With two stretch mark and cellulite-fighting ingredients, the powerful combination of coconut oil and coffee grounds is great for your skin and smells heavenly, too! Coffee is not only packed with antioxidants making it anti-aging and detoxifying, it is a natural astringent that (temporarily) makes your skin tighter and firmer. Coconut oil is one of our favorite beauty products because of its many amazing benefits (read more about it here) and has tons of Vitamin E, which is the ultimate anti-aging vitamin.

Don't coffee grounds clog up the sink or tub???
Dawn, we suggest using finely ground coffee grounds if possible, but another option would be to apply the scrub and wipe off with a wash cloth before showering.
Even if the grounds aren't brewed, do they work as well?
Faith, freshly ground unused beans are recommended, but used grounds will work as well!
i made this today...using your measurements but mine are a very dark brown
I just made these las using your measurements...and they are almost black!
Did I do something wrong?
Judging by the picture, I'm thinking she meant 1/2c beans which makes it 1tbsp ground. Maybe?
Sorry for the confusion here everyone! We modified the ingredients to reflect a range of 1-4 cup to 1/2 cup coffee grounds; however, you can absolutely use more or less depending on your personal preference!
Do they have to be stored in the fridge or freezer? If you are gift wrapping them for a present, will there be a possibility of them melting?
We recommend these being chilled in the refrigerator before gifting, but since it's cooler this time of year, they can stand a few hours while being transported. Hope that helps!
just a warning... these will go mouldy in about a week if you keep them at room temperature (and my room is really cold!). so maybe not so suitable for care packages or gifting. but the scrub is divine, especially with virgin coconut oil - smells so good and leaves your skin so soft! if you don't drink coffee at home, you can get the grounds for free from starbucks.
Can you put it on your face as well? Or is that not good for your skin?
Lucy, we think these will be fine to use on the face. If you have sensitive skin however, it would be probably best to consult the advice of a professional before using.
Haha mine are black! How are yours so pretty and white????
Savannah, try altering the amount of grounds to achieve a darker or lighter scrub!
I made these today with coconut oil from aldi's which is cold pressed, I melted it in the microwave and added the coffee grounds, put them in the freezer to harden, then took them out after they hardened, they've been sitting out for several hours and they are still extremely hard, is there something I can add to soften them?
Caitlin, unfortunately we have only made this scrub with the ingredients provided. Maybe try bagging the scrubs and submerging in warm water for a couple seconds.
