Are you a coffee lover who hates to waste those precious coffee grounds after brewing your morning cup? How about putting them to good use and making a coffee sugar body scrub instead? This exfoliating scrub is easy to put together and a delight to use, making it the perfect addition to your self-care routine.
To make the most of your scrub, use organic coffee like Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee. You want to make sure that your scrub is free from any potentially harmful chemicals and mold, and using organic coffee checks both of those boxes.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of used, dried coffee grounds
- 1 cup of white or brown sugar
- 1 cup of melted coconut oil
Instructions:
- Mix the coffee and sugar together in a bowl.
- Stir in the melted coconut oil until everything is evenly combined.
- The scrub is now ready to use!
To use the scrub, gently apply it to your skin and rub in circular motions. Avoid the areas around your eyes to prevent irritation. Leave the scrub on for a few minutes before rinsing it off completely to avoid any residue left on your skin.
Want to give a thoughtful homemade gift to a friend? Wrap up your coffee sugar body scrub nicely and gift it with a bag of Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee, so they can make their own scrub later and enjoy a pure and clean coffee experience!
Variations:
The recipe for a coffee sugar body scrub is versatile, and you can personalize it according to your preferences. Here are some ideas:
- Add oats to the mixture to give it a nicer texture and fuller experience
- Experiment with different oils, such as evening primrose oil
- Add various extracts, such as peppermint or vanilla, for additional character
- Try using salt instead of sugar for a different exfoliating method
Making a coffee sugar body scrub is not only a luxurious experience but is also sustainable and budget-friendly. So, next time you brew your coffee, don't throw away those coffee grounds, instead, put them to good use and indulge yourself in a spa-like treatment at home.
