DIY Coffee Body Scrub

DIY Coffee Body Scrub

I love the smell of coffee in the morning but the caffeine can send me for such a loop! Sometimes I’ll brew it just for the “welcome to the morning!” aroma, then take the used coffee grounds into the shower for a wonderful, eye-opening body scrub. Bonus points if you actually get to drink the coffee!

DIY Coffee Grounds Body Scrub
5 tsp. ground coffee (used coffee grounds are fine)
1 tsp. sugar or salt
2 tsp. essential oil (avocado works well)

Mix ingredients together and using loofah rub in a circular motion all over your body. Leave on five minutes and then wash off.

I've tried it and it makes my skin smoother...
As for reducing cellulite, I think it might need several uses to see results

When using USED coffee grounds in a bath scrub can you make a large batch and store it or will it mold?
