Important Precautions Before You Start
- Patch Test First: Always apply a small amount to your inner arm first to check for any irritation.
- Be Gentle: The abrasive nature of coffee grounds can be too harsh for the face, especially for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Stick to body use if you’re unsure.
- Rinse Well: Ensure all coffee grounds are rinsed from your skin and shower to prevent clogged drains.
