I absolutely love body scrubs and this particular one is one of my favorites. I used this recipe at my last Beauty Rocks! event and it was an absolute hit. Both the coffee and the sugar have amazing exfoliation properties and antioxidants. The caffeine in the ground coffee is known to be a natural way to reduce the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins. This body scrub is economical, smells divine and leaves your skin super smooth and soft! Because there is cinnamon in this I would not advise you using this on your face. However, you can also use this on concentrated areas like your hands, elbows, knees and feet. I love to use this all over whenever my body needs this decadent treat! Be sure to apply to wet or damp skin. It's best to use this scrub in the shower if you're using it as a full body exfoliator. When you get out of the shower instead of immediately drying off with a towel; use the left over oil on your wet skin and allow it air dry to completely seal in the moisture. I suggest using a full body scrub once a week all over to help keep your skin exfoliated. You can use this on your hands and feet daily though. Your skin will thank you and you will smell so yummy :)
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 cup - Brown Sugar
- 1 cup - Ground Coffee (some use hazelnut for added aroma but regular is fine)
- 1/2 cup - White Sugar
- 1 cup - Olive Oil (or sweet almond, jojoba, coconut, etc)
- 2 tablespoons - Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon - Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon - Nutmeg
Step 1: Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl or container. If you're using the container you plan to store it in, be sure it is airtight.
Step 2: Pour in Olive Oil and Vanilla Extract. Make sure you stir as you go.
Step 3: Congrats!!! Your scrub is all ready. Be sure to rinse very well after you use.
Once you make this and try it, let me know if you love this body scrub as much as I do.
