Frugal Living : Homemade Coffee Face Scrub: thrifty and nourishing

 

Don't waste your money on face scrubs and cleansers; they're expensive and often contain harmful ingredients. Instead, reuse your coffee grinds and treat yourself to a homemade, invigorating face scrub. Simply take some old coffee grinds (let them cool first), cover your bar of soap with them, wet your hands, and lather up. Wash your face as you normally would. The grinds not only act as a gentle scrub, helping reduce dead skin cells, but coffee is also a natural source of anti-oxidants,  is said to reduce redness, and firm-up skin. Nourish your skin at home, for no extra cost!

This thrifty health tip is more of a beauty tip, because looking great and feeling great can go hand in hand with a fat wallet! So many beauty treatments can be performed at home. This is a money saving tip that will keep you looking your best and save you a bundle.
