DIY Moisturising Coffee Body Scrub

Hi everyone! Hope you're all well.

Time to be more dedicated to this blog, today I want to show you my favourite DIY body scrub that I love to use all year round. It moisturises, exfoliates and helps wake me up on those early mornings! I love this so much because in the mornings I'm so lazy, I can't be bother to moisturise after showering (I hit the snooze button too many times! AH!) and thanks to this scrub I can skip that step! 

Let's get to what you will need! 

What you will need:
~ A jar or tub with a lid
~ 1 tablespoon coffee
~ 1 tablespoon white sugar
~ 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (optional - if you don't want to use this add another tablespoon of white sugar)
~ 1-3 tablespoons of olive oil 
~ 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional - helps scars to fade away. Don't use if your skin is super sensitive! I didn't use it in this recipe as I have no scars to get rid of at the moment)

This amount is for about 1-2 uses, just double up everything if you want more except the lemon juice, add another half a teaspoon every time you double.

Method:

Take a jar or tub with a lid and wash it with warm water and clean it dry.

Add all of your dry ingredients to the jar, if you put in brown sugar in use the spoon to crush any lumps that may be there. Mix this so it's all nicely combined.

Put a tablespoon of olive oil in and mix it together, keep adding more until you get the desired consistency. I like mine to be a little thicker than wet sand.

Mix it all together and you're done! 

The great thing about this is it's all natural and it is such a good exfoliant, made of things almost all of us would have at home! Very affordable too ;D It's so handy for me since I can skip that moisturising step that takes me time in the morning, that and the smell of the coffee in the shower is an amazing wake-me-up scent! :D

These pictures should help you get a rough idea on the consistency of how I like the scrub.

Aaaand the lid is for if you made extra you can keep it for next time you need it! Make sure you don't exfoliate everyday, you need to give your skin a break! 

So that's the recipe everyone! Hope you try it out and it all works well for you, feel free to leave questions and I will answer them :)

Peace out Beauties! <3
