I've never really used body scrub and to be honest I always thought it sounded like a waste of time and money, but I was bored the other day and thought I'd try to make one. I'd read how coffee body scrubs are extra great because the caffeine helps with skin elasticity and cellulite and such (supposedly) so I figured I'd start there.
After trying my concoction I dubbed it Magic Mud because it was SO amazing. I have some dry skin issues but after using this just once it was a drastic change, all smooth and soft! It certainly converted me into a body scrub believer. So here's the recipe, I strongly encourage you to try it out! It is really easy to switch up too so mix however you feel works best!
4 T used coffee (you can use dry coffee, but why waste good coffee?)
1/2 c white or brown sugar
1 T olive oil
1.5 T water (optional - less water will equal a courser scrub)
Lavender (you can also use essential oils, other herbs or any spices)
Mix the coffee and sugar. Mix in the olive oil and water. Cut up the lavender and mix in.
For use, it's recommended to soak or stand in a hot shower before applying, rub on in circles, rinse, and embrace your new soft skin! Store in a jar and use once a month or as often as you like. And enjoy! It will settle after sitting for a bit, so stir before each use.
Stay Lovely,
Katelin
