DIY Coffee Sugar Scrub
The smell of coffee is one of the best ones out there, so why not incorporate it in an invigorating home made sugar scrub to help perk you up in the morning and keep your skin soft? Coffee scrubs have reportedly been used to reduce cellulite, with the caffeine in the coffee having an additional tightening effect, so why not make your own? It’s easy!
Ingredients
- 3 tbs ground coffee (recycled or fresh)
- 2 tbs oil (coconut is popular but you can use any oil)
- 1 tbs sugar (I used granulated sugar)
Optional Ingredients
If you want to add some extra fragrance to your scrub add some of the following to make a really personal mix.
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Cocoa powder
- Honey
Directions
- If required melt oil, and allow it to cool but not solidify.
- Mix oil, sugar and coffee grounds together, you can add more of one ingredient if the mix is too wet or too dry.
- Store in an airtight container or mason jar.
- Apply your scrub to areas with cellulite and massage skin in a circular motion before rinsing.
