Homemade Coffee Sugar Scrub

3/23/2013

1 Comment

 
I am all for fun home remedies that actually work! This one was given to me from my coworker and I love it! I make it once a week and apply it in the shower.

1 teaspoon organic ground coffee
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon organic virgin coconut oil


Mix sugar and coffee w/ coconut oil to make a thick, grainy paste.  Gently rub/massage it onto skin and face.
Rinse off w/warm water, ending with a splash of cold (to shrink pores). Pat skin dry. 

**Tub will be slippery due to the coconut oil; wash shower out right away so coffee doesn't stain it.

I did a little research on the health effects of coffee on the skin:
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Helps get rid of under-eye circles or darkness
  • Helps get rid of cellulite
  • Tones & smoothes skin

And of course coconut oil:
  • Prevents premature aging
  • Repairs damaged tissue
  • Natural moisturizer
  • Helps treat skin problems
  • Proven antiseptic & antimicrobial
  • Delays, prevents wrinkles

And that is just a few....... !!!!!!!
