Let’s face it, a lot of us need a good cup of coffee to get us going in the morning, but how about recycling your used coffee beans into an eco friendly beauty product?

Caffeine is great for waking us up, but used as a scrub it is also great at boosting your circulation and improving the appearance of your skin.

Decant your coffee grounds into a bowl or reusable container and in the shower, massage onto your skin in circular motions before rinsing off (Avoid the face as your skin is more sensitive here).

Alternatively, add a few drops of essential oil and add to melted coconut oil for a more luxurious scrub. After it has set, the coconut oil will melt on the heat of your skin in the bath or shower.

An easy way to reduce waste and feel great!
