1. Natural Exfoliating Scrub
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coffee grounds (used or fresh)
- 1/2 cup flour (any type, though finer flours like rice or oat flour are gentler on the skin)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil (optional, for added moisture)
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the coffee grounds and flour in a bowl. If using, add the coconut oil or olive oil to the mixture and blend well.
- Apply as a Scrub: Use the mixture as an exfoliating scrub in the shower or bath. Gently massage onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse off with warm water.
- Store: Store any leftover scrub in an airtight container for future use.
Benefits:
- Exfoliation: The coffee grounds help exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and refreshed.
- Moisturizing: Adding oil to the mixture helps moisturize and nourish the skin.
- Antioxidants: Coffee contains antioxidants that can benefit your skin by reducing inflammation and improving circulation.
