Dark circles, under-eye wrinkles, and puffy eyes can be frustrating, but coffee—thanks to its caffeine content—has become a popular ingredient in many DIY eye masks. Caffeine helps constrict blood vessels, reducing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. Plus, coffee’s antioxidants promote healthy skin. Below, I’ve curated 6 coffee-based eye masksthat can help brighten and tighten the skin around your eyes. These natural remedies are easy to make and full of benefits!
1. Coffee and Coconut Oil Eye Mask
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coffee grounds
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions:
- Mix the coffee grounds and coconut oil together to create a thick paste.
- Gently apply the paste to the under-eye area with your ring finger (to prevent pulling the delicate skin).
- Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse with lukewarm water.
Benefits:
- Coconut oil is packed with fatty acids that moisturize and hydrate the skin.
- Coffee helps reduce puffiness, while the oil softens and nourishes the skin around your eyes.
