Whether it’s Monday morning or Friday afternoon, there isn’t a bad time for a cup of coffee. If you’re a caffeine addict like us, or you’re always on the hunt for the latest skin care trends (or you're a combination of the two), you’ve likely heard about the coffee scrub craze. Everyone’s using one—or so it seems if you take a quick scroll through your social media feeds. But what exactly is a coffee scrub and how can you add one to your skin care routine? We’re here to tell you everything you need to know, starting with whether or not you should DIY a coffee scrub.
While it may be tempting to DIY this skin care trend, making your own coffee scrub has the potential to cause harm to your skin. Exfoliating can already be harsh on the skin, and creating your own, untested scrub can result in irritation and damage. Not convinced? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, exfoliation can give you brighter and younger-looking skin but certain treatments can make the condition of your skin worse. Rather than DIY a scrub, opt for an exfoliating scrub that has been tested by professionals, is safe for your skin, and can be used multiple times a week without being overly harsh.
Just because you can’t create your own DIY coffee scrub doesn’t mean you have to miss out on this skin care trend! Our best coffee scrub, the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Resurface and Energize Coffee Facial Scrub, is the perfect avenue for participating in this popular trend. The formula is made with a blend of 3 pure sugars, finely ground coffee, almond oil, and coconut oil to gently yet effectively exfoliate your skin. The scrub removes dirt, oil, and impurities to leave your skin feeling energized, refreshed, baby-soft, and smooth.
If you’re ready to jump on the coffee scrub bandwagon (we know we are), here’s a step-by-step guide on how to incorporate one into your skin care routine.
To start your skin care routine, use a facial cleanser like the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Detox & Brighten Cleanser. This cleanser removes everyday impurities and leaves your skin with a fresh glow. To apply, squeeze the product into your hands and add water to transform the clay formula into a mousse. Then, massage the cleanser in circular motions over your face before rinsing thoroughly and patting dry.
Next, it’s time to exfoliate your skin! The L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Resurface and Energize Coffee Facial Scrub can be used to exfoliate both your face and lips. Use dry fingers to apply the scrub to your face, avoiding your eye area. Then, gently massage the scrub over your face with wet fingers. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water when you’re finished exfoliating. The scrub can be used 3 times a week.
To complete this simple routine, hydrate your skin with a facial moisturizer like the L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care - Normal/Oily Skin, L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care - Normal/Dry Skin, or L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care - Extra Dry Skin.
