The Skin Nerd: Coffee grounds are not the answer for dry skin

Using coffee grounds as an exfoliant can do more harm than good.

Skin Nerd: Leave it off your face - save the coffee grounds for any rough foot skin you may have and instead opt for enzymatic exfoliation

Dear Skin Nerd,

I've noticed blotchy dry patches on my cheeks and around my chin. I haven't changed my skincare regime. I wonder should I try an exfoliator? I have quite sensitive skin so I don't want anything abrasive or harsh. Can you recommend a gentle one — or is there any home masks I could make myself? I heard coffee grinds are good!
