Coffee grounds make a great exfoliant. The grounds do not dissolve in water, which makes them good at scrubbing away dead skin cells. Results of a study from 2013 suggest that substances in coffee also help to promote healthy skin.
Dr. Mona Gohara: Scrubbing coffee grounds on your skin can reduce the appearance of cellulite temporarily. "Caffeine stimulates dilation while the scrubbing motion increases circulation, plumping up the skin and making cellulite look less obvious," Gohara explains. "Plus, coffee grounds contain antioxidants, so they can increase collagen production."
The main reason that coffee is so great at brightening the skin is due to its high antioxidant content. The antioxidants in coffee enhance blood flow, promote cell regeneration and repair existing damage, all which contribute to brighter, radiant skin.
