Brightening coffee scrub:

Prepare a basic recipe and add the juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of honey. Lemon juice helps lighten dark spots, while honey adds moisture and antibacterial properties.

Anti-cellulite coffee scrub:

To fight cellulite, add 1/4 cup of brewed green tea and a tablespoon of sea salt to your basic coffee scrub. Green tea reduces inflammation and sea salt promotes blood circulation.

Get the most out of your coffee scrub with these tips:

  • Apply the scrub in the shower under warm water and steam. This will help open the pores for better results.
  • Use gentle circular motions to avoid irritating the skin.
  • Rinse off the scrub thoroughly so that its residue does not cause skin problems.
  • Moisturize your skin after rinsing.

Enrich your coffee scrub with these additional ingredients:

  • Cinnamon. Adding a teaspoon of cinnamon increases blood circulation and adds a pleasant aroma.
  • Coconut milk. Replace coconut oil with coconut milk in the basic recipe for extra moisturizing. It nourishes and moisturizes the skin with vitamins and fatty acids.
  • Vanilla extract. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to pamper your skin with a soothing scent.

To recap, we have prepared an overview of the differences and benefits of exfoliation and scrubbing.
