COFFEE AS A BODY SCRUB
Coffee is one of my favorite ingredients for a body scrub. The caffeine in coffee has been known to diminish the appearance of cellulite and tighten and tone your skin. Additionally, coffee grounds can act as an excellent exfoliant when gently rolled over the skin. Using a coffee body scrub smooths and stimulates the skin giving it a glow. The perfect recipe to use before a fancy event if you are wearing a dress or something sleeveless.
I also love the DIY Coffee & Green Tea Facial Serum. They are the perfect pair to have in your skincare regimen. The coffee and green tea serum has healing properties that are so helpful for the skin. Additionally, it can help with discoloration and toning. Why not make them both?
WORDS OF CAUTION
Be careful as the oil in the scrub can make the surface of your tub slippery. Also, some coffee grounds go down the drain, and sometimes the coffee grains get everywhere. You can back off the coffee and add more sugar if you prefer. Also, never use a scrub on damaged or irritated skin.
Enjoy!
