Coffee can do wonders for your skin. Loaded with antioxidants, coffee can help exfoliate and brighten your complexion.
This is a simple and effective recipe that uses items you probably already have (and gives you something to do with used coffee grounds, too).
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons of Used Coffee Grounds
- 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar
Olive oil helps nourish and moisturize and brown sugar aids in cleansing the skin and is a gentle way to exfoliate.
Mix ingredients in a sealable container (if you have leftovers you can save and reuse at a later date) using a spoon, Popsicle stick or even your clean finger. Apply gently to wet skin in circular motions. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Have you ever tried a coffee scrub before?
I have heard that coffee is good for skin. This sounds like an invigorating body scrub.
Love coffee scrubs. I have even added some wild orange essential oil! What a delicious smell
I love this!!! I’m going to try it out tonight!!! Thanks for ageing looks great
This is such a great idea! I love coffee and we have lots of used coffee grounds. I see myself making and using this scrub next week.
this is very nice! i am totally in love anything coffee, even my own ice cream is coffee flavoured haha. nice to know about this recipe thanks for sharing with us
I’ve used coffee scrubs before and really enjoyed them. I love this simple and easy recipe that I can make at home!
Coffee does wonders for our skin, if you use it externally. I think this is a lovely scrub to make for yourself or for family and friends! I’m definitely keeping the recipe.
Ooh, body and face scrubs are one of my favorite weekly indulgences. I bet the coffee makes this scrub smell amazing! Trying this!
I have yet to try using a coffee scrub as a skin-care regimen. It should be effective because I have a male friend who asks for the used coffee grounds from coffee shops. He swears by it and has been doing the coffee scrub routine for year. I love how simple it is to make the scrub.
I’ve never actually heard of doing this before, but I love trying new DIY beauty techniques. Will definitely give this a try!
Such a great idea to re-purpose coffee grounds! My boyfriends gets through so much coffee, it would be great to have another use for it. At the moment I use it as compost, but why should the plants get all the benefit!
No, i haven’t tried one yet. I’d not be adverse to it though, by any means!
I love using a coffee scrub on my body! I purchased Frank scrub before and loved it so much. It did wonders for my rough patches on my arms! And it just smells amazing!
This looks super easy to make and I really like that it is face and body. The best part is the coffee. Bolt of energy if I use it in the morning
It’s always amazing to me how much we will pay for a premade product when we can make it ourselves, without allt he added harmful gunk, for so much less. Great info thanks for sharing!
Oh i love this idea. I’m going to give this a try myself. Thanks!
I’d definitely be willing to try that out! I imagine it would exfoliate beautifully.
I have not tried a coffee ground scrub before. It sounds like something I would love to make and try. Thanks for sharing.
When I make body scrubs, I always use brown sugar! I have been wanting to try olive oil!
I love making my own body scrubs! This one looks particularly great.
Ah coffee! So many wonderful uses!
DIY scrubs are the best! I’ve heard about how coffee grounds help brighten the skin. I can’t wait to try this.
Only 3 ingredients, how handy! I’ve never made my own scrubs, but I am pretty tempted now. 🙂 Especially since some scrubs are so pricey!
I love beauty products that you can make at home. This one’s easy to do! I’m going to try this during the weekend.
Oh, wow! Now I have something else to do with my coffee aside from drinking it! Thanks for sharing!
This is fabulous! I make my own salt scrubs but they are too rough for my face. I’m going to try this.
Oh. I really like this idea. I’ve never tried it before, but now I will for sure. thank you for sharing!
Oooo. I will have to do this one/ I do have an abundance of coffee grounds here.
