diy coffee scrub


The caffeine in coffee grounds is supposedly a cellulite fighting agent. So this morning I decided to recycle some of my grounds and make a body scrub. If you don't mind the smell of coffee filling your bathroom, give this a try (warning: it's messy)!

  • Grounds from a full pot of coffee
  • A few tablespoons of coconut oil, melted
  • A few tablespoons of organic white sugar (the organic is not as refined as regular white sugar so it makes for a better scrub ingredient)
  • Mix together in a container 
  • Scrub away!

I have no clue if this actually works as an anti-cellulite scrub, but it makes your skin nice and smooth after regardless. 

If you don't want the mess (or don't trust my recipe), this is a great alternative from Amber's Organics: Organic Dark Chocolate with Coffee Anti-Cellulite Body Scrub
