DIY Zero Waste Coffee Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup spent coffee grounds
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Method:
If you are using homemade coffee grounds, let them dry out first as additional moisture can mean they may spoil more quickly. Mix all ingredients together in a jar (a wide-mouth jar is preferable for ease of stirring and to save on clean-up). Store in the fridge. Use within two weeks. And it's a simple as that! However, if you want add a little more pizazz, try either of our lovely scented combos below.
Make it festive: With 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp powdered ginger, 1 tsp allspice and 1 tsp nutmeg.
