The season of festivities and countless dinner parties are soon upon us, and if you, like me, like to bestow upon your host a nice little present for having you over, keep reading, because this little DIY project is sure to go down a treat.
We all love a little TLC and pamper time, and a body scrub is the perfect gift to any hard-to-buy for hostess. The beauty about this scrub is that is it so easy to make, and the ingredients are all powerful natural beauty aids.
So there you have it. Mix, pour into a nice glass jar, decorate with a ribbon and a hand-written label, and be sure that yours if the gift that any hostess will remember the most. Oh, and don’t forget to keep some for yourself – this scrub is perfect to slough off that scaly winter skin!
What you need:
Coffee – coffee is one of the main ingredients in many pricey body treatments as it’s a natural cure for temporarily treating cellulite when massaged into the skin. However in raw form the grounds actually gently exfoliate the skin smells pretty divine too.
Coconut Oil – already being hailed as the perfect natural beauty product, coconut oil is naturally anti microbial, super hydrating to help restore moisture into dry skin, and leaves a natural glow on the skin. Just make sure you go for the unrefined, raw variety.
Epsom Salt – Epsom Salt have great exfoliating properties, feels good on the skin and is actually a mineral containing magnesium and sulfate which are natural detoxifiers when absorbed through the skin.
What you do:
1. Fill an empty jar with 1 cup coffee grounds and 1/4 cup coconut oil.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of chunky epsom salts.
3. Stir together. Done.
Remember, store the scrub in an airtight container. It will last like this for almost 2 weeks, but if you want a longer shelf life, put in refrigerator and let set for 30 minutes at room temperature before using as coconut oil will solidify.
Be sure to write a sweet little note on the back of your label or on the card accompanying the gift, and thank your hostess for the party or invitation.
Good. To. Go.
