DIY Coffee Scrub for Smooth and Glowing Skin

Hello natural beauties! Today’s post is this amazing DIY coffee scrub for smooth and glowing skin! You have got to add it to your self-care routine at least once a week because it really gives tired-looking skin the wake up boost it needs!

4 Benefits of Using a DIY Coffee Scrub 

1.     Exfoliates Skin 

Ground coffee and brown sugar have a slight abrasive texture that help to slough off dead cells and grime, on top of the skin and from within skin pores. 

Brown sugar also contains glycolic acid that has a gentle exfoliating action.

By exfoliating the skin, a coffee scrub helps reveal new soft and smooth skin underneath. This smooth skin is a perfect base for applying skin care and makeup. 

2.     Perks Up Dull Skin 

Gently scrubbing a coffee scrub on your skin can wash away the signs of skin fatigue. If your skin is looking dull and tired, scrub away! It will become perky in no time! 

3.     Reduces Cellulite 

Research shows that caffeine and its derivatives are used in anticellulite skin care due to their lipolytic activity on fatty cells. This means it reduces the appearance of cellulite when used consistently. This is great news because this DIY coffee scrub contains a lot of caffeine! 

4.    Tightens Skin

Caffeine in coffee has astringent and diuretic effects that help skin appear taut and tight. This is amazing for those who want their skin to look youthful!

5. To use, get a few scoops of the coffee scrub into a bowl and take it to the shower with you. 

How to Use this DIY Coffee Scrub

1. Wet your skin in the shower before using this DIY coffee scrub. I like to use this scrub after I have finished soaping and cleansing my body so I work with cleansed skin. 
2. Massage the coffee scrub onto clean wet skin in circular motions, focusing on areas that have cellulite such as the arms, stomach, thighs and butt. You can take the time and massage it in for a few minutes.
3. Once you have gently scrubbed the targeted areas rinse it off with warm water. 
4. Pat dry with a towel. Your skin will be moisturized and feel rejuvenated!
