Ingredients needed
- Fresh ground coffee
- White granulated sugar
- Coconut oil
- Pure vanilla extract
Normally homemade coffee scrub will last up anywhere from two to three months as long as it's stored properly.
Also, when using sugar scrubs, your shower or tub may be a little slippery so use caution when using it.
If you've never used a coffee scrub on your skin before, make sure to test it on a small area as it may be too harsh for your skin.
You can use either used coffee grounds or fresh. I have never used used grounds before so I can't attest to how they work. However, if you have, leave a comment so we know how that works.
Coffee scrub, like any sugar scrub, shouldn't be used every day. A few times a week is enough. Plus, coffee grounds can stick to the coconut oil and cause a blockage in your pipes. We go into detail in our post about that.

does it make a difference if the coffee is caffeinated or not?
