Say goodbye to expensive, filled with yucky stuff, store bought scrub.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1/2 cup ground coffee (fresh, not brewed)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted but returned to room temperature
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 10-20 drops of essential oil
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and enjoy!!!
Benefits of Homemade Coffee Scrub:
- Cheaper than store bought
- No fillers, phthalates, parabens, etc.
- Exfoliation
- Reduces appearance of cellulite
- Improved circulation
- Smells divine
- Gives skin that glowy look
- Coconut oil is hydrating and nourishing
- Depending on what essential oils you use, you'll also have the added health benefits of those! Some essential oil ideas:
- peppermint and orange for energizing and refreshing
- ylang ylang for antioxidant and rejuvenating power
- lavender for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties
I personally only use Young Living Essential Oils because their therapeutic grade products are unparalleled and I feel totally safe using them. You can see more about their kits here and get your own here.
And if you want to watch the video of me actually making the scrub you can watch that on Facebook or Youtube!
