Hi, I am thinking how should I start this post? Should I be some poetess, sound like a thinker or just an ambitious girl with a blog. I can be all you know. Or at least I think so. I do not literally write poems, but I have poetic short stories that always run at the back of my mind. When I am alone, I am not alone, my characters are with me. The world of imagination, it’s beautiful. Coming back to the world of reality, it’s time for the weekend post where I line up last week’s posts that were most appreciated by the visitors. In case you missed them, they are here for you to have a look. Let me know, if you liked them too.

Coffee-Lemongrass Pre-Hair Removal Scrub for Ingrown hair : DIY

Hair removal methods that do not remove hair from the root like razor shaving often leads to the problem of ingrown hair. In this problem, when the hair starts to grow back, their tiny stubble remain under the skin causing small small bumps on the skin. These hair follicles comes to the surface like other normal hair after reaching certain length, but it takes days for that. If the ingrown hair bumps are manipulated they leave dark marks on the skin. Today’s post is dedicated to a 3 ingredient coffee scrub for ingrown hair to sort out your problem. This scrub is gentle enough to use before razor shaving and is very easy to make at home. 3 Ingredient Coffee Scrub For Ingrown Hair Apart from preventing the ingrown hair bumps on the skin this homemade Coffee-Lemongrass scrub has some other benefits as well. This scrub supples up the skin and increases skin’s hydration level. It takes away the dull dead cell layer from the surface of the skin. Its ingredient selection works on suntans and pigmentation. Regular use will prevent premature ageing and promotes cell renewal. This scrub can also be used to soften rough elbows and heels.

Coffee: Coffee is a power ingredient for the skin. Its naturally gritty texture makes it a great exfoliator for the skin. This anti-oxidant rich bean also helps to tighten, brighten and lighten the skin. For this scrub I am using finely ground coffee with small granules because most of the unwanted hair growth is on the sensitive areas of the skin. Coarsely ground oatmeal can also be used as a replacement for coffee. Sunflower Oil: Sunflower oil is the base for my scrub. It supplies the scrubbing granules of coffee with enough slip to work on without scratching the delicate skin. This ingredient contains Omega-6 fatty acid which works as skin soother and cures mild skin irritations, suntans and dermatitis. That is why this oil is my first choice for this scrub though other skin-friendly natural oils like almond oil, coconut oil or olive oil also serve the purpose pretty well. Lemongrass Essential Oil: This essential oil anti-microbial in nature and has astringent properties. It prevents the redness I often experience as I scrub my skin with products with grainy particles. This oil sterilizes the skin which in turn lowers the chances of infection at the time of hair-removing. Any citrus essential oil with anti-septic properties can replace this oil. Steps To Prepare The Scrub Take 1 teaspoon Coffee in a dry bowl. Add ½ teaspoon Sunflower Oil to it and mix. Add 2 drops of Lemongrass or any other citrus essential oil and stir. Store the scrub in an airtight container for future use. Usage: Dampen the area to be exfoliated and remove the excess moisture using a soft towel. Take appropriate amount of scrub and exfoliate the skin using firm circular strokes for 2-3 minutes. Leave it for 3-4 more minutes so that the oils get seeped into the skin and then wash it off. Continue with your razor hair removal routine after 10-15 minutes as per the sensitivity level of your skin. Precautions Though all the ingredients used in this exfoliator are either natural or food grade, but it is good do a patch test beforehand to prevent any skin irritation, breakouts etc. Do not keep the scrub in any moist place like shower area or touch it with moist hands. This may cause the coffee granules to lose its grittiness which in turn will lessen the effectiveness of the scrub. It is best to use the scrub freshly made. Since that can be quite time-consuming, we can make one batch of the scrub and use within 1 week of preparation. Tell me how you liked this DIY coffee scrub for ingrown hair. Let me know if you have used such scrub. Post Author : Sreeparna
