This Bulletproof Coffee Body Scrub is a deep moisturizer and exfoliant all in one! This scrub can reduce cellulite, reveal radiant soft skin, and reduce the signs of aging with only 4 ingredients!
Bulletproof Coffee might be a staple to wake up your morning, but it can also wake up your skin! They say that coffee scrubs can reduce cellulite due to their caffeine content. Which when I read about this miracle occurrence, I immediately asked myself why I had been working my hiney off at the gym for so long when I could scrub myself to cellulite-free thighs?!?! I mean, a long steamy, relaxing shower a few times a week, or hours of pumping metal and running intervals?
As much as I love a good gym circuit, I would reach for the Bulletproof Coffee Body Scrub every time.
And while this Bulletproof Coffee Body Scrub might not be an instant miracle cure-all for cellulite (the jury is still out on that one), it will turn your next shower into a spa-like experience and give you soft, freshly exfoliated and deeply moisturized skin.
Like we talked about, coffee is the star of this show. I usually opt for a fine grind when making this recipe. The smaller grind is softer, and exfoliates more gently than a courser grind. A larger grind can feel scratchy. I look for an espresso grind if I am buying it pre-ground at the market.
Since I usually make this Bulletproof Coffee Body Scrub with the last bits of stale coffee I have lying around in different bags, with different grinds spanning the gamut, I just pop the melange of grounds into my spice grinder and let the machine work its magic. Once the coffee is a fine powder, we are ready to move on.
Coconut sugar gets added next for even more gently exfoliation. Sugar actually aids in moisturization, helping your skin to pull in more water and hold it in for long lasting hydration. It also contains compounds that help dissolve dead skin cells and whisk them away revealing soft and radiant skin.
Then to our perfectly ground coffee grinds and sugar we add some coconut oil. Coconut oil adds moisture and binds our scrub together. Not only is this ingredient a moisturizing all-star, it can actually function as a cleanser and remove dirt and neutralize odors. Win-win.
Then, to make this Bulletproof Coffee Body Scrub a true gourmet experience, I highly recommend a dash of cinnamon. It ads a nice fragrance to the mix, but also comes with a powerhouse skin benefits of its own! Cinnamon soothes dry skin, reduces signs of aging, and can even help heal both eczema and acne.
The reason this is a "Bulletproof" Coffee Body Scrub is that it is made with coconut oil and whipped in the food processor until it all comes together and forms a creamy scrub. The ratio of coffee to coconut oil is carefully measured so that the scrub is ultra moisturizing, but does not solidify completely making it difficult yo use. Just scoop it out of the jar, and it will immediately melt onto your skin while you are scrubbing away.
