Imagine starting your day with the invigorating scent of coffee, not just in your mug, but also in your shower! Today, I’m excited to share my favorite DIY coffee sugar scrub recipe that will leave your skin feeling alive, refreshed, and oh-so-smooth.
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 airtight container for storage
Let’s Get Scrubbing!
- In your mixing bowl, combine the coarsely ground coffee and sugar. The coarse texture will provide that deep exfoliation you’re looking for!
- Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop until it’s just liquid.
- Pour the melted coconut oil over your coffee-sugar mixture.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. You should have a consistency that’s grainy but holds together.
- Transfer your scrub to an airtight container. It’s ready to use!
