The final mixture is intended to be used as a face mask or scrub to achieve “Bright & Clear Skin.”
Note on Efficacy and Safety:
The combination of coffee and lemon juice is a popular, albeit unproven, home remedy for skin care.
Coffee: The fine grounds in instant coffee can act as a physical exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells. The caffeine in coffee is also sometimes said to temporarily reduce puffiness.
Lemon Juice: Lemon juice contains citric acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that can help to chemically exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. However, it can be very irritating and photosensitizing (meaning it makes your skin more sensitive to the sun), and using it on the face can lead to chemical burns, especially for those with sensitive skin.
