Wake-Up Coffee Scrub For Your Morning Buzz

by Shelly

Do you have trouble waking up in the morning? Does a great cup of “joe” normally do it for you, or how about a good shower. Well, after your morning cup of coffee is brewed, why not bathe in it while you are in your shower in the morning. Sound crazy? Try this:

Wake-Up Coffe Scrub:

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup pure turbinado sugar
15 drops peppermint oil (Menta piperita)
15 drops rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis)
1/2 cup used coffee grounds from a freshly brewed pot

Apply to wet skin in a circular motion. Best to start at feet and work toward the heart. After scrubbing follow wash routine with your regular body wash routine.

Scrub contains oil so be careful not to slip when applying it in the shower. The product can be used daily and store up to two weeks from the day made, in your shower. Or stored two months in your refrigerator.

• Lip Balm For The Winter
