FAQ:
Q: Is this safe for all skin types?
A: While generally safe, those with sensitive or acne-prone skin should do a patch test first. Coffee grounds can be abrasive, and Vaseline may clog pores in some individuals.
Q: How often should I use this treatment?
A: Once or twice a week is enough for most skin types. Overuse may lead to irritation or buildup.
Q: Will it help reduce wrinkles?
A: While it won’t erase wrinkles, the blend can temporarily smooth the appearance of fine lines by hydrating and plumping the skin’s surface.
Q: Can I use it around the eyes?
A: Avoid the eye area, as the skin there is very delicate and the coffee grounds may be too harsh.
