You may be used to getting your daily dose of caffeine by drinking your java, but there are many benefits to using coffee on your skin. Healthline outlines some major areas in which coffee can aid in wellness. Due to all of the antioxidants, the coffee produces a calming sensation that also comes with knowing you are taking good care of your skin. Another perk to coffee is that the scrub helps eliminate *deep* bacteria while also providing anti-inflammatory properties that fight body acne. Since this is a powerful scrub, we recommend not using it on any sensitive areas like your face.

Coffee is a wonderful product with many different uses. Using coffee on your skin has become a popular remedy, but remember that everyone is different, and this scrub might not work perfectly for you. Try it out and see how your skin feels, but remember that listening to your body is important when it comes to skincare.
