removing dead skin cells and leaving your skin smoother and more even.
How to Make the Scrub
To create this skin-enhancing scrub, mix one part apple cider vinegar with three parts coffee grounds. For added moisture, add a small amount of olive or coconut oil. Apply the scrub to damp skin, massaging gently for about two minutes before rinsing thoroughly with warm water.
Additional Benefits
Beyond skin care, the combination of apple cider vinegar and coffee grounds may promote weight loss, improve digestion, and lower cholesterol levels. The caffeine boosts metabolism, while the apple cider vinegar aids digestion and helps lower “bad” cholesterol.
