I bought a
beautiful Fig and Yarrow coffee scrub when I was in America about two years
ago. It makes your skin so nice and smooth. The original scrub uses cocoa and Shea
butter. I personally prefer to use coconut oil as the coconut locks in moisture
to the skin and leaves your skin glowing. Cardamom helps speed up metabolism
and coffee helps to reduce cellulite. Needless to say it didn't last long once
I made it home.
After reading a
post on http://www.essiebutton.com/2013/05/20/diy-coffee-body-scrub/
I decided that this weekend I will make my own.
When I make body
scrubs and other homemade cosmetics there is no real science. I just wing it
until I achieve the right consistency or smell or texture. It is all up to you.
The last time I made this I used about half a cup of the coffee and the sugar,
a decent pinch of cardamom and add the oil a tablespoon at a time.
