What to give preference: homemade mask or ready-made cosmetics

The advantages of a homemade coffee mask include:

• the pleasure of cooking;
• wonderful aroma;
• tonic effect (including due to skin scrubbing);
• more complete development of the product resource (first, coffee is brewed to obtain a drink, and then dried coffee grounds are used).

What can ready-made cosmetics with caffeine do against?

Ekaterina Turubara Medical expert Vichy

“The formula of a finished product is always tested many times: first, the components themselves are checked, then their combination and concentration, and finally the finished product. For a home pharmacy, components are taken by eye, which can lead to unpredictable consequences.”

1. 1
   There is no need to prepare the mask, and this saves time.
2. 2
3. Unlike homemade masks, finished cosmetics use the optimal concentration of active ingredients.
4. 3
   Caffeine is added to facial cosmetics, and they do not smell like coffee. But you will get a different, no less wonderful aroma.
5. 4
   If we talk about a scrub bought in a store or pharmacy, then you will definitely feel all the declared properties, including an instant tonic effect, since the effectiveness of cosmetic products is confirmed by tests.

Using any homemade “kitchen” cosmetics, including those made from coffee, is in itself like fortune telling with coffee grounds: no one is responsible for the result.

The disadvantages of homemade cosmetics with coffee, perhaps, include the following arguments.

Ekaterina Turubara Medical expert Vichy

“Natural ingredients (apricot kernels or coffee) purely technologically cannot be crushed so that the fragment does not have sharp corners. That is, the product will scratch the skin in any case.”

1. 1
   The possibilities of using it in its pure form to care for the area around the eyes are limited. Meanwhile, this is where caffeine is appropriate, since by enhancing lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, it helps get rid of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. Caffeine is included in most creams for this area. For example, intensively moisturizing cream-gel for the eye contour Hydraphase Intense Yeux, La Roche-Posay.
2. 2
   As a scrub, coffee grounds are too harsh for dry and sensitive skin. It is risky to use such a natural product after sunbathing.
3. 3
   A homemade mask with coffee will lose to a night cream with caffeine, because it will not allow you to fully use its draining properties. Thanks to the action of caffeine, night moisturizers make your facial skin fresh and well-groomed, and you can’t leave a moisturizing coffee mask on overnight.

Advantages and disadvantages

Due to a number of positive qualities, the procedure is very popular among women.

The main pros and cons are presented in the table:

Why you should try Vietnamese coffee scrub

Face scrub from Vietnam is your favorite Vietnamese coffee left over after preparation =)
