There is something grounding about the smell of fresh coffee – it is familiar, energizing, and somehow comforting. This Coffee Body Scrub was inspired by intentional self-care and slow morning. Making skincare feel less like a chore and more like a moment of comfort. Coffee grounds will gently exfoliate the skin while the nourishing oils leave it soft, glowing, and even hydrated.
This recipe makes enough for a thoughtful gift, or a simple luxury to keep by your shower; this coffee body scrub can be used anytime of the year.

Why This Recipe Works
Coffee naturally exfoliates and can help improve circulation, while the sugar helps to polish the skin without being overly harsh. Sweet almond oil helps to leave the skin feeling soft, not striped, and it helps restore moisture.
