Instructions Homemade Scrub from Coffee Grounds

Why a peeling?
We mix our own body scrub. This removes dead skin cells and makes the skin fresh and soft again – perfect for spring and summer. We use ingredients that are beneficial for the skin and are also found in the kitchen – ideally regional, organic or even as waste products. Therefore, we rely on cold-pressed organic oil, such as rapeseed oil, oats from Germany and coffee grounds. The exfoliating effect is created by the oats and coffee. Both are significantly gentler on the skin than, for example, salt and sugar, which are often used in DIY scrubs. Oats can also be sourced regionally, and coffee grounds are simply reused, as otherwise they would immediately end up in the garbage.

Recipe
Listed below are all ingredients as well as a few optional ingredients for the peeling. It can be used for the entire body or only partially for hands or feet.
Ingredients for the Peeling
- 6 tbsp oil
- 4 tbsp coffee grounds
- 2 tbsp oatmeal
- glass with 200 ml capacity; e.g. an old jam jar
Option 1
A teaspoon of honey, which has antibacterial properties, can also be added.
Option 2
For a warm marzipan scent, a few drops of plum kernel oil can be added. For a citrus scent, however, a little zest from a lemon or orange is ideal (which otherwise would end up in the trash).
