Summer is a great time to use a body scrub and it is so exciting to be able to share this beautiful recipe with you. Making your own body scrub is so much fun and allows you to experiment with different ingredients, scents and textures to suit your taste.


This scrub will leave your skin soft, glowing, wonderfully moisturized and smelling gorgeous.

Two ingredients in the scrub act as exfoliators – coffee grounds and sugar. As they are both abrasive they exfoliate on a mechanical level. The scrub stimulates blood circulation leaving the skin glowing and revitalized.

Coconut oil is great for moisturizing the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Cinnamon is an antiseptic, which helps to reduce bacteria on the surface of the skin and is also great for the prevention of spots and treating the existent ones.

Vanilla extract adds a beautiful sweet smell to this scrub, making it totally irresistible.

To make the scrub you will need:

Coconut Coffee Body Scrub recipe Natural Bodycare recipes
115g ground coffee
115g raw sugar
60g cold pressed raw coconut oil
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Few drops of vanilla extract (optional)


How to make the body scrub:

  1. Mix the coffee, sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  2. Once mixed, add the softened coconut oil and vanilla extract to achieve a scrub-like consistency. If the coconut oil is solidified you can melt it in a bain marie for a few seconds before adding it to the mixture.
  3. When ready transfer to an airtight container or a glass jar and that’s it, you have a gorgeous smelling scrub.


You can also make this scrub as you go by using the smaller amounts of the ingredients.

These measurements are approximate and you can always adjust them to make the consistency you prefer.
