DIY coffee mud mask that is the perfect solution for oily skin

Looking to clear up skin and minimise oily pores? This mask is it!

Mud masks have been a staple in skincare for as long as we can remember. From helping to clear up our bumpy skin to minimising our oily pores, mud masks seem to be that one magical potion in our skincare cabinet that we reach out to every other week.

What’s even more interesting is the fact that you don’t always have to buy a tub of mud mask from a fancy store. You can whip up your own concoction easily, and customise it according to your skincare needs as well!

In this region, multani mitti or Fuller’s earth is arguably the most popular clay/mud to use as a face pack, and we all know the goodness of coffee grounds for brightening the skin. Here’s a great DIY mask you can make right at home to counter oily skin in this humid weather, as compiled from Pinkvilla.

You will need:

1 spoon coffee grounds 

2 spoons multani mitti

1 spoon rose water

1 spoon apple cider vinegar 

3 drops tea tree oil

Once you have all the ingredients at hand, you will need a large bowl to get going. Mix the multani mitti and coffee grounds together. Then add rose water, vinegar, and tea tree oil to this mixture, mixing it till it forms a thick paste. Apply this all over your face and let it sit for 20 minutes or till it dries.

Once you feel that it has dried enough, do not wash it off. Spritz your face with some water and proceed to rub it in a circular motion, scrubbing the skin gently. You can then wash it off with lukewarm water and pat it dry. Don’t forget to use a moisturiser after!
