Coffee Sugar Scrub

I know I know, I've been away too long. I promise I will keep up now.

Today I'm going to give away this awesome recipe for a body scrub. It gets off old dead skin and also revitalizes your body afterwards. I am absolutely in love with this scrub and try to use it at least once a week if not more if I feel that I really need it.


So what I do is I take one cup give or take of coconut oil, the same brand from my tanning oil. I mix it with my mixer until it gets all soft frothy and thick. Then I mix in 10 drops of peppermint essential oil, I use the NOW brand. Add in the coffee and sugar then mix it another couple of minutes with the mixer. I have a small ice tray that I use only for these scrub cubes and usually one is all I need. I leave them in the freezer indefinitely just in a freezer safe zipper bag once they have formed the cube shape and I get them out around 5-10 minutes before I get into the shower.

So just to go back over.

-1 cup coconut oil
-1/2 cup coffee
-1/4 cup sugar
- 10 drops of peppermint oil


I have tried adding in lavender essential oil to, with use before bed in the shower if you would like those but do not mix a coconut smelling coconut oil with lavender the smell is very... Different, and not in a good way.

These are by far the best body scrubs I have used, and not because I made them but because I would rather have something I know the ingredients of rubbing my skin and how amazing the benefits of both coffee and coconut oil are for the skin. :)

 --I promise I will add a picture of a couple of mine later.
