During those mythical warm days, I shared this summery sugar scrub.
Now, don’t be put off by the concoction at left that resembles mud and sand or worse… It’s sugar, oil and coffee… the makings of the perfect winter treat. For your skin.
I’ve been using coconut-sugar scrubs all season, and it’s worked pretty well for holding in moisture and exfoliating away dead cells. For the holidays it was a minty blend that smelled like candy canes. Then I tried a simple vanilla scent. Now, I wanted to warm it up with something rich, and coffee seemed just the thing.
So, here’s the list:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup coffee, ground a bit coarsley
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
- Drizzle of olive oil (or almond, apricot, etc)
- 1 drop pure vanilla extract
Mix it all up, plop it in a jar, cover and keep handy for baths and showers. You’re going to smell delicious.
