I’m a huge fan of DIY beauty products because most of the time they can be made without having to take a trip to the store. A lot of times the ingredients are household items. For this DIY body scrub, I used only 4 ingredients and the results are amazing.I used this scrub to get rid of my faded fake tan and it took maybe 5 minutes to scrub my entire body rid of the tan. It also left my skin hydrated and super soft. I’ll be using this coconut coffee scrub at least once a week. Plus, it smells heavenly.
There are more benefits than meets the eye with this scrub as well.
Benefits of coffee:
- Can increase blood flow
- May reduce the appearance of cellulite
- Gives skin an even tone
Benefits of vanilla essential oil:
- Can prevent & reverse skin damage caused by free radicals
- Slow down signs of aging
Benefits of coconut oil:
- Reduce inflammation
- Moisturizes
- Has antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne
This coconut coffee scrub is so easy to make that if you run out, you can make some more in about 5 minutes. I filmed a video tutorial but if you’d rather read the steps, then keep scrolling.
How To Make A Coconut Coffee Scrub
step
one
Melt the coconut oil by placing it in the microwave for 30 seconds then mix it with the coffee and coconut sugar. Add in vanilla essential oil to give it even more of a yummy smell. I put around 10 drops or so.
step
two
Put the scrub in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator. Try to keep water out of it or else mold might start to grow.

If you’re not into the smell of coffee, try making this sugar scrub. It uses strawberry and lemon!
