Whenever we prepare a fresh brew of coffee, we throw away the coffee grounds immediately.
However, rarely anyone is aware that the grounds on the bottom of our mug can actually be used in many ways.
When you’re done with your cuppa Joe, take the grounds out on a paper and put it in the oven so it dries.
The dry coffee grounds can then be used as an exfoliator, soap substitute and in other fun ways.
Here’s what coffee grounds can help you with:
A Great Cellulite Remover
Caffeine is the major compound in coffee, so there’s a lot of it in coffee grounds as well. Caffeine is a big part of many anti-cellulite products, which means that coffee grounds work just as well. Rub them on the affected areas of your body mixed with olive or coconut oil and your cellulite should disappear soon.
Eliminate Dark Bags Under The Eyes
Mix some coffee grounds with a bit of olive oil, then rub them under your eyes to eliminate the ugly bags.
A Great Soap Substitute
Forgot you’re run out of soap? Don’t worry – coffee grounds are a great substitute which will “peel” dirt off your skin.
Neutralize Odors
If you have a nasty odor coming from your fridge or the trashcan, simply put dry coffee grounds on a piece of paper and leave them there for a few days. You will be surprised by the results in the end!
Hair Energizer
Rubbing dry coffee grounds in your hair will nourish it with nutrients and breathe new life into it.
