Homemade Body Scrub (Java Scrub)

Java Scrub- recipe that I thought would be great to share with you.  This Java/coffee scrub will clear away dull skin and leave you with a brighter complexion, the caffeine helps reduce swelling and the massaging action of applying the scrub flushes out excess fluid that make your hands, legs and feet look puffy.  What I can tell you is that it smells wonderful, gives you that wonderful spa scrub feeling from your very own home and it leaves your body skin soft. This is a body scrub, DO NOT use on your face!!! 

Recipe:

Java Scrub

• 1 cup ground coffee (any that you like, I use regular coffee, no special flavoring)
• 1 cup organic white sugar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 Tbsp fresh ground cinnamon (this is what really topped it all off for me, I used a coffee grinder to pulverize 2 cinnamon sticks…but you could just use ground cinnamon from a jar too)

Blend all of these ingredients together in an airtight container, (I used a mason jar w/ a screw top lid -it is pretty and will look nice sitting in my bathroom)

Use: Massage scrub over clean, damp skin; rinse and pat dry (you might want to use a little soap when rinsing if you don’t want too much oil left behind on your skin).

The scrub will keep for 2 months if kept in a cool, dry place.
