Coffee Body Scrub

GF DF P Vg AIP

​

This deliciously grainy coffee scrub smells good enough to eat! 100% natural, no harsh chemicals, preservatives, additives or nasty ingredients. Homemade with Love & without any animal testing! I Love the smell of coffee. I've never been a big coffee drinker and don't drink coffee at all now but the smell and feel of this on my skin is every bit heavenly. Blended with sugar, essential oils and coconut oils it works as an excellent exfoliator and moisturiser all in one. Coffee grounds are a mechanical exfoliate, meaning they can be used to scrub away dead skin to reveal the new, healthy skin underneath, whereas harsh chemical exfoliates remove skin cells with enzymes or acidic properties and can cause skin reactions especially for sensitive skin.  Exfoliating with coffee grounds improves circulation, leaving you with smooth, glowing skin.

​

Coconut oil is a powerful moisturiser that is beneficial to restoring dry or flaking skin. Unlike your average moisturiser that contains a lot of water and likely synthetic ingredients, coconut oil helps to strengthen skin tissue more deeply and eliminate dead skin cells while absorbing quickly into your skin.Coconut oil also helps to delay the occurrence of wrinkles because it contains antioxidant Vitamin E, known to protect skin cells from damage over time. The Vitamin E found in coconut oil soothes eczema, sunburn and psoriasis, and its antiviral and antifungal benefits even help to treat bug bites.Coconut oil contains 3 fatty acids: capric acid, lauric acid and caprylic acid. Each of these acids kill candida, a common cause of fungal infection on your skin.

​

Use whichever essential oil you are most drawn to, each essential oil has its own healing benefits and therapeutic use.
