Face Mask And Coffee Scrub For Tired Skin
A tired face needs nutrients to restore its radiance and vitality. Discover in this article how you can prepare a face mask and coffee scrub for tired skin!
Why do you have a tired face?
Aging skin cells is one of the main reasons why our face looks tired, without brightness or vitality.
- The skin of the face undergoes a progressive oxidation due to free radicals.
In addition, there is premature aging, which occurs for any of the following reasons:
Lack of hydration
- It is essential to drink between one and a half and two liters of water every day, as mentioned in this study by the Spanish Society of Basic and Applied Nutrition.
- Drink water outside of meals and especially on an empty stomach.
Lack of regular exfoliation for cell renewal
- It is very important to clean the skin properly and with natural products.
- It should also be exfoliated regularly to facilitate regeneration, improve elasticity, etc.
Lack of nutrients
Malnutrition affects the whole body. It does not always occur due to lack of food, but rather due to an unbalanced diet poor in:
- Vitamins
- mining
- Fatty acids
- Raw food
Excessive sun exposure
If we expose our skin to excessive sun and hours of maximum radiation, greater oxidation will occur.
Physical and mental fatigue
Exhaustion, nerves, stress and negative emotions affect our health and skin.
Lack of night rest
Try to sleep well for 7-8 hours every night and have a truly restful sleep.
- The bedroom should be a comfortable and relaxing place, without lights and noise.
Smoking
Smoking dehydrates the skin. In addition, as reported by the Mayo Clinic, tobacco accelerates the normal aging process.
Excessive use of makeup or poor quality cosmetics
These products block the pores of the skin and dry it, reducing natural brightness and hydration.
Face mask and coffee scrub for tired skin
This beauty remedy combines two benefits.
- We have a nourishing and revitalizing mask for all skin types due to its regulating and stimulating properties. For this reason, we will apply it once a week and let it act for 15 minutes.
In addition, the ground coffee base of this mask exfoliates the skin. When we go to remove it with water, we will take the opportunity to cleanse the skin.
- We will apply it especially in areas with pimples or excess fat.
ingredients
- Half a glass of coffee (100 ml)

BENEFITS
- Coffee. It is the basic ingredient of our remedy, having antioxidant, detoxifying, diuretic and stimulating properties. This is evidenced by this study conducted by the University of Chile.

Training
- We will mix all the ingredients well.
