Safety of Coffee Scrub
In general, a coffee scrub is safe to apply on the body and face. Nevertheless, allergic dermatitis may occur in some individuals. So, if you do not drink coffee regularly, it is better to do a patch test before deciding to use this home remedy. Simple steps to follow:
– Wash the arm from the elbow to the wrist and let it dry
– Apply a small amount of coffee scrubs on a small skin area under the arm
– Wipe off the scrub
– Wait at least 1 day to see whether you have hives, itching, or redness. If there is no reaction, you may start using a coffee scrub for your skincare routine. [5]
