Treat puffy eyes
Most mornings, irrespective of how many cups of coffee you take, you’d realize although not sleepy, you’d look really sleepy. Now, there are quite a number of tricks to get rid of dark circles. The caffeine in coffee explains the mystery of its effective use since it helps to improve blood circulation. All you’d have to do is mix some of the coffee grounds with water or olive oil, then carefully apply the mix around the eye, leave on for about fifteen minutes and wash off. In no time, you’re awake and you’d look awake.
Repel insects
Apparently, insects, especially ants and fleas are no fans of coffee. This in fact, makes the drink quite useful. Just position a cup of coffee grounds in strategic places to repel the insects. The coffee grounds can also be used as a kind of candle lighting to repel mosquitoes, especially during summer although you would need to be careful with the fire.
