Coffee grounds are a natural exfoliant. Theyβre easy to mix into a face or body scrub that gently removes dead skin cells. Plus, caffeine has antioxidant properties.
Mix 1 cup coffee grounds from freshly brewed coffee, 6 Tbsp. coconut or jojoba oil and 3 Tbsp. sea salt or white sugar into a jar. Combine until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Apply to your face (like a mask) or anywhere youβd like to exfoliate. Then gently rub the grounds into your skin.
Natural Dye
Want to add a sepia tone to a light or neutral top? Coffee stains cotton, as many of us have discovered on our way to work while wearing a crisp white shirt. Dyeing any light fabric with coffee adds a beautiful antiqued look to any fabric (when itβs intentional).
Cleaning Product
Coffee grounds are a coarse powder. This means that they are abrasive and that people can use them to scrub surfaces, utensils, or appliances that have ingrained or hard-to-remove dirt.
That said, coffee grounds may be too rough to use on delicate surfaces or utensils.
There are plenty of other great ways to reuse your coffee grounds! Find them on our Maud's Coffee & Tea Blog linked here.
