More and more people are moving away from invasive cosmetic treatments and opting for natural solutions to take care of their skin. The desire to maintain a youthful, wrinkle-free and even face tone doesn’t have to involve excessive expense or complex procedures. The key is in simple, natural and effective ingredients, which act in synergy to revitalize the skin from the first application.
Inspired by traditional Japanese care, these three recipes combine the power of coffee with other natural ingredients to offer a complete routine: deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation and intensive nourishment.
Here’s this powerful 3-in-1 mask that you can easily make at home.
1. Deep cleansing mask with a tightening effect
This blend helps to cleanse pores, remove impurities and provide firmness from the first application. It is ideal for skin that has lost elasticity or shows the first signs of aging.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
Preparation:
- Mix all the ingredients until the gelatin absorbs the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a double boiler, stirring constantly without boiling.
- Once dissolved, let it sit warm for a few minutes.
How to use:
Apply to the face, neck or even on hands, always with clean and dry skin. Leave on for 25 to 30 minutes until it dries completely. Remove the mask carefully, from the bottom up. Rinse with warm water and apply your usual moisturizer.
