DIY Coffee Grounds Body Scrub

My sister is, and always has been, my beauty mentor.  Whenever I've had  a beauty ailment (which is a weekly occurrence,) I've always been able to count on her to steer me in the right direction.  Whether it be over plucked brows, breakouts or a lackluster complexion, she always seems to have a remedy in hand.  Her latest beauty advice for me was a body scrub using coffee grounds. This DIY body scrub was honestly one of the easiest and most enjoyable beauty adventures I've been on in a long time.  I got to enjoy a delicious cup cup of coffee then indulge in an amazingly effective...and cheap at home spa treatment.  I just took the leftover grounds into the shower with me and rubbed it all over my body.  The coffee grounds make a really gentle scrub, but also does a great job of exfoliating.  Caffeine is also known to be a fantastic anti-cellulite treatment. The strong smell of coffee in the shower also gave me an energy boost.  I do have to caution that the coffee grounds do tend to get very messy in the shower so it's a good idea to create more of a paste by combining it with olive oil...or shower oil.  My skin was soft and incredibly smooth and the best thing of all is that it did not cost me a thing!

If anyone owns a Keurig coffee maker, one of those brewed Keurig cups is enough for a full body scrub and less messy in the bathroom!

Thanls for the tip Mandy! Elizabeth, I did not have any issues with it going down the drain…but if you do one option would be to do a dry scrub over a towel or old blanket instead of in the shower

That was definitely one of the best scrubs I’ve ever used!To make that smooth feeling last and make my skin feel even better, I indulge in some luxurious moisturizer afterwards.It’s also great to use in a pedicure.

I’ve heard great things about coffee scrubs. One question: Do you have issues with it going down the shower drain?
