DIY Beauty Recipe: Body Scrub — Coffee and Cinnamon

It's super easy to make your own body scrub. This recipe is formulated to help smooth skin and minimize the appearance of cellulite. The caffeine from the coffee helps shrink cells and tighten skin temporarily.

Coffee and Cinnamon Sugar Scrub Recipe
1 cup Ground Coffee (you want the caffeinated kind)
1 cup Sugar
4 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
2 tbsp Cocoa Butter (or Coconut Oil)

  1. Mix all ingredients well.
    Warm the oil for a few seconds to make it soft enough to blend with the other ingredients. 
  2. Apply to your skin during the shower, making sure to massage the scrub onto the skin.
    Massage the areas with cellulite, as this action helps temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. 
  3. Rinse clean.
    Place a paper coffee filter over the shower drain before you rinse. This will help catch the grounds to avoid plumbing issues later.
