Another common use is as a hair rinse. Vinegar has long been known to help remove product buildup from hair, leaving it shiny and soft. When combined with coffee, this rinse can also help strengthen hair follicles, reduce hair loss, and even stimulate hair growth.
To make the rinse, simply brew a strong cup of coffee, let it cool, and mix it with a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Use it after shampooing and conditioning, and you’ll soon notice smoother, more manageable hair.
3. Exfoliating Scrub for Smooth Skin
Coffee grounds are excellent for exfoliation, and when mixed with vinegar, they create a gentle yet effective scrub that helps slough away dead skin cells. This natural scrub can improve circulation, leaving the skin looking radiant and refreshed. It’s an easy DIY beauty treatment that French women use to keep their skin smooth and glowing.
How to Use Coffee and Vinegar Safely
While the coffee-vinegar mix offers plenty of benefits, it’s important to use it correctly to avoid irritation. Vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, can be quite strong when undiluted, so always make sure to mix it with water or coffee before applying it to your skin or hair.
For sensitive skin, it’s best to do a patch test first to ensure you won’t have an allergic reaction. If you’re using the mixture as a toner or scrub, limit its use to once or twice a week to prevent over-exfoliating or drying out your skin.
