💛✨Homemade Coffee Face Scrub (I Love This!)✨💛

The sugar in the scrub is meant to help exfoliate dead skin cells. The caffeine in the coffee grounds is also said to reduce redness. Cinnamon does the opposite, however, so be careful adding cinnamon to the mix. Some people are sensitive to it and it’ll leave their face looking a little too red. I like using the cinnamon because it is a face plumper, so it helps smooth out wrinkles and it brings blood and oxygen to the skin’s surface, helping with things like eczema and acne. It also gives you a tingly clean feeling, which is refreshing.

Coffee Face Scrub Ingredients 1/3 cup epsom salt 1 cup coffee grounds ½ cup brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon (optional... don't do this if you or the recipient have sensitive skin!) 1 cup light olive oil or coconut oil Instructions Pour the salt into a mixing bowl. If the salt is very chunky, take a pestle or the back of a large spoon and gently crush them into smaller granules to make for a smoother facial scrub. Mix in the coffee grounds and brown sugar and oil. Mix together with just a spoon until evenly combined.

Transfer the mixture to a sealable air-tight jar. Use in the morning, once a week as part of your normal beauty care routine, scooping out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and scrubbing your face with it. Rinse the oil off with hot water, then follow with cold water to close your pores.
