Vanilla Coffee Body Scrub
I made this coffee scrub as part of the mother’s day gifts I gave to my mom and a few friends. it smells absolutely divine & leaves your skin silky smooth- needless to say, i’ve been getting recipe requests!
Coffee grounds are incredibly beneficial for skin- just a few of the benefits include:
reduces the appearance of cellulite
moisturizes, firms, & rejuvenates
exfoliates dead skin cells
the fragrances of coffee & vanilla are a match made in heaven but vanilla essential oil also boasts some positive effects for your well-being including:
supporting relaxation
reducing heart rate & blood pressure
relieving muscle tension
to make this scrub you’ll need:
1 cup ground coffee (look for organic & local if possible to avoid mold exposure)
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup fractionated coconut oil (you could also use sweet almond oil or jojoba oil)
¼ cup vitamin E oil (stabilizes the scrub & slightly extends the shelf life)
20-30 drops vanilla essential oil (add to fragrance preference)
airtight glass jar
combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, stirring to completely saturate the mixture.
pour the mixture into the glass jar & it’s ready to use!
