Coffee Scrub Benefits For Acne

Acne is a skin condition that can be described with the appearance of reddish coloration on the skin and blemish. The skin becomes inflamed and blemished.
Skin acne is believed to be caused by a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes and over secretion of sebum by the sebaceous gland.

Scientifically speaking, a coffee scrub is not an effective remedy for skin acne. Because coffee scrub can help exfoliate your skin but cannot promote the passage of oxygen into the subepidermal layer of skin.

And also, scrubbing on inflamed skin and acne-related condition was found to increase the condition not lower.

So as a word of advice, use over the counter non-abrasive topical antimicrobials such as Benzoyl peroxide and topical erythromycin.

The topical erythromycin has been shown to lower inflammatory lesion by 46%/to 70% in various randomized trials.

However, the antibiotics should not be overused all the time, this prevents the bacteria from becoming resistant to antibiotic treatments on your body.

Other effective treatments for skin acne are proactive and a combination therapy such as retinoids and some antibiotics.

Benefits Of Coffee Scrub On Face

Face is one of the delicate and sensitive parts of the body. And so, no all beauty care products, extracts, and oils are allowed to be used on face directly.

Before you begin to use any coffee scrub recipes, make sure you seek professional medical advice from a qualified dermatologist.

This allows you to know your skin type and what is best for the skin or face.

As a general fact, use coconut oil as a carrier oil in your coffee scrub, if you have dry and sensitive skin, and Olive oil if you have oily and nonsensitive skin.

To add calming, antiseptic and antiinflammatory benefits add 2-3% of Chamomile essential oil and Frankincense essential oil as these oils are medically recommended for all skin types.

If you want to add a lightening effect to your face, add a handful or 1/4 cup of grounds lemon peel, but ensure that your skin is not sensitive to the lemon. This is because most citrus species exhibit skin sensitivity or some skins are allergic to the active components of lemon.

If you want to prepare your own face coffee scrub, just follow the above procedures we have discussed earlier.
