Coffee Scrub

Skin care is a topic that is talked about all the time. I am constantly trying to find products that will work with my complicated skin type. I have oily acne-prone skin, with that being said I have to find products that not only will control my oil but also keep me hydrated. However, besides trying new products either high-end or drugstore I am also very interested in products that can be used from my kitchen. For example today I will talk about coffee scrub.

I've seen many people on Instagram use coffee scrubs for both body and face but the product I'm using was not found online. A nice lady, friend of mine that I would always see at my old job would use our espresso grounds and make a scrub out of it. She made so many and gave me a jar for free so I decided why not try it.

Cute packaging right!
So I decided to use this to exfoliate and left it in my skin like a mask for about 10 minutes. I kept it in my fridge so it felt fresh on my skin. It also seemed to have coconut oil which is very moisturizing. Heres a little preview of how it looks once applied:





After washing off the coffee scrub I immediately noticed my skin smoother and I had little glow. I didn't look too oily but also not matte. My face felt balanced, hydrated and clean. I have some exfoliating products that also gave me similar results but those products are from Lush.
This product was not made by a company, it was completely home made and a little goes a long way with it. I am extremely happy with the results and can not thank the lady who made this enough. I can ask her for the exact ingredients in this and hopefully she will share her recipe so that you too can make this at home! If you are interested please let me know :)

Comment below if you would like a follow up review or suggestions on what I should review next.
