Peace and blessings mystic lovers! 

Not to toot my horn, but I do get quite a few compliments on my skin, which coming from a woman who used to suffer from facial eczema - that means a lot. For me and my skin type, I’ve learned that less is more. I’m not one of the girls with a ten step skin care routine. My skin is pretty sensitive, so products with artificial ingredients and fragrances don’t fare well with me. I like to keep my skin care routine simple. I stick to natural cleansers like african black soap or Dr.Bronners, witch hazel for toner, and making my own natural skin care products when I can. One of my absolute favorites being this coconut oil and coffee exfoliating mask. 

This is the BEST exfoliating mask I’ve ever used and it's 100% natural. What makes it a wonderful addition to any skin care routine is that it exfoliates and hydrates at the same time.  Coconut oil and coffee have a multitude of benefits for the skin too. Coconut oil has been known to reduce inflammation and treat acne, help fight dry skin, improve skin tone and complexion. It also contains antioxidants that can help boost collagen and defend your skin from damaging microorganisms. Coffee also helps to reduce inflammation, contains anti-aging benefits for the skin, improves blood circulation, fights sun damage and fine lines, and softens skin. 

Coconut Oil & Coffee Exfoliating Mask Ingredients 

Making your own coconut oil and coffee exfoliating mask is super easy. All you need is ¼ lbs ground coffee for every ½ cup of coconut oil. Just mix these two together and store in a glass container. This natural exfoliating mask will last you a long time. Ground coffee doesn’t expire, and coconut oil has a shelf life of up to two years. The ground coffee may soak up the coconut oil after some time. If that happens, just add some more coconut oil on top to keep using. 

How To Apply & Use 

Start by washing your face with a natural cleanser. Leave your face damp after cleansing so the mask can be easily distributed across your face. Next, apply your coconut oil and coffee exfoliating mask to your face and gently massage into your skin. Let it rest on your skin for 10 to 15 minutes to soak up the benefits of the ingredients. Remove the mask by rinsing your face with cool to cold water. Pat any excess water into your skin but DO NOT dry your face with a towel or wash the coconut oil and coffee exfoliating mask off with cleanser. There’s no need to add moisturizer either. The coconut oil will continue to hydrate your skin once the mask has been removed. 

Final Words

That’s it! That’s how you make and use your coconut oil and coffee exfoliating mask. I like to use mine once or twice a week, but you can use yours as often as your skin needs. That’s the beauty of natural skin care products. They pose no threat or harm to your skin and be used at whatever frequency you deem best.
