Ingredients:
1 cup of Organic Coffee Grounds:
Choose finely ground coffee for a gentle exfoliation. The coarseness of coffee grounds helps in removing dead skin cells.
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar:
Brown sugar adds an extra layer of exfoliation and is a natural source of glycolic acid, promoting healthy and youthful skin.
1/2 cup of Coconut Oil (or any carrier oil of your choice):
Coconut oil is deeply moisturizing and nourishing for the skin. It also helps bind the scrub together.
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract:
Vanilla adds a delightful scent to the scrub, providing a calming and soothing aroma during the application.
Airtight Jar or Container:
To store your scrub and maintain its freshness.
Instructions:
Brew the Coffee:
Make a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool. You can use the grounds left in your coffee maker for this recipe.
Combine Coffee Grounds and Brown Sugar:
In a mixing bowl, combine the organic coffee grounds and brown sugar. Stir the mixture well to ensure an even exfoliation.
Add Coconut Oil:
Melt the coconut oil and pour it into the coffee and sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a consistent, moist texture.
Incorporate Vanilla Extract:
Add the vanilla extract for a delightful fragrance. Stir the mixture well, making sure the vanilla is evenly distributed.
Transfer to an Airtight Container:
Spoon the mixture into an airtight jar or container. Seal it tightly to preserve the freshness of your scrub.
How to Use:
- Wet your skin with warm water to open up pores.
- Scoop out a small amount of the coffee scrub and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions.
- Focus on areas that need extra exfoliation, like elbows, knees, and heels.
- Leave the scrub on for a few minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic.
- Rinse off with warm water and pat your skin dry.
- Follow up with your favorite moisturizer for silky smooth skin.
Note:
- Use the scrub 2-3 times a week for best results.
- Perform a patch test before using the scrub to ensure you don’t have any allergies or adverse reactions to the ingredients.
Enjoy the rejuvenating and aromatic experience of your homemade coffee-infused scrub, leaving your skin exfoliated, moisturized, and glowing!
