Coffee grounds can be mixed with a little water to make a paste. The paste can be gently applied under the eyes and left on for about 10 minutes. The caffeine helps to constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness, and the exfoliating properties can lighten the skin under the eyes.

Face mask

Coffee grounds can be mixed with a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of lemon juice. The mask should be applied to the face, avoiding the eye area, and left on for 10 minutes. Coffee grounds will help absorb excess oil and cleanse pores, while honey and lemon juice will provide antibacterial action and refresh the skin.
