Coffee is known to have all kinds of health benefits when consumed in moderation, but did you know that it also makes a great addition to your skincare routine? It's loaded with antioxidants and has been known to help diminish cellulite. When combined with coconut oil and essential oils, it will leave your skin feeling silky smooth and toned.
Bring the spa into your home and indulge yourself with these homemade coffee scrub bars. Self-care doesn't need to be complicated or time consuming!
Here's what you need:
- 1 cup coffee ground (left over from your morning joe or fresh ground will work)
- 1 cup coconut oil
- essential oils (optional)
- silicone molds of your choice
Here's what you do:
Melt coconut oil in microwave. Mix in coffee ground and add in any essential oils of your choice(recipe combination below). Pour into your molds and place in fridge until set.
When ready to use, take one scrub bomb into the shower with you. Once your skin is warm, begin working the bar all over the skin scrubbing as you go. I even use it on my face. Its fun and messy. Let the oils and grounds sit on your skin for a few minutes before washing off.
*you may need to rinse our shower walls down a bit too :).
Your skin will feel and look so amazing! I use these twice a week in the shower.
