Coffee
The coffee in this easy homemade body scrub is what gives this scrub such an exfoliating effect. The roughness of the grounds naturally helps remove dead skin cells and boost circulation to the skin. This will help your skin look cleaner, brighter and more youthful.
The caffeine in coffee also helps the appearance of your skin by making your skin appear tighter and brighter.
And of course, it just smells so stinkin good!
Vanilla
Really no purpose other than that you will smell like a vanilla latte from your favorite coffee shop:)
Brown Sugar
The graininess of brown sugar will aid in the exfoliating process by scrubbing off dead skin cells and boosting skin circulation.
It will also help give your skin a very smooth soft finish (along with smelling amazing).
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil’s purpose in this recipe is to hold the other ingredients together, moisturize the skin, as well as, provide some relief from inflammation.
If you apply coconut oil directly to your face or body, it can sometimes feel slightly greasy. However, in this easy homemade body scrub, you can reap all of the benefits of applying coconut oil to your skin without leaving too much coconut oil behind.
