DIY COFFEE BODY SCRUB | Brighten, Smooth & Tone Your Skin

As a follow-up to the KEEP YOUR MELANIN POPPIN' video, here's my DIY Coffee Scrub you can use to exfoliate your skin to reveal the bright, smooth and moisturized melanin underneath.

INGREDIENTS / DIRECTIONS

MASON JAR (14oz jar)

CINNAMON (1 TBSP)
• Stimulates blood flow and in turn, plumps the skin reducing fine lines
• Contains antioxidants and restores skin's shine and texture

RAW SUGAR (2 TBSP)
• Has a rounder and gentler shape, which is great for light exfoliating, especially for sensitive skin
• Less drying than salt scrubs because of the absence of minerals
• Contains glycolic acid (which is the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid) which helps evens out skin tone, heals acne scarring, and minimizes hyper pigmentation.

COFFEE GROUNDS (Use as much until the jar is full)
• The caffeine in coffee grounds help tighten skin and the antioxidants fight the effects of skin aging (such as wrinkles, fine lines, etc.)

JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL (1.5 TBSP)
• Fights acne, eczema, and other skin irritations
• Tightens and cleanses pores to prevent acne from occurring
• Contains Vitamin E which nourishes the skin

SWEET ALMOND OIL (1.5 TBSP)
• Protects skin against UV radiation damage and keeps skin soft and supple
• Gently dislodges debris from deep within skin pores and follicles, and also may help prevent future acne because of its vitamin A content
• A natural remedy for eczema and psoriasis

JOJOBA OIL (1.5 TBSP)
• Soothes skin and helps with dryness
• Elasticity and softness

HONEY (2 TBSP)
• Provides B vitamins, zinc, iron and also hydrates the skin

COCONUT OIL (UNREFINED COLD PRESSED) (3 TBSP)
• Vitamin E
• Fatty acids (moisture, promotes growth, adds shine, reduces keratin loss (key component of hair and nails))
• Lauric acid (a fatty acid triglyceride that penetrates inside the hair shaft, has a high affinity for hair proteins, an antibacterial and antifungal nutrient)

SHEA BUTTER OIL (1.5 TBSP) (optional)
• The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in Shea butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin.
• Aids in the skin’s natural collagen production, smoothing the skin
