About grums:
We create high quality, sustainable skincare products using local coffee grounds from La Cabra Coffee Roasters in Aarhus, Denmark. We believe that skincare can be developed from a sustainable mindset without compromising on quality, look, feel or effect. From the beginning, we have pushed ourselves and our partners to demand just that, in every part of our value chain. From the collection of coffee grounds to the purposeful selection of natural, high-quality ingredients and sustainable packaging.
I'm sure most of us have experienced how a good cup of coffee can cheer up any groggy morning. But how exactly can the coffee grounds left over from your morning brew benefit your skin? When brewed, less than 1% of the nutrients end up in your coffee. That means more than 99% of all nutrients are left behind in the coffee grounds.
We've rounded up 5 of the best reasons why coffee grounds are an amazing skincare ingredient.
#Refreshed Glow
Free radicals are molecules (pollution particles, etc) that our environment is full of. Free radicals are molecules that when damaged, whether by diet, stress, smoking, or other products, can lead to visible skin blemishes like dark spots and lines. However, when you supercharge your skin with antioxidants from coffee grounds, you protect and strengthen your skin's natural defenses. Coffee grounds help reverse imperfections and brighten your skin, giving it a refreshed glow.
#Firmness and elasticity
Coffee grounds have the ideal consistency to create the ultimate exfoliation. The texture of coffee grounds is great for sloughing off all those dead skin cells and supports the production of new skin cells. It also contains caffeic acid, which is known to increase collagen production. Collagen is a protein produced by our cells that helps to "hold" the skin together. It provides firmness and elasticity and makes your skin look younger.
#Coffee defeats plastic
Microbeads, which are made of plastic, are used by many industries for a variety of purposes, including cosmetic products like exfoliants. Unlike microbeads, coffee grounds are rich in antioxidants and natural oils and can even have a great effect on some skin conditions, such as psoriasis. Plus, they won't harm our environment if they go down the drain.
#Anti-inflammatory
Due to the fact that coffee grounds are a rich source of antioxidants and caffeine, it has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that make it ideal for reducing inflammation and redness in your skin and giving you a beautiful, even skin tone.
#Improves blood circulation
Coffee grounds boost blood circulation and reduce cellulite. It leads to a healthy and energetic looking skin as the toxins and waste are transported to the elimination sites. We all want that healthy flush in our cheeks to avoid looking like the walking dead. When you use coffee grounds on your skin, such as in a face mask or body scrub, it will boost your skin's glow and make it look radiant and healthy.
