DIY Coffee and Coconut Oil Body Scrub

Did you know that coffee can be more than the morning pick me up?  Check this out.

Coffee is a natural exfoliator!  Seriously!  You can use your favorite coffee in a body scrub!  :)

Exfoliation is the removal of dry, dead skin cells that collect on the outer surface of your skin.  The coffee buffs these skin cells off, leaving a healthy glow to your skin. This aids in our bodies own renewal process.  Amazing!

While it is next to impossible to get rid of cellulite, this home made body scrub will help firm and smooth your skin.  The caffeine helps reduce it's appearance and the coconut oil will hydrate and smooth. Plus, it smells fantastic!  It's a win win! <3

I am not saying that it will reduce your cellulite but coffee and coconut oil are rich in antioxidants which are beneficial for your skin!
