How to Make a Coffee Sugar Scrub
With a few simple ingredients, you can treat yourself to a coffee-infused sugar scrub!
1/2 cup coffee grounds
1 cup organic brown sugar
1/2 cup oil (almond, olive or coconut work best)
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Step 1
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with a spoon. You can add more or less oil to your liking.
Step 2
Store in an air tight container. Since this recipe doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best if it’s used within a month or two.
How to Use Your Homeade Sugar Scrub
- Scoop a small amount of the Coffee Sugar Scrub in your hands with a spoon.
- Scrub all over your hands or feet – or wherever you’d like extra soft skin.
- Allow to soak into your skin for a few minutes. Enjoy this time to relax!
- Rinse well and then pat dry with a soft towel.
If you’re short on time, massage the scrub all over your body and rinse during your normal shower routine.
SAFETY NOTE: Be very careful while using your sugar scrubs on your feet while in the shower. The oils contained in scrubs can make your feet slippery.
How to Wrap a Sugar Scrub as a Gift
Here’s the best way to make your sugar scrub into a gift or party favor:
STEP 1
Find a pretty jar with a secure lid.
STEP 2
Tie a pretty ribbon or twine around the top of the jar and attach a tag.

Do the ingredients have to be organic and do you need the vitamin E oil
Erin says
The ingredients don’t have to be organic, it’s just better for you 🙂 The vitamin E oil just helps preserve your scrub so that it doesn’t go bad quickly. If you’re going to use it quickly, it’s not necessary.
