Coffee body scrub
Be the first to rate it
Coffee grounds, brown sugar and melted coconut oil. Wipe it off with a towel rather than rinsing it down the drain.
What You’ll Need
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
- A few drops vitamin E oil
- 1/4 cup ground coffee beans
- 1/4 cup brown or white sugar
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- mason jars
Directions
- Melt the coconut oil in a glass container, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- When it is melted, or nearly so, stir in the vitamin E oil and grapeseed oil.
- Stir in the coffee grounds and sugar until blended. If the scrub is too dry, add a little more grapeseed oil. If it is too wet, add a little more sugar.
- Keep stirring until you no longer see lumps of coffee or sugar.
- Spoon into a jar or another container.
Notes
Apply, then wipe off gently with a towel; remove leftover sugar or oil with a damp washcloth. Don’t use it in the shower: coffee grounds don’t break down and can clog drains, and the coffee may stain towels. Keep in a cool, dark place, no longer than one to two weeks because of the coffee. It can burn slightly if left on the face a long time, so don’t leave it on sensitive skin. Safety: patch test; not for broken skin; oily floors are slippery.
