Homemade Coffee Honey Face Mask

Most people enjoy a cup of coffee early in the morning to give them a much-needed boost to start the day on the right note.

While a cup of brew can provide healthy antioxidants to the body internally but not a lot of people are aware of the healthy skin benefits coffee can provide. It can be applied topically by making a paste, mask or scrub by using either coffee powder or fresh coffee grounds.

Generally, people with sensitive skin have limitations as to which skin products or treatments they can use as some ingredients can be too abrasive or cause skin irritation. Coffee powder is one of the best remedies for sensitive skin as it contains anti-inflammatory components.
