Homemade Coffee Scrub

Since I was 15, I have regularly used exfoliants. Nowadays, enzymatic scrubs are becoming increasingly popular, but they don’t produce any effect on my skin, so I remain loyal to traditional scrubs. You might be surprised when I say that I have never bought a scrub in a store. Even as a teenager, I was interested in natural skincare, and the idea of rubbing chemicals into my face always lost out to homemade methods.

A coffee scrub is always within reach — almost everyone has coffee and olive oil at home. You can use coffee straight from the package or, if you don’t like a strong aroma, opt for dried used espresso grounds. I guarantee you an amazing effect.
