Coffee Scrub

Coffee Scrub

2 cups dry coffee grounds (don’t use instant coffee)

1/2 cup brown sugar or raw sugar

2/3 to 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Put coffee and brown sugar in a bowl and mix them.

Add the olive oil until it coats the coffee and brown sugar but doesn’t feel too wet.

Apply to a slightly damp skin and scrub away.

Use it twice a week and you’ll see a significant change to your skin texture after a week of use.

~~I mix ½ -1 tsp. coffee scrub mix with a little lemon juice to make a runny paste and very, very gently use as a face scrub.~~ One of my favorite face scrubs!

Sweet & Spicy Sugar Scrub

Sweet & Spicy Sugar Scrub

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white granulated sugar
¾ cup almond, hazelnut, or coconut oil
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons nutmeg

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients. Using a whisk, blend ingredients thoroughly, making sure to break up any lumps of brown sugar or spice. Place into container.

Lemon Body Scrub

Lemon Body Scrub

2 cups fine sea salt or sugar

1 Tbsp. lemon zest

½ cup olive oil

Combine all ingredients together in mixing bowl; transfer to storage container.

Sugar Scrub for Body

Sugar Scrub

1 ¼ cups sugar

½ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil or Coconut oil

3 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice

Combine ingredients well. Store in sealed container. DO NOT omit citrus juice, as this prevents the sugar from dissolving in the oil. You can add more sugar to thicken, or more oil to thin--depends on the consistency you prefer. I have used this for almost a year with wonderful results.

Just scrub it in with circular scrubbing motion and rinse off…be ready for softer, smoother skin!

~I occasionally use this on my face (gently) when I have really dry patches in the fall and winter, with no problems.~
