The reason I make a homemade body scrub is to save money. Beauty products like body scrubs are expensive. Basically, the function of the body scrub is to remove dead skin cells and restore the skin's brightness and maintain skin moisture. But I was surprised by the price of body scrubs made in the factory industry, the results were not satisfactory with expensive prices.
So a home-based product is always a winner if the results are not much different from manufactured products, but at a different time, and minimize side effects on the body. That's because homemade body scrub does not contain chemicals and we ourselves monitor the manufacturing.
But if the cosmetic product is manufactured, we cannot really confirm the contents of the product even though they include a list of ingredients of the product on the packaging.
This time I tried the homemade body scrub from coffee and coconut oil. Imagining the aroma of coffee alone makes me happy, oh really the aroma of pleasure and serenity!
How to make it very easy, we do not need special abilities at all for that. We only need to mix the ingredients needed and pay attention to the measurements on each ingredient.
Ingredients for Coffee Coconut Oil Body Scrub
- ground coffee
- coconut oil
- essential oils to add to the fragrance of the scrub. Here I use sandalwood oil. But you can change the type of essential oil, or you can skip this ingredient.
How to make
- Prepare coffee grounds. Here I use five tablespoons of ground coffee.
- Slowly add coconut oil. Pay attention to the texture. It's good if the texture is similar to butter.
I think my scrub texture has good condition. Looks creamy but easy to return to its original shape.
- If we get the scrub texture we want, add a few drops of essential oil, this depends on your taste.
Use of the body
Here, the scrub that I made is specifically for my body skin. For the face, I can not recommend it to you. That's because facial skincare is very tricky because facial skin types are very sensitive compared to body skin in general.
Use on the body 3 times a week before bathing in a dry body state. Rub gently scrub then leave for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Benefits of Using Coffee Coconut Oil Scrub
The skin is fresher and brighter
The use of coffee masks works to remove dead skin cells. It will help refresh the skin and make the skin brighter.
Soften and soften the skin
When dead skin cells have been lifted, facial skin not only brightens but is also smooth. Plus the use of coconut oil will make the skin feel moist, tight, and prevent skin peeling.
Maintaining Skin Health from Free Radicals and Staying Young
The anti-oxidant content in coffee is great for counteracting free radicals. And helps skin stay young.
My Honest Opinion After Using Coffee and Coconut Oil Scrub
After using this homemade scrub several times, I felt that the natural scrub was even better than the scrub product I had been buying.
I feel my skin is softer and looks fresh. Of course, it takes consistent use of scrubs in a short time for maximum results.
I really like to touch and kiss the skin of my own body after using this scrub. Really fun and comfortable.
