Coffee & Vaseline Exfoliating Scrub

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
  • 1 tablespoon ground coffee (fresh or used grounds)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:
    • Make sure the ground coffee is finely ground for a gentle exfoliation. You can use fresh coffee grounds or repurpose used ones after brewing coffee.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl, combine the Vaseline and ground coffee. Stir until the mixture is well blended and the coffee grounds are evenly distributed.
  3. Application:
    • Gently apply the mixture to your skin, focusing on areas that need exfoliation, such as the elbows, knees, or face. Use circular motions to massage the scrub onto your skin. Avoid sensitive areas, especially around the eyes.
  4. Let it Sit:
    • For an added moisturizing effect, you can leave the mixture on your skin for a few minutes.
  5. Rinse Off:
    • Rinse thoroughly with warm water. You may need to use a gentle cleanser to remove any remaining Vaseline residue.
  6. Pat Dry and Moisturize:
    • After rinsing, pat your skin dry with a clean towel and apply your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Tips:

  • Patch Test: Always do a patch test on a small area of skin before using any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Frequency: Use this scrub 1-2 times per week to avoid over-exfoliating your skin.
  • Storage: You can store any leftover mixture in a small, airtight container for future use.

This simple scrub can leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your at-home spa treatment!
