DIY Coffee Scrub

I love making scrubs at home! And my husband,
(who is an amazing licensed massage therapist lol),
has made a ton in some of his massage classes back in the day.
He brought some home to me and I recreated them and made my own.
This one I am sharing with you isn't a secret at all and its probably one of the most popular coffee scrubs out there! Super easy and great for your skin.
I also found a Coffee Bomb that I want to try to make. that is supposed to be good for cellulite...
May be worth a try. But on to this one!

The Ingredients you will need:
1 Cup Ground Coffee
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 - 1/2 Cup of Almond Oil
1/4 Tsp Vitamin E Oil

Putting it all together:
1. Combine Ingredients in a small bowl.
2. To use: Wet your skin, and apply scrub to skin. 
You can use a small spoon or scoop to get the scrub out of your jar or cup.
 I keep mine in a small mason jelly jar.
3. Gently rub your scrub onto your skin in a circular motion. 
This feels good and removes dry/dead skin.
4. Clean off as much as you can with a paper towel or warm wash cloth.
Then wash away the rest in the shower.

Extra Info:
When using the Almond Oil, start with about 1/4 cup and you can add more depending on your texture preference. I usually use 1/4 cup and a tsp or so more. I don't like it to be too oily, so 1/2 cup doesn't work for me but you might like that more!!

Also, make one batch at a time and use within 2-4 Weeks!!

I hope you try this at home and enjoy it as much as me! 
P.s. For a different smell and added benefit, you could always use a couple drops of your fave Essential Oil. Totally up to you.

I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL!!
