I am a bit of a coffee addict, so naturally this coffee sugar scrub is one of my favorites that we have made so far!

The Benefits of a Coffee Scrub for Your Skin

Coffee does an amazing job at exfoliation which makes it a natural choice for body scrubs, but outside of it’s ability to slough off dead skin cells what can coffee do?

Now we all know caffeine is coffee’s secret weapon when it comes to waking us up in the morning, but caffeine is also a secret weapon for your skin.

Caffeine helps tighten the skin, which can help reduce cellulite. Caffeine is also loaded with antioxidants, which help battle dark spots, fine lines, swelling, and inflammation.

This is why it is important to pay attention to the coffee grounds that you put into your homemade coffee body scrub.

While I love reusing brewed coffee grounds, in this case, they are better for your garden than they are your face.

While you definitely can use your coffee grounds from this mornings cup of joe to make this body scrub, just know that the caffeine content will be depleted.
