There is nothing better than to come close to nature and feel its wonderful power to heal, cleanse and energize us. The recipe I am about to share with you is not only tested, but easy to make and incredibly effective.
Ingredients:
1 empty and clean container of your desired size;
Sugar;
Coffee
Cocoa;
1 Vanilla
Olive oil;
Please note: The amount of the ingredients depends on the size of your container. I usually use 250 ml container and that makes 2-3 tbs of sugar and 2-3 tbs of coffee, a little bit of cocoa and the rest is straightforward.
Add all the ingredients together and mix well. One of the first things you will notice about your newly acquired scrub is the scent. There is nothing like it and it lingers for hours after you’ve taken a shower. The skin is silky soft and smells wonderfully. The sugar will exfoliate, the coffee will energize and the olive oil will smooth and “feed” your skin. As you can see there is nothing artificial added in the scrub unlike the commercial brands you buy from the shop and is a lot cheaper. If you have a feeling that there is a “but” coming up, you are quite right.
The only downside of this heavenly scrub is the fact that the coffee and olive oil make a mess in your bathroom. The tiles will become greasy and slippery and the coffee will colour them brown, you might be in need of a one-off clean. Still though, I didn’t want to give up on my scrub, because seriously, how is it possible to have a shower and 8 hours later your skin still smells like olive oil, vanilla and cocoa! Who wants to give up on that?!
