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!
