Make your own deliciously fragrant DIY Coffee Sugar Scrub at home! Wonderful for exfoliation and can be made with ingredients you already have on hand!

Every year for Mother’s Day I try really hard to focus on all the positives in my life. My own sweet mother passed away years ago and as much as I miss her I know that she would want nothing more than for me to celebrate with my own children and revel in all things good about motherhood. I am lucky to have a very special aunt and a mother-in-law whom I adore that I am able to celebrate with each year. Just this weekend I was warned not to look in the trunk of the car because apparently that’s where my Mother’s Day present is being hidden 🙂 I’m hoping it’s not a tire iron…

I love coming up with homemade gifts to give to special people in my life and this Coffee Sugar Scrub certainly fits the bill. It’s pretty much the perfect gift to give to any woman or girl in your life and the best part – you probably have everything you need in your cabinet right now.

I love the magic that can happen with a scrub. The exfoliation leaves your skin feeling so soft it’s amazing! This particular recipe is pretty dang awesome because it smells incredible! Coffee, nutmeg, and cinnamon really make for a deliciously fragrant scrub.

I love to package up this homemade scrub with some essentials for all women out there:

Chocolate. Dark Chocolate. Good chocolate. We deserve it.

Tea. Green Tea. Cause if we’re drinking tea we want the antioxidants and metabolism boost am I right?

Coffee. Try a new flavor. It goes perfect with the Coffee Sugar Scrub.

More Coffee. Starbucks always seems to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Sunscreen. There’s no better gift to ourselves or someone we love.

Magazine. You choose. Trashy or inspiring. Maybe both?

Other ideas: gum, candies, book, earrings, scarf, etc.

    Hi,
    I’m going to make this for a Christmas present. Thanks for posting! Have you had any issues with this going bad? There aren’t any perishable ingredients in it but I was just wondering about your experience with it.
    Thanks.

    Hi there! Just came upon your post. I’ll be making some for Christmas, but I was wondering: Can coconut oil be used in place of the olive oil? Does this recipe use sugar or salt? The recipe says sugar, but in the comments you mentioned salt…

      December 19, 2014 at 10:17 AM

      Definitely sugar Justin – I must have been super tired when I typed salt 😉 And I haven’t tried it with coconut oil but now I’m thinking I totally want to. It should still work!

    I just made up a batch of this for my hubby, since it’s an acceptable smell for a guy and he has horribly dry skin in the winter. I did a quick rub of it on my hands when I was done mixing up a batch and it is divine! I used coconut oil instead of olive oil, and vanilla bean coffee, which, along with the spices you suggest, left my hands smelling like a decadent latte from my favorite coffee shop!

    I found your recipe on Pinterest. My mom gave me some chocolate coffee in tea bags. I cut open the bags and made this scrub. I LOVE IT!!! I smelled so delicious in and out of the shower! Love the spices added in to the mix. Adds more warmth and yumminess!

    I’ve been using brown sugar scrubs but this post inspired me to give coffee a try. Do you think I could add vanilla extract to make it smell even better? Or would that just be excessive? haha. Thanks for the recipe!

      You could get a vanilla flavored coffee and that should work great! Thanks Jessica!

      Hey Colleen! No you want to use fresh because you want the caffeine to be in there 🙂 Have a great weekend!
