Let it Sit: Allow the mask to sit on your face for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water, using gentle circular motions to exfoliate your skin.
Pat Dry and Moisturize: Pat your face dry with a soft towel and follow up with your favorite moisturizer.

Honey: Add 1 teaspoon of honey for its moisturizing and antibacterial properties.
Yogurt: Substitute milk with plain yogurt for a thicker mask with added probiotics.
Olive Oil/Coconut Oil: Add a few drops of olive oil or coconut oil for extra hydration, especially if you have dry skin.
Skin Sensitivity: Always test a small amount of the mask on a less visible area of your skin (like your inner arm) before applying it to your entire face to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
Coffee Ground Fineness: Finely ground coffee is less abrasive than coarsely ground coffee. Adjust based on your skin's sensitivity and desired exfoliation level.
Use Fresh or Used Coffee Grounds: Both fresh and used coffee grounds can be used. Used coffee grounds may be slightly less abrasive.
