Summer is one of my favorite times of year because I can wear adorable shorts, swim in the pool, and go to the beach. Summer is also a frustrating time of the year because all of the things I love doing during this time require me to shave my legs. I spend time in the shower shaving, but my legs aren't perfectly smooth. Luckily, I have found a solution to my problem, so I can spend my summer days with the smoothest and silkiest legs possible. My solution: Exfoliating my legs. I have found the best way to do this is to use sugar scrubs, and since I basically live off of coffee, I have found a way to combine my favorite drink with my favorite DIY.
What you'll need:
- Medium bowl
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- Approximately ½ a cup of ground coffee
- About 1- 1 ½ cups of canola and coconut oil blend or olive oil
What to do:
- Pour in about ½ a cup of ground coffee (I just pour in enough to give my scrub a coffee scent)
- Pour both types of sugars into a medium bowl and mix them together
- Pour in olive oil or canola and coconut oil into the mixture until you get the desired consistency of your scrub
That's all! This recipe makes about 3 small mason jars-worth of the scrub. I love this recipe because it doesn't take long and it works amazingly! I usually use it once a week on my legs, and if I have a special event I use the scrub in the shower and then moisturize my legs with lotion to make my legs super silky and smooth. I hope you enjoy this scrub as much as I do!
Have a great day!
Emily
