The combination of Vaseline and coffee grounds is often promoted online as a DIY skincare remedy, especially for exfoliation and moisturizing. Here’s a breakdown of what it’s used for — and what to consider:
🌿 Why People Mix Vaseline and Coffee
1. Natural Scrub:
Coffee grounds act as a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells.
2. Moisturizer:
Vaseline (petroleum jelly) helps lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier.
3. Smoother Skin:
Used together, they can leave skin softer and more radiant, especially on dry areas like elbows, knees, or lips.
🧴 How to Use It
Ingredients: 1 tbsp Vaseline + 1 tbsp used or fresh coffee grounds
Directions: Mix well, massage gently on damp skin in circular motions, leave for 5–10 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Frequency: Use 1–2 times per week.
⚠️ Caution
Don’t use on sensitive or acne-prone skin (can clog pores).
Always patch test first.
Avoid use near the eyes.
