HOW TO MAKE A COFFEE BODY SCRUB

I have shared the process of “How to make a coffee body scrub” for healthy glowing skin in this post. When it comes to a homemade body scrub, I feel, this scrub works excellently, at least for me.

Using body scrubs gives a nice healthy glow, improves blood circulation and also helps in getting rid of strawberry skin and ingrown hair related problems. The process of making the body scrub is shared in this post.

  INGREDIENTS OF THE COFFEE BODY SCRUB:

• COFFEE

  Coffee contains caffeine which is an excellent ingredient to add to your daily skincare routine. It helps in brightening and tightening the skin and thus acts as a firming agent for the body. Caffeine helps in the reduction of inflammation and has anti-ageing property. Calming the skin comes as a result of the usage of coffee. Any kind of coffee can be used as long as it is in a smooth granular form.

• BROWN SUGAR

  -Brown sugar granules provide excellent scrubbing material for the skin. It contains glycolic acid and is an excellent humectant. Thus it helps in removing the dead skin cells without stripping the moisture. Brown sugar is an anti-tanning and anti-bacterial agent.

• COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil is high in fatty acids like lauric acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid and as a result, it is an excellent brightening agent for the skin. The lauric acid present in coconut oil helps in fighting several skin infections and thus it can kill microorganisms which can cause skin related problems like athletes foot, flaky skin etc.

Coconut oil, thus, helps in reducing inflammation and is a very good moisturizer for the skin. When applied directly to the skin, it helps in moisturizing and making it supple, smooth.  A good quality cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil is required for this scrub.

METHOD OF MAKING THE  COFFEE BODY SCRUB 

• Coffee-  1 teaspoon of the coffee powder
• Brown Sugar-  1 Teaspoon of brown sugar
• Coconut oil- 3 teaspoon of cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil.
• Mix these ingredients in a small bowl.

PROCESS:

You should massage the coffee body scrub in a circular motion slowly and gently on the body including knees and elbows. Do not be harsh and massage vigorously or else, skin tissues might get damaged. Gentle massage in circular motion ensures an even blood flow and thus results in bright and smooth skin. Keep the body scrub for 5 to 10 minutes and then wash it off with a nice body wash or a mild soap.

RESULTS AFTER USING THE COFFEE BODY SCRUB:

Regular usage of this easy homemade coffee body scrub helps in getting healthy glowing skin all over the body. As a result of regular usage, it gives a smooth supple effect and acts as an anti-ageing agent. Regular usage can prevent strawberry skin, inflamed skin and can get rid of ingrown hairs, pigmentation, flaky and dry skin.
