Make Your Own Coffee Body Scrub

If you are interested in creating an easy home beauty remedy, then you are in luck because you have the convenience of using an ingredient that you can find within your own kitchen cabinets - coffee!

Here are the ingredients needed for this easy homemade coffee body scrub:
• 2/3 tbsp. Essential oil
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 cups Coffee grounds

Make sure that you are using fresh coffee grounds, and blend all of the ingredients together in a bowl. You do have the option of adding more custom ingredients to create your own special recipe, like brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, or perfume oils.

You can use brown sugar to add an even more granulated texture to the scrub for better exfoliation, and cinnamon, vanilla extract, or perfume oils will add a deeper scent. You do need to be careful of using perfume oils if you have sensitive skin because they can irritate certain skin types.
