Coffee Grinds Body Scrub

I never previously contemplated rubbing coffee grounds all over my face...on purpose.  However, I learned that coffee is renowned as an anti-cellulite agent.  It works to detoxify and tighten the skin. According to Jessica Kernochan, founder of skincare line LaLicious, the ground beans can also exfoliate, reduce fine lines, and fend off acne.

There are tons of facial scrubs available for purchase, but why not make this easy concoction at home?

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp used coffee grinds
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp olive oil

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Dampen skin slightly. In circular motions starting with your feet and working your way up, gently exfoliate your whole body. The sugar and coffee grinds slough off dead skin cells, while the olive oil hydrates. Allow the mixture to sit for a couple of minutes before gently washing it away with warm water. Follow up with your favorite cream or more olive oil.

Try it out - it's actually very invigorating!
