Where are all our coffee drinkers at?? With the fall season officially here, you may be enjoying all the pumpkin spice lattes and peppermint mochas you can handle. But what if we told you there was another way to love your coffee?

Spoiler alert: there is! 

After you brew yourself a fresh cup of Joe, save those coffee grounds to make an unbelievable shower scrub! Believe it or not, coffee is actually super beneficial for your skin. It can reduce puffiness around the eyes, lessen inflammation, minimize the appearance of cellulite, exfoliate + firm skin, and so much more. Here is our beloved coffee scrub recipe, but feel free to substitute the essential oils with any of your favorites to customize it to your liking! 

Coffee Body Scrub

• 8oz glass jar
• 1 cup ground coffee (used or fresh)
• ½ cup carrier oil of your choice (we love Young Living’s V6 Vegetable Oil Complex!)
• 10 drops Grapefruit
• 5 drops Cypress

Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Use as often as desired and store in a cool, dark place when not in use. Pro tip: we suggest using this scrumptious scrub in the shower as it can get kinda messy, but the results are well worth it! The oils may make your shower a little slippery, so be sure to step carefully if so. However, this is the perfect addition to your skincare routine as the weather gets cooler and our skin gets a little drier.

We’re certain your skin will be feeling soft and exfoliated all season long with this awesome recipe. We’d love to hear what you think after you give it a try, so be sure to tag us on Instagram @theoilercollective while you’re whipping up this new way to love your coffee. We can’t wait to hear about your results!
