Body Scrub with Coffee


I made tried this the other night. Amazing! My skin, which is normally dry feels very soft. Try it out! Check out some other homemade beauty recipes.

Exfoiliating is very important to keep your skin glowing all over your body. Missing this step wont allow your moisturizer to penetrate into your skin- here is the greatest moisturizing recipe that is VERY economical you’ll want to do it everyday!

You’ll Need:
1. Coffee/Espresso Grinds
2. 1/4 cup Sugar
3. 1/4 cup Olive Oil

We all know that coffee’s a great way to start your morning - But did you know that it’s long been used in spas as a secret ingredient in body scrubs? It’s true - the fresh grounds actually help to exfoliate the dead skin cells that lye on the surface of the skin, while the caffeine, believe it or not, is currently used as one of the main ingredients in treating cellulite.

So here’s an easy way to make your own coffee scrub:
Mix fresh coffee and/or espresso grinds with 1/1 cup sugar and 2 tbsp. olive oil - till you get a nice past consistency.

How to use:
Rub all over your body in the shower, till skin feels nice and soft - Concentrating on the upper thighs. Rinse off with warm water, followed by a light body wash. Use 2 to 3 times a week for best results.
