Recycle: coffee grounds body scrub

Picture from web

If you like coffee but it never came to your mind how to re-use the scraps...well, now you have an advice! The only thing you have to do is to collect some coffee grounds, mix them with table salt and moisturizing oils of your choice (I suggest almond, rice and shea). Add also a few drops of essential oil if you wish...I didn't, because I love the scent of coffee ♥

Use this body scrub while taking a shower: rub it gently on clean and wet skin and rinse with water only (avoid shower gel or you will remove the oil protective layer). After the shower, you can use a little aloe gel and coconut oil to increase the soothing action. Repeat once a week, or every two if your skin is too sensitive. Do not use it on your face and breast.

Tips & Tricks:

• place some coffee powder in the sideboard or in the fridge to absorb bad smells
• use coffee grounds to fertilize the potting soil of your plants
