Coffee Scrub for Oily Skin.

As anyone who has suffered from eczema can attest, it can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition to deal with. While there are many products on the market that claim to treat eczema, many people are turning to natural remedies, such as organic coffee scrubs. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using an organic coffee scrub to treat eczema, as well as how to use one effectively.

What is Eczema? Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can affect people of all ages, and while the exact cause is unknown, it is thought to be related to an overactive immune system. Eczema is often treated with prescription medications and topical creams, but some people prefer natural remedies, such as organic coffee scrubs.

What is an Organic Coffee Scrub? An organic coffee scrub is a mixture of coffee grounds and other natural ingredients, such as coconut oil, sugar, and essential oils. The caffeine in the coffee grounds is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce the inflammation associated with eczema. Additionally, the gritty texture of the coffee grounds can help to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.

Benefits of Using an Organic Coffee Scrub to Treat Eczema There are several benefits to using an organic coffee scrub to treat eczema:

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: As previously mentioned, the caffeine in the coffee grounds has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce the inflammation associated with eczema.
Exfoliation: The gritty texture of the coffee grounds can help to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. This can help to reduce the appearance of eczema and improve the overall health of the skin.
Increased Blood Flow: The caffeine in the coffee grounds can help to increase blood flow to the skin, which can improve the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the affected area. This can help to promote healing and reduce the symptoms of eczema.
Natural Ingredients: Organic coffee scrubs are made with natural ingredients, such as coffee grounds, coconut oil, and essential oils. This means that they are free from harsh chemicals and preservatives that can irritate the skin and exacerbate eczema symptoms.
Cost-Effective: Organic coffee scrubs are often less expensive than prescription medications and topical creams, making them a cost-effective option for treating eczema.

How to Use an Organic Coffee Scrub to Treat Eczema To use an organic coffee scrub to treat eczema, follow these steps:

Start with clean, damp skin. Gently wash the affected area with warm water and a gentle cleanser.
Apply the organic coffee scrub to the affected area. Use gentle, circular motions to massage the scrub into the skin.
Let the scrub sit on the skin for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the caffeine and other natural ingredients to penetrate the skin and provide maximum benefits.
Rinse the scrub off with warm water. Pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
Follow up with a gentle moisturizer. Organic coconut oil or aloe vera gel are great options for moisturizing the skin after using an organic coffee scrub.

Precautions When Using an Organic Coffee Scrub While organic coffee scrubs are generally safe to use, there are a few precautions that you should keep in mind:

Let's Get Srubbin'.

This is what we will need to use:

A dish or a bowl of some sort.
A spoon.
Your fingers.
A food blender of some sort.

This is what we will need to make our 'base' mix.

Some coffee.
Some water.
A few simple ingredients (just below).

For oily skin, we're looking to make a Pore Cleaning scrub.

So, We'll Add a Little Bit of ...

Sea Salt.

A Slice of Lemon.

Some Aloe Vera.

Brown Sugar.

Some Honey.

Some Oatmeal.

Amounts shown are based on having enough scrub to do your face and your neck (if you want to).

(Don't forget that you can freeze a scrub after you've made it. It'll keep fresh for months in a freezer. Leave it thaw out for around 24 hours before use).

Ingredients.

Add 4 or 5 teaspoons (or equivalent) of coffee.
3 teaspoons of salt. (Sea or rock salt is best. Use whatever you've got).
3 teaspoons of sugar (or 3 cubes). Brown is best, white is ok.
2 teaspoons of honey.
You want 2 teaspoons of Aloe Vera (Plant cuttings or quality organic gel).
3 or 4 slices of a cucumber (leave the peel on).
About a third of a pint (160ml) of water.

To Do.

Just pop everything into your blender and mix it all up for around 3 to 4 seconds, 3 times. You'll get it just perfect.

Pour your mix into your bowl or dish.
Find your perfect place to apply your scrub. A bathroom is usually best as it's easy to accidentally splash a bit of scrub onto the floor or wall.

(If you don't want to get any in your hair, place your hair in a bun or use a shower cap or something similar).

Scrubba-dub-dub.

You can apply your scrub however you prefer to, or follow the steps below.

Start with your cheeks and rub the scrub in a slow circular motion.

Nice & slow. Make sure you gently massage the nourishment into every part of your skin.
You can either do 1 cheek at a time or just use both hands to do both at once.
Make sure you spend at least 20 seconds massaging the scrub into each cheek.
Do your nose. It has skin too! Top to bottom, 20 seconds.

2. Beneath your eyes and around the side.

Same technique. Massage your scrub into the skin under your eyes, taking care not to get any in your eyes (obviously).
Again, spend at least 20 seconds gently rubbing the ingredients into your skin.

3. Forehead.

Circular motions. Just rub it all in but not too hard. Same again here, at least 20 seconds. Make sure you don't miss anywhere.

4. Chin and neck.

We're sure you get how to do it by now. Rubba-dub-dub it all in.

Don't forget the 20 second rule.
Look up to the ceiling when doing your neck. It'll help open the pores a little more to receive all of the lovely natural nutrition your feeding it.

And that's it. No more required.

All Done.

Absorption time: We highly recommend leaving the scrub on your skin for at least 5 mins, 10 is better. This allows the skin more time to absorb more nutrients from the scrub.

Once your done here, time to hit the shower. It's important that you don't use any chemicals to wash your face/neck. Just use water only.

Au naturale.

Your skin will appreciate it.

This is What You've Done.

Exfoliated.

Anti-bacterial.

Anti-microbial.

Anti-fungal.

Moisterized (but not too much).

Cleaned the pores out.

Nourished your skin.

Entirely Au Naturale.

You can make and apply one of these scrubs whenever you feel like, but we'd recommend no more than once per week, no less than once per month.
