Homemade Coffee-Coconut Sugar Scrub

Homemade Coffee-Coconut Sugar Scrub | The Evermine Blog | www.evermine.com
Coffee has been used for centuries as a natural cellulite fighting and skin firming ingredient. The caffeine enhances fat metabolism, and when it’s applied topically, it can absorb and remove liquid fat from your skin, which decreases the appearance of cellulite.

Coconut oil is a fantastic natural moisturizing lotion. It is anti-aging, acne fighting and will not clog your pores. Together, the coconut oil, coffee grinds and sugar make an amazing all-natural firming and skin softening scrub. I made my coffee sugar scrub with my own roasted coffee bean grounds, natural cane sugar and solid, organic virgin coconut oil. I have made a few different variations, but this recipe is my go-to favorite.

Homemade Coffee-Coconut Sugar Scrub
Author: Stacy Dutton
Type: Bath and Body
Serves: Yields 3 8oz Mason Jars
 
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup solid organic virgin coconut oil (from Trader Joe's)
  • 2 cups sugar (I used natural cane sugar, but white or brown works great too)
  • 1 cup dry coffee grounds (I used 4 espresso pucks)
Instructions
  1. Use the whisk attachment on your mixer to blend sugar and coffee grounds together - about 2 minutes until it’s fluffy. Then add ¾ cup solid coconut oil and whip mixture together for another 1-2 minutes.
  2. Transfer to an airtight container and keep in a cool place until ready for use.
  3. To package my coffee coconut sugar scrub for gifting, I spooned the scrub into small mason jars. Then I covered the jar lid with a personalized label
Notes
I used Luxe label, size 12, in chocolate (tip: choose from 12 fonts for FREE)
3.4.3177

Used In This Project:

  • Circle Labels • I chose the “Luxe” style in chocolate, with the Blackjack font.

      Hi Dani! Stacy made her scrub in September and is still using jars from her first batch. If you store the scrub in an air-tight container it should keep for a long time. Hope that helps!

      Hi Melly – Yes the coffee grounds are used, but fresh coffee grounds would probably work just fine!

      If the coffee Grounds have been used…(?)… and will be added to oil, wouldn’t I have to dry the used Grounds out before adding to coconut butter/oil? Since, water and oil don’t mix it seems if any water was left in Grounds ,?, could it mould possibly?
      I think I’ll use fresh coffee so I don’t have to think too much lol… sounds great! I think a little cocoa stirred in (antioxidants) would smell Yummy also? It would be like playing in the mud! How fun!

        I have used coffee grounds from my Keurig cups. I just cut open the cup and extract the grounds onto a plate and either let air dry overnight or place in microwave to dry. Works fine for me. I keep a jar on hand just for things like this.

    How often should I use it? Daily? Weekly?

      Hi Alexandria – Stacy uses her weekly but there is no harm in using it daily, just depends on how sensitive your skin is to all the scrubbing!

      A cool dark place is best – Stacy keeps her in the back of her kitchen pantry or in a spare closet until gifting. Hope that helps!

    I love this recipe! How do you use it? Just scrub and rinse, or do you have to leave it on for a bit before rinsing?

        Hi Judy! Scrubs are generally not meant to be left on. It is just to exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells.

        Hope this helps!
