Ingredients
  

Scrub Base
  • 1 cup ground coffee fresh or used (dried)
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional for scent
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Airtight jar
  • Spoon
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. If using coconut oil, melt it gently until liquid, then let it cool to room temperature so it does not dissolve the sugar.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coffee grounds, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Whisk to remove any lumps.
  3. Pour the cooled coconut oil and vanilla extract over the dry mixture.
  4. Mix well using a spoon or spatula until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  5. Transfer to an airtight jar or container.
  6. To use: Massage onto wet skin in circular motions, let sit for 2-3 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Notes

Be careful in the shower as the oil can make the floor slippery.
