Vaniila Latte Sugar Scrub

I love the smell of coffee and but do not like drinking coffee turns out, coffee can have benefits when used externally!

Coffee scrubs can be beneficial in reducing cellulite as well. The massage and exfoliation benefits skin by stimulating blood/lymph flow and the caffeine in the coffee has a tightening effect. Pinterest is speckled with accounts of coffee scrubs and wraps working for reducing cellulite and loose skin.

This sugar scrub combines some of my favorite natural beauty ingredients:

Coconut Oil – For naturally nourishing skin
Castor Oil – A naturally astringent oil that is great for skin tone (I also use it in my facial cleansing regimen… and by regimen, I mean super-simple one-step process that leaves skin feeling amazing)
Coffee- The caffeine has a tightening and stimulating affect on skin and it is often used in anti-aging products
Sugar- Bad inside the body but great on the outside as it naturally exfoliates
Vanilla – Because it smells good

This simple scrub smells like a vanilla latte (thus the name) and leaves skin silky. It smells and looks sophisticated, but is incredibly simple and inexpensive to make.
