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
