Homemade coffee scrub

Recently, I've been doing a lot of reading up about using natural or homemade skin and hair treatments. There are literally over thousands of recipes online. And so I decided to make this my first post. 

This is one of the first things I tried out and boy was I happy with the results. It is a homemade coffee body scrub. Honestly I wasn't too precise with my measurements so this is roughly what I used I did adapt it a bit by adding jojoba oil. Which I had lying around. If you have not heard about this oil it is pronounced as ho-ho-ba and is great for skin. It helps with conditions like acne and sunburn. But if you don't have it don't stress. This scrub will remove all the dead skins cells and the coffee is suppose to reduce the appearance of cellulite. I guess you will have to do quite a few treatments to see this. But after my first time using this scrub my skins was very soft and smooth. 

Home made body scrub recipe

1/2 cup fresh coffee grounds(took this out of my coffee machine after I had made some coffee)
1/4 cup brown sugar or white if you don't have brown
1 tblspn of raw honey( I heated mine till it was a runny consistency)
1 tblspn of Olive oil
few drops of jojoba oil(optional)

 This is how the scrub will look like once you are done:)

This is the coffee grounds.

I used brown sugar but white will work just as well. Just be sure not to be too rough when you are using this scrub as the sugar can be abrasive.

Raw honey

I heat the honey a little till it is this liquid consistency which helps to mix it. I then added the oils and gave it a good stir. I usually make this as a single batch and use it in one go. I'm going to make a bit extra and see how long it lasts for.

Your body will feel moisturized and soft just remember when applying the scrub rub it in a circular motion.

PS: this can be quite a messy job so be sure to do it in the shower or bath tub.

Till next time
