We had to do a massive pantry clean out last weekend due to a critter invasion. During the cleanout, I found quite a few bags of random coffee grounds. Since we don’t use a coffee maker very often and I can’t stand throwing things away I decided to make a body scrub out of the grounds. I have heard the claims about coffee scrubs reducing cellulite due to the caffeine content however I just don’t buy it. But I do think the grounds make a great exfoliator and smelling coffee during a morning shower might be a nice way to start the day.
DIY Coffee Body Scrub
1 cup coffee grounds
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 almond oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
Mix coffee grounds and brown sugar together until well combined. Pour in the almond and melted coconut oil. Store in a air tight container. Use as a body or hand scrub. Enjoy!
Package up and you have yourself a cute little gift to give to a lucky someone this holiday season! This recipe fits perfectly into a 8 oz jam jar.
Be Happy, Be Healthy!
I recently came across 2 bags of coffee in the back of my pantry and both were expired. I will have to use them to try this scrub out. Great idea!
