DIY Simple and Easy Coffee Scrub Recipes in 2023

A coffee scrub is a natural way to exfoliate your skin, giving it a healthy glow.

Coffee Scrub Shopping

Have you ever wanted a super-friendly face scrub, but you couldn’t seem to find the perfect match?

There are just so many to choose from, and you can’t even find which one is the best fit for you.

I never really had any beauty routines, to be honest. I was always the “soap and water” kind of girl. That was enough skin cleansing for me.

If it’s good enough to clean my body, it’s also good enough for my face.

But I’ve been wrong all along. The skin on our faces and neck is thinner than the rest of our bodies.

So when we care for them, we must do it delicately.

Coffee Scrub Dilemma

So I was in the store trying to decide which product was the best.

Many face scrubs are displayed, and a lot more to consider.

I was torn between crying out for help or holding my ground on being a strong, independent woman.

Like, come on! Why can’t I just get 2 or 3 choices so there’ll be fewer options so I can get eeny meany miny moe?

The struggle is real (for me, at least). You don’t know if you should choose the expensive ones (because they say the more expensive it is, the better the quality)

But then, are you paying for the quality of the product or the brand?

Okay, fine, let’s choose the cheaper brands. However, is it worth your money if you choose the cheaper ones?

Ugh!

I spent an entire hour just trying to decide which product to buy.

Ended up going home empty-handed.

Good thing there’s always an excellent search engine ready to answer my queries.

The Great Internet Search for a Coffee Scrub

So I did a bit of digging and found fabulous face scrubs I can make in the comforts of my home.

Did you know that most of the ingredients are lying around your cupboard?

You don’t have a second thought about reusing some of it, so you just mindlessly throw it away.

What’s crazy is that it’s not only you who has done it.

Most people don’t have any idea that they’re throwing away gold!

I used to throw my coffee grounds away immediately after using them, but I discovered that it still has more benefits than giving you that well-needed energy boost.

Coffee scrubs!

In this article, I will show you 5 easy coffee scrub recipes you can do at home to improve your beauty regime. 

No chemical additives.

Coffee Scrub, Abso-caffeine-lutely Awesome! 

Coffee is rich in antioxidants which can increase collagen production. In addition, they make fantastic exfoliators because of their grainy texture.

It’s a perfect tool to help scrub dead skin cells and dirt.

It Scars, It’s Unnecessary, It’s Uncomfortable, It’s Acne.

The fact of the matter is most of us struggle with acne.

Acne happens when your pores are clogged with dirt, dead skin, and oil buildup. 

I know! Gross!

But what is acne, and what causes it?

Most of the time, too much of that cleansing or stress or even your diet causes acne breakouts.

The good thing about coffee scrub is that it helps clean your clogged pores by gently exfoliating them.

Got acne problems? Try our recipe below.

Coffee Scrub with Greek Yogurt 

INGREDIENTS

PROCEDURE

1. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
2. Blend well and apply all over your body.
3. Massage for 10 minutes and let it stay 5-10 minutes.
4. Wash off with lukewarm water.

Did you know that Greek Yogurt is jam-packed with all sorts of nutrients that your body needs?

Not only is Greek Yogurt good for you to consume, but it also works wonders on your skin.

Yogurt contains lactic acid, B vitamins, zinc, and calcium.

Lactic acid helps in reducing the visible fine lines and acne.
Its exfoliating properties transform your skin from dry to softer, younger-looking skin.

Oh no! Cellulite!

If you’re one of the people who are gifted with thick thighs and a plump behind, then girl, bless you!

And just know, I’m jealous.

Sometimes, these gifts come with a bit of a hiccup. Yep, cellulite!

To set the record straight, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having cellulite! 

You’re not alone; most women have it.

Do you think that those ladies in the magazine don’t have it? 

But I know that it usually causes insecurity, especially when there are nonstop ads on how to get rid of cellulite.

I’m here to help lessen that insecurity over a cup of coffee.

The most potent ingredient of coffee is caffeine. Caffeine can help dilate blood vessels which then makes your skin supple, thus, less cellulite presence.

The Not-So-Fine Lines

In this day and age, free radicals are ever so present, no matter where we are. That’s one of the reasons why our skin tends to age fast.

Remember the importance of antioxidants in reducing the visible signs of aging?

The amazing fact about coffee is that it’s jam-packed with antioxidants.

So go ahead, don’t be shy. Pamper your skin with our coffee scrub. Why not try our Coffee Scrub with Coconut Oil Recipe?

Coffee Scrub with Coconut Oil 

INGREDIENTS

PROCEDURE

1. Combine Ground Coffee and Brown Sugar in a bowl.
2. Add Coconut Oil to the mixture. 
3. Slowly add Essential Oil (optional).
4. Blend well and apply all over your body.
5. Massage for 10 minutes and let it stay 5-10 minutes.
6. Wash off with lukewarm water.

Coconut oil and coffee have antioxidant properties, so if you’re looking for a way to reduce the early signs of aging, this coffee scrub with coconut oil is incredible for your skin.

So what’s the best kind of coconut oil to use?

Take note that you’ll use this scrub on your skin, so look for virgin coconut oil or unrefined ones.

If you can’t find it, choose the one that is closest to its natural state.

This is why virgin coconut oil is the best, especially when you have sensitive skin.

Puff, Puff, and Eye-way! Cause you know, for Puffy Eyes!

Ugh, puffy eyes!

Remember those sleepless nights you’ve been twisting and turning just to get that well-advertised beauty sleep but failed miserably?

In addition, you’ve managed to get some Zzzs and still wake up looking like a trash panda.

So what’s with coffee and getting rid of puffy eyes?

Puffy eyes are usually genetic, but sometimes it’s because of aging.

There’s a way of reducing your puffy eyes.

The skin around your eyes is thin, so when aging comes, if not taken care of properly, there will be fat and excessive liquid buildup around it.

The caffeine found in coffee scrubs also has anti-inflammatory properties.

So when used correctly and religiously, it will help reduce the signs of puffiness.

Coffee Scrub with Green Tea 

INGREDIENTS

PROCEDURE

1. Brew your tea in a cup and set it aside.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. 
3. Slowly pour the remaining ingredients alternately.
4. Blend well and apply all over your body.
5. Massage for 10 minutes and let it stay 5-10 minutes.
6. Wash off with lukewarm water.

Honestly, I’m not a massive fan of tea.

I only drink iced tea, and I’m not sure if that counts.

Ha-ha, *nervous laugh*. Please don’t go for my neck!

I’m a coffee chica, and I’m obsessed with it.

It’s helpful to know that tea, specifically green tea, has several health benefits.

Like coffee, green tea is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

When an ingredient has antimicrobial properties, this is automatically an additional advantage for you.

Not only are you helping your skin be healthy and supple, but you’re also helping it fight microbes.

Coffee Scrub with Shea Butter 

INGREDIENTS

PROCEDURE

1. In a bowl, melt Coconut Oil and Shea Butter together. Mix well.
2. Add Coffee and Salt to the mixture.
3. Blend well and apply all over your body.
4. Massage for 10 minutes and let it stay 5-10 minutes.
5. Wash off with lukewarm water.

Shea butter is known for its fat content. This helps nourish the skin and make it softer.

This is excellent news for those of you who are prone to dry and cracked skin.

What about the oil component in shea butter? Won’t it clog my skin?

Don’t worry about it clogging your skin because this is less likely to happen.

Why?

Well, the oils in shea butter are quickly absorbed into your skin, and it locks the moisture making your skin soft and supple.

Although, if you have a sensitive face and are prone to acne, it would be best to steer clear of shea butter because it might cause breakouts. Try the Coffee Scrub with Greek Yogurt instead.

Coffee Scrub with Aloe Vera

INGREDIENTS

PROCEDURE

1. Mix Coffee and Aloe Vera in a bowl.
2. Slowly add Essential Oil (optional).
3. Blend well and apply all over your body.
4. Massage for 10 minutes and let it stay 5-10 minutes.
5. Wash off with lukewarm water.

Have you ever had nights where you just can’t sleep?

Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot of those lately.

Well, it probably is caused by a distant secret lover who can’t stop thinking about me or is caused by excessive sleep during the afternoon.

Either reason, those sleepless nights would have me browsing on my phone, watching some 5-minute hacks.

This one hack showed a frozen aloe mix that can be used to soothe sunburnt skin.

Everyone probably knows this by now. It’s excellent at soothing and hydrating the skin since it contains about 98% water.

Did you know Aloe has been used to treat many skin conditions like burns, frostbites, and even psoriasis?

Go Natural! You’ll Always Have a Fresh Batch of Coffee Scrub!

If finding the freshest ingredient is difficult, choose one closest to its natural state. What do I mean by this?

In other words, select the elements that have gone through less processing.

Won’t it mean you will have only about a week or less before the scrub goes bad?

Well, put it this way, you’ll always have a fresh batch every week.

That sounds better right?
