Soft and smooth skin

Grandma's tips are synonymous with recycling and low budget. In this recipe, coffee grounds are recycled to be used as a scrub to remove dead skin cells.

Ingredients:

• Coffee grounds
• Moisturizing vegetable oil

How to make it?

1. Mix a few tablespoons of coffee grounds with 3 to 4 drops of vegetable oil.
2. Then apply to the desired area in circular motions. As coffee grounds are quite abrasive, it is not recommended to use them on the face.

Abundant hydration

Skin tends to dry out quickly because it is subjected to various aggressions such as temperature changes, friction, recurring hair removal... It is therefore important to hydrate it daily both internally and externally. To provide it with additional hydration, we advise you to take warm oatmeal baths.

All you need is:

• 100g of oatmeal
• Hot water

How to:

• Run a warm bath;
• Filter the oat flakes into a nylon stocking or a coffee filter;
• Close the filter or stocking, then let it infuse in the warm water.
