Gather Your Ingredients
Here is a table of the ingredients you’ll need and the quantities:
| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dried Coffee Grounds | 1 cup | Used grounds, air-dried on a baking tray. |
| Raw Sugar | 1 cup | Helps to exfoliate skin. |
| Coconut Oil | 1/4 cup | Melted; moisturizes skin and helps bind ingredients. |
Step-by-step Instructions
- Dry the coffee grounds: Start with used coffee grounds from your french press or other brewing method. Spread them out on a baking tray and allow them to air dry completely. This prevents mold growth in your scrub.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add one cup of dried coffee grounds and one cup of raw sugar. Mix these together thoroughly.
- Melt the coconut oil: Measure out 1/4 cup of coconut oil and melt it. You can do this in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the melted coconut oil over the coffee ground and sugar mixture. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the oil.
- Store the scrub: Transfer the mixture to an airtight jar. Your coffee scrub is now ready to use!
How to Use Your Coffee Scrub
- Take a small amount of the scrub into your hand.
- Gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions, focusing on areas that need exfoliation.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Your skin should feel smooth and refreshed after use.
This coffee scrub is not only affordable but also very effective in exfoliating and moisturizing the skin. Remember to air dry the coffee grounds before use and store the scrub in an airtight container.
