Looking for the perfect eco-friendly, plastic-free, zero-waste summertime scrub? Coffee lovers, here's one for you!

.

All natural, plastic-free, zero-waste and SO easy to make; all you need is some coconut oil and leftover coffee grounds.

.

Why these ingredients?

Coconut Oil is deeply moisturising, reduces inflammation and has antibacterial properties

.

Coffee Grounds are a waste product from coffee machines that often get thrown away without thought but they have so many amazing uses! One of these uses is for a natural skin exfoliant. It can help to reduce cellulite, inflammation, sun damage and dark circles! The gentle caffeine re-energises your skin and, alongside the exfoliation, leaves your skin feeling fresh, smooth and plump.

Method

When we say it's super easy, we mean it's super easy.

.

Firstly decide on the quantity you want to make - a little face scrub or a full body scrub?

1. Put some coconut oil into a mixing bowl

2. Add a good sprinkling of coffee grounds

3. Mix until well combined, adding more or less coffee or coconut oil until it becomes the consistency you like

TIP: The more coffee grounds, the scrubbier the mask

4. Apply liberally to your face and body, massaging it into the skin. Rinse with warm water and gently pat your face dry
