Guatemalan Coffee Face Scrub

Written by: Katie McComas, Creative Director

All-natural coffee face scrub that will leave your skin feeling uh-mazing! We've heard amazing things about coffee face scrubs, so we decided to get in on this all-natural beauty routine! Highly recommend, especially because the scrub smells SO good 

You will need:

  • 2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee (it can be left over grinds from your coffee machine, but fresh is best)

  • 1 juicy lime or lemon

  • 1 tablespoon of honey (raw honey if possible, and if you can warm it up first it feels uh-mazing)

  • 2 pinches of salt

Step 1: Place coffee grounds into a small bowl.

 Step 7: Let sit for 15 minutes. We found it was best to lie down while waiting :)
