Anyone who has ever been to my house knows that there is constantly a pot of coffee brewing. As I was throwing away the coffee grounds the other day, I noticed a jar of coconut oil sitting on the counter and I was hit with the idea to make my own coffee scrub. I did a little bit of research and found that exfoliating with coffee grounds has a lot of benefits. It is really easy to make and I LOVE the way it makes my skin feel.

*Make sure you are using caffeinated grounds and the coarser the better!*
