COFFEE BODY SCRUB RECIPE
This DIY coffee body scrub will leave your skin smooth and super hydrated. It helps to exfoliate your skin, giving it a nice golden glow.
Prep time: 5 mins // Total time: Serves: 4 applications
- ⅓ cup of organic whole brown sugar(cassonade, muscovado)
- ⅓ cup organic coconut oil (it needs to be cold and in solid form. If the coconut oil is melted put it in the fridge until it hardens.)
- ⅓ cup of organic liquid castile soap like Dr Bronners
- 2 tbs of organic ground coffee
- In a fast blender mix sugar and coconut oil until they are just blended. You don’t want to mix too long as this will break down the sugar and melt the coconut oil.
- Pour the sugar and coconut oil in an aluminum bowl placed in a another bowl filled with cold iced water
- Start whipping the scrub with an electric mixer until the scrub is fluffy and creamy
- Add the ground coffee and liquid soap until they are just combined.
- Put the scrub in a pretty container and use within 1 month.
- If it’s hot (more than 25C) in your apartment, keep it in the fridge. Otherwise you can leave it at room temperature.
- Use weekly in the morning shower as body scrub, gently scrub your body but avoid sensitive areas.
