COFFEE SKIN SCRUB

Coffee is one of the two most recognized aromatic flavors, the other being tea. Every now and then I think its good to participate in a little DIY...Coffee scrub happens to be my latest project.  

You must be asking why, right? Well, I realized that beside the fact that I was discarding copious amounts of coffee grounds every week, I wanted a new "smell good" product that was different than what I already had.  Something that I could use during my weekly bubble bath, pampering sessions. I needed something that would also not be too abrasive on my skin, though I'm no delicate flower, I don't like to give my skin an unnecessary beating if it can be prevented.  Insert, a coffee scrub!

It has been said that caffeine can assist with riding of cellulite. With this mixture, the coffee will act as a mild exfoliant. The translation, it will be easy on your skin.  The excess coffee will also draw out extra moisture from your skin, leaving it soft, plump and glowing!

What I like about this project:

+ Making this mixture is almost as effortless as taking a breath

+ Your skin will have a polished after-glow skin

+ The price? Nada...zero...zilch!!!

+ The potential benefits from use coffee for your skin

Okay, now this whole coffee-scrub thing is definitely a new trending topic, and we all know that trending topics come with a trending price!  I am all about luxury and pampering but sometimes, you gotta say enough is enough!  Let's face it, if you make coffee at your house then you can basically go into coffee-scrub production. If DIY isn't your thing...I got you!
