Soothing Coffee Hand Scrub

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup ground coarse organic coffee
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup carrier oil (grapeseed, olive, fractionated coconut, or sweet almond oil)
  • 3 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients in a jar until it looks like wet sand.
  • Add 1 tsp to your hand and using a gentle motion, massage hands together.
  • Gently rinse under warm running water until all the coffee residue has come off. Pat dry.
  • If you're interested in the moisturizing effect, simply rinse and pat dry. You'll have an instant oil barrier that makes your hands silky smooth.
  • If you're only interested in the exfoliating effect, you can afterwards rinse with a little soap and water to wash off the oil.
  • Due to the fragility of the carrier oil, use this scrub within 3 months.

Notes

Note, try to find medium grind coffee. Large coffee grinds are too rough on the skin, and fine coffee leaves a color residue behind.
