When it comes to a wake up - we all love coffee. The smell really can awaken the senses. So, while my morning coffee is something I truly savor each morning, there's another way to use coffee to your benefit that I've been waiting to share with you: my DIY Coffee Body Scrub! Now that I have the photos ready, here you go! This is truly the best DIY Coffee Body Scrub out there. It will awaken you!
DIY Coffee Body Scrub
Ingredients:
½ cup of epsom salt
½ brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoon ground coffee
¼ cup coconut oil
, melted (more if you like it a little wetter)
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Makes 1 cup of body scrub.
Use palm full, around 2 tablespoon in the shower on damp skin. Allow it to scrub and exfoliate before rinsing.
Benefits of a coffee scrub
According to a study published Journal of Clinical Aesthetic Dermatology (2009) regarding the use of botanicals in skin care, it was recognized that caffeine, the chemical stimulant in coffee, tea, and some soft drinks, has demonstrated both anticarcinogenic and antioxidant properties. Further, coffee berry, harvested from the fruit of the coffee plant Coffea arabica, is considered to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants and is well known for its skin-rejuvenation properties. Coffee berry contains potent polyphenols including chlorogenic acid, ferrulic acid, quinic acid, and condensed proanthocyanidins
With this in mind, it is important to be aware of how epsom salt, which is known to be great for releasing toxins, and coconut oil, an excellent moisturizer, combined with the other ingredients, including coffee, can be invigorating.
So, for a nice morning wake-me-up, consider coffee, in the shower.
When it comes to pampering - sometimes it really is better to do it yourself. By making this coffee skin scrub, you know exactly what is going on your skin. You know the quality and will feel better when the results in your skin start showing.

I love sugar scrubs and I love coffee so this is the perfect combo! I have made a coffee cardomom scrub that I really love!
This sounds amazing! I need to try this ASAP! Thank you for the post!
I am a big coffee fan, and I am sure I would enjoy this! Sounds fun to make as well.
We've made this before! It makes my skin feel so good.
What a great DIY I'll have to remember when I need to make a new gift to the many coffee lovers around me.
There are many unknown benefits of coffee. We also use it for air fresher. I would like to try this scrub recipe too.
i am sure this will be a heavenly body scrub
I love this so much! I am such a coffee fan.
Love this! Great gift idea and something I personally would love to try out!
I absolutely love a good coffee scrub!
This looks like a great scrub
I read that when you use a coffee scrub, you should leave it on a few minutes to tighten your skin. Do you do this?
Wonderful! I just love the smell of coffee. This would make such a nice gift.
I have heard that you could use dry spent grounds (since reaally there is still plenty of coffee in it) and that coffee is good for cellulite. I dont know if it is true, but I have read it in many places. I have always meant to try these scrubs. this has motivate me to make it- very easy recipe!
I love making homemade body scrubs for myself and for gifts. I have never tried coffee before but it sounds wonderful. I am going to have to pick up a package of epsom salt because that is the only thing I don't have from the ingredient list.
I absolutely love this idea, I recently paid quite a bit for a coffee scrub and I'm sure this one would be just as good. Thanks for sharing it.
I love scrubs and I love coffee so I know I would love this!
thanks !:)
I had read recently about using coffee as a scrub and how beneficial it is. Thanks for the recipe!
Body scrubs are so great when it comes to exfoliating the skin. It removes the dead skin cells in the skin making the skin smooth. The coconut oil makes the skin moisturized. It's good to use it regularly.
I love that it smells like coffee and easy to make. Nothing better than to be woken up with a nice body scrub.
I like that it is all natural.
Pinned this one, thanks! I just started looking into making my own body scrubs to help with my eczema 🙂
This DIY coffee scrub sounds incredible!! I love sugar shrubs, they always leave my skin super soft and smelling amazing. I definitely can't wait to try this one, I've never made my own before and I love coffee! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Have to admit this looks........... I don't drink coffee but i do like the way it feels. Simple easy recipe on how to make it. Only thing that would stop me making it would be the coconut oil. I am afraid that it might make the tub slick. I have a nerve damage foot and leg so always worry about falling.
I love making my own body scrubs and face scrubs at home. I make a face scrub that is just brown sugar and honey...amazing! Thanks for the idea!
I have sugar scrubs and heard of coffee scrubs. This sounds good. The benefits are great. Will have to try this
This looks awesome! I absolutely love scrubs- they really work to exfoliate my skin and keep me from getting too dry. This recipe looks great! I do love the smell (and taste) of coffee and like the idea of knowing exactly what I'm putting on my body.
This looks so perfect. I really want to make it for myself.
I love coffee scrubs, def trying this!
It is so important to exfoliate and I have sensitive skin so I don't think this scrub would bother me. I have dry skin so I can't exfoliate with anything that has pumice or crushed volcanic rock. This sounds very natural.
Love Hip Mama's Place and the chance to win The summer Camp Essentials pack. I have Grand-kids who are 4, 7 and 10 years old. They would love these things.
Wow that looks really easy to make, not to mention how wonderful it must smell! I love that you used coconut oil. That stuff is so moisturizing!
It looks so pretty the way it shimmers. I bet it smells awesome too! I would totally try this!
I bet this smells good enough to eat! So easy too.
This coffee skin scrub sounds so good. I can smell the coffee scent even now. Can't wait to try making and using it. Thanks!
I've used a coffee scrub before that had simple ingredients including coconut oil and ground coconut flakes. It smelled great. Thanks for your recipe for DIY Coffee Body; I'll like adding brown sugar and cinnamon to the other ingredients and scrubbing away.
thanks for the idea! Id much rather make scrubs at home and this one looks divine
That is so amazing! That would be helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I do!! I love using it when transitioning from one season to another!! Great way to slough off all the dryness and irritation!! I am definitely going to try this!! It would make amazing gifts too!!
I love the smell of coffee. I bet this is a great exfoliator!
oh, my goodness! I so love this idea. I would love to try this for sure! Thanks for sharing.
I just adore the use of coconut oil in my skincare products. Very moisturizing.
I was thinking that this would make for a perfect Christmas gift!
This s such a interesting post. I need to try this.
This coffee scrub looks amazing! I need to give it a try!
Sounds cool and great! I want to try. Thanks for the recipe.
I once got coffee sugar scrubs for a gift an loved it. All scrub is to my liking. Its a good way to work the circulation and it leaves skin feeling smooth.
I just love this, so delicious and good for you too!
Me and my wife do coffee body scrub from time to time. It's really helpful in terms of improving circulation around the body and relaxation too.
