So am I. Except, I don’t just drink my coffee. Instead I love treating my skin to some much needed caffeine. I used to buy some really expensive scrubs and other lotions that promised “plumping” and other miracles for my skin that didn’t really live up to their pretty packaging and marketing jargon. I decided to take my skin’s health in my own hands and create something of my own. Using just a handful of ingredients, I created a luxurious coffee body scrub that make my legs feel super silky.

To make your own caffeinated body scrub, all you need are the following ingredients:

1. Ground coffee (1 cup)

1. Brown Sugar (1/2 cup)

1. Olive oil (2 tbsp)

1. Vitamin E oil (1 teaspoon)

Container

Mix everything together. I usually eyeball the ingredients when I find the right consistency. Since I use this scrub in the shower it’s not necessary to have it be too watery. I love using this on my skin in the morning because the coffee wakes up my senses and the scrub feels great on my skin! I usually just take a quarter sized amount from the jar while in the shower and gently scrub my legs, butt, elbows, back of my arms then I wash it all off with warm water. It might look a little messy in the shower but I haven’t had any problems with it staining my tub or anything like that. It’s perfect for scrubbing off any dead skin on my legs so I can get a very close shave, my legs have never felt so smooth. In addition, since using it for several weeks the cellulite on the back on my legs has improved greatly (along with some regular exercise of course!) The caffeine helps tighten skin and the oils help provide a plumping affect to the skin resulting in lesser appearance of cellulite. Try this for your weekly caffeine fix and unbelievably moisturizing body scrub!
