Homemade Scrub Recipes

Coffee Body Scrub

You will need:

• ½ cup coffee
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 1 tsp powdered cinnamon

This homemade scrub needs only four ingredients, and will take under five minutes to make. Mix all the ingredients and voila – it's ready. The sugar + coffee combination will help slough off dead skin, the coconut will impart moisture, and the powdered cinnamon will leave a wonderful after-smell. Don't forget to store your all-new homemade scrub in an airtight container, and use it every 2-3 days for best results.

Peppermint Body Scrub

You will need:

• 2 cups sugar
• ½-1 cup coconut oil
• 4-6 drops peppermint essential oil

Here's another yummy homemade scrub you can whip up in five minutes. Mix 2 cups sugar, ½-1 cup coconut oil/grapeseed oil/almond oil/olive oil and finally, add 4-6 drops of peppermint essential oil. The sugar contains glycolic acid which speeds skin cell renewal, and its small granules slough away dead skin effectively without causing any irritation. Sweet.
