Homemade Vanilla and Coffee Body Scrub

July 20, 2019 by Shellie Wilson 3 Comments

Vanilla Coffee Sugar Scrub Recipe – This DIY spa treatment is so easy to make and will leave your skin feeling amazing. The recipe can be increased to make a larger batch if you wish to gift it to friends and family.

Why Coffee? The caffeine in coffee grounds has potent antioxidant properties that can help protect the skin from sun damage, reduce cellulite and stimulate the blood vessels.

 

Recipe fills (3) 4 ounce mason jars

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 20 drops Vanilla Essential Oil
  • 1 tbs coffee grounds

Step 1. Add sugar, coconut oil and essential oil to a bowl. Stir well

Step 2. Add coffee grounds.

Step 2. Stir well to combine.

Step 4. Using a canning funnel, pour into 4 ounce mason jars.

DIY body scrubs are a great way to give handmade gifts to friends, family, and even yourself. Not only are they thoughtful presents, but they also have a variety of beneficial effects on the skin. Body scrubs can help to exfoliate, moisturize, and nourish the skin, giving it a healthy glow.

Exfoliating with a body scrub helps to remove dead skin cells and any impurities that can lead to a dull complexion. By removing these elements, body scrubs help to reveal softer, smoother skin and a brighter complexion. They can also help to reduce the appearance of acne and prevent ingrown hairs.

In addition to exfoliating, body scrubs can also help to nourish the skin and lock in moisture. Many body scrubs are made with natural oils, such as coconut, jojoba, or almond, which can help to replenish the skin and protect it from dryness. These oils are also rich in antioxidants, which can help to fight the signs of aging.

Finally, DIY body scrubs are an excellent way to relax and unwind. The act of scrubbing the skin with a body scrub can be incredibly therapeutic, and many scrubs are made with essential oils that can help to relieve stress and create a calming atmosphere.

Overall, DIY body scrubs can be a great way to give a handmade gift that is both thoughtful and beneficial to the recipient’s skin. They can help to exfoliate, nourish, and moisturize the skin, while also providing relaxation and stress relief.

    I’d like to know myself…. Are the coffee grounds fresh or is it already used coffee grounds?

    I save the coffee grounds from my husband’s morning coffee, spread them out to dry and save them in a container to use in coffee scrubs.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
