Coffee is not just a breakfast drink. Did you know that coffee is chock full of antioxidants? This is precisely why it is a wonderful ingredient to use in any beauty treatment because the antioxidants can be topically absorbed into the skin so that they have the ability to neutralize free radicals.

Here is a simple spa recipe that you can make at home to experience the benefits of coffee.

Coffee Body Scrub

• 2 cups of coarsely ground coffee
• 1/2 cup raw sugar or sea salt
• 2-3 T massage oil Mix all ingredients together.
