Espresso Scrub for Your Tootsies

5.0(6)

It's messy and not quite appealing to look at, but this foot scrub uses coffe and sugar to make those crocodile-skinned extremeties become positively human again! (plus it smells great!)

Ingredients (5)

serves

3 -4 tablespoons ground coffee (i find the instant stuff works quite well because the granules are quite chunky, but any will do)coffee
3 tablespoons white sugarsugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar (optional, if you don't have any just use white sugar, it doesn't make much difference!) (optional)vanilla
oil (whichever oil you like, experiment with olive oil, coconut oil etc)oil
essential oil (optional)

Instructions (4 steps)

01Combine the coffee and sugar together in a small bowl.
02Add enough oil until the scrub forms a consistency that suits you (i find that it works best when it's more of a liquidy paste).
03You can experiment with a couple of drops of your chosen essential oils to create your own unique scent. A couple of suggestions are lavender, peppermint or cinnamon. You don't need to add any if you don't want to.
04*IDEA - if you'd like to make it a mocha scrub, try adding in a tablespoon of cocoa powder in step one.
