Making Your Own Beauty Products in Lockdown

Being in lockdown and out of reach from your skin products doesn’t mean you can’t take care of it. There are plenty of ways you can make your own beauty products. And the best part about this is that it’s natural and sustainable. One of the most beneficial ingredients for your skin is none other than your favorite morning coffee.

Caffeine is full of antioxidants and is great for increasing blood flow and promoting cell turnover. When applied topically through masks and other skin care treatments, it constricts the blood vessels and helps reduce inflammation and puffiness. It also tightens and brightens the skin, reducing wrinkles and visibly smoothing away cellulite on the body.

For a simple body scrub, leave the coffee grounds to dry out overnight and then store them in a glass jar. This could also be used as a scalp exfoliant to remove product build-up from hair and restore its shine before washing out with shampoo, writes Independent.co. For a face scrub, mix in some melted coconut oil, soft brown sugar and a dash of vanilla essence

There are so many combos for face scrubs such as ground oatmeal and honey, olive oil and sugar, and lemon and sugar, which you can search up on the internet. Making your own beauty products are less costly and also it helps you pass time when you’re bored.
