This coffee sugar scrub is the perfect morning pick-me-up for your skin, and it makes a fabulous gift, too!

I don't know about you, but I've got a couple of coffee lovers on my gift list this year. I could always pick up a pound of Dunkin Donuts coffee to shove in their stockings, but this sugar scrub is so much better.
Not only does this sugar scrub smell amazing, but it's great for sloughing off dead skin cells.

How to use coffee sugar scrub
While I'm not a coffee drinker, I do love the smell of coffee in the morning. Using this homemade coffee scrub is a great way to get your mind and body ready for the day!
- Wet your skin with warm water.
- Apply a small about of the DIY scrub to your skin and massage in a circular motion.

That's it! Easy-peasy.
NOTE: I do not recommend using this on sensitive skin or on your face.
Variations
- Add ¼ teaspoon of vitamin E oil, which helps moisturize and can minimize scars.
- For a blend of scents, add a few drops of orange or peppermint essential oils, both of which pair beautifully with the rich coffee scent.

I made this today and it smells so good! My daughter has a birthday this week and loves coffee and sugar scrubs, so I had to make it for her! Is it supposed to be lumpy or smooth? I may have it too smooth, it isn't runny, but not real thick either. But, it is great for a gift and she will love it. Just don't know if I should add more sugar?
