// DIY Brown sugar, coconut and coffee scrub //

Im a big scrub person especially when they are made from home. I love know exactly what you are adding and making it your own. Thats why after running out of my beloved Hot Chocolate sugar scrub from Milani, I decided to make my own instead of spending a tonne of money. I call this one the Brown sugar coconut coffee scrub, Here's how you make it.

Looks very homemade in all its herring jar glory, but reduce re-use and recycle!

Ingredients:
1. Brown sugar
2. Desiccated coconut
3. Ground Coffee.
4. Oil safe to use on the body such as Olive or Coconut.
5. Empty jar.

The ingredients don't have certain measures at all so feel free to switch up anything and add more or less of what you want. I would recommend choosing an oil such as coconut or almond. Not only does it add to the aroma but has many beautifying properties such as moisture and nourishment.

I have added the brown sugar as a base because it contains glycolic acid. This is used as a natural anti-bacterial and keeps the skin looking healthy. It is also a natural humectant meaning it absorbs moisture, so look forward to supple pins!. Coffee is added because it is a natural anti inflammatory agent, so if you have got of a long flight with swollen ankles, scrub some of this on. It can also energize the skin due to its high levels of caffeine and can help with cellulite. Desiccated coconut is added for extra grit and scent!

Mix all of the dry ingredients together.

 Then add in the oils and mix it up!

and here you have it! the Brown sugar coffee and coconut scrub.

When you have done the mixing find a jar to store it in. I would recommend swishing a bit of rubbing alcohol in the jar to kill any scent or bacteria. After this simply add in the scrub and your good to go!

I hope you enjoy this homemade DIY. If you would like to see more just leave some suggestions down below.

  9. I tried something similar before, except without coffee, but I found that the oil and sugar seperated from eachother really badly :(
