The coffee used in this scrub is used ground coffee, which you may have at home or you will be able to go to your local coffee shop and ask them for some of their used coffee grounds – which they will be happy to give you for free.
Once you get it home let it dry out in an oven tray and then you can put it in the oven, at 125 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times. Let it cool completely before making the scrub.
3 Tablespoons re-roasted coffee grounds (as above)
1 1/5 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Grapeseed oil
Mix the sugar with the coffee and add the grapeseed oil. Mix thoroughly. If it is too runny, add more brown sugar or coffee grounds, until it is the consistency of a paste.
This recipe makes approximately 60ml and will keep for up to a month.
For boys this is a really great scrub to use prior to shaving, as it leaves the skin lubricated.
