How to Make Organic Coffee Scrub
DIY Coffee Scrub is one of the easiest, most sustainable skincare recipes you can create at home. Not only does it smell amazing and feel indulgent, but you won’t break the bank or need an extensive list of ingredients either! Plus, creating one yourself means no preservatives will be added that might otherwise be found in store-bought versions!
Making this part of your daily ritual can help you feel more grounded, connected, and energized. With only three ingredients needed for this simple coffee scrub recipe, this ritual will allow you to uncover your inner glow with each skin treatment treatment!
Coffee is a natural exfoliator that can unclog pores, remove dead skin cells and promote new cell growth. By massaging a coffee scrub into your skin, it can stimulate circulation and leave your face looking brighter while simultaneously providing an uplifting scent to wake you up each morning!
@LifenReflection’s DIY scrub contains only natural, wholesome ingredients for optimal skin hydration. Made of shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil – it provides deep moisturization while giving skin the love it needs! Ideal for both face and body use; your skin will love how great it feels after using!
Make an organic coffee scrub using just 2 cups of natural raw sugar and 1/4 cup of coarsely ground coffee grounds from used coffee grounds (for maximum gritty texture), followed by pouring 3/4 cup of organic cold-pressed virgin coconut oil and whisking it until you achieve a thick, similar to wet sand texture.
Just before serving, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired. I have experimented with various essential oil flavors such as lavender, sage and bergamot but found the classic vanilla complementing coffee, sugar and coconut oil scent perfectly! For an added burst of energy you could also try adding in one or two drops of peppermint oil!
Once your mixture is complete, transfer your homemade coffee scrub to a glass jar with an airtight lid for storage in either the fridge or bathroom and use as needed – this DIY beauty product should last several months with regular usage!
If you want to reduce your environmental impact, one way is to purchase ingredients from local farmers and suppliers. Doing this not only cuts emissions but also supports farmers who work tirelessly in producing high-quality organic ingredients!
