As the deodorant did not turn out the way I wanted it too I decided to move on to something else. I made some sugar scrub. I found a recipe and tried it but it seemed rough. I wanted something that would nourish my skin. I played around with it and made a batch that I just love. I added avocado oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and Bronner's soap along with the sugar. I absolutely love it. My skin feels like a million bucks when I am done with my shower.

Dianna, I've heard about the castor oil for the eyelashes. I haven't tried that one yet. I do use some coconut oil on my skin once in a while

Lori, I heard it was also good on cellulite but I don't have a problem with this so I'm not sure if it would work! But I sure love how my face glows and looks younger after using it. I also use castor on my eyelashes and coconut on my skin. Easy and simple beauty fixes that work for me!!

Dianna, I loved it. I made sure to rinse off good so as not to get any little "stickers" around. He He!!! My skin felt amazing. It feels like something that would be used at a spa.

At first I was afraid to use it on my face. Once I tried it I was hooked. It feels like something you would pay big bucks for at a spa

Dianna, that is funny. I had to send my hubby after some honey as we were out. I did try it and absolutely love it. My skin felt so soft. I tried it on my face also, washing very gently. I liked the way if feels on my skin when I'm using it and the way my skin feels after using it. Thank you so much for the tip

Hope you like it Lori! I do love using mine! Just rinse well after scrubbing because the grinds sometimes want to 'stick' around! Lol, pun intended! My dh kept trying to "flick" the grind off thinking it was a gnat or something!! Bwahaha!!

Krista, I'm about ready to make it. For sure I will have enough grounds by this weekend. I'll be glad to let you know how it goes. I love making different kinds of sugar scrubs.

MaryJanesNiece Posted - Jul 29 2019 : 8:23:04 PM
Lori, share with me how your scrub goes! I'm pretty sure you will beat me to it. I have a lot of other things I need to finish first.

Krista
loribeck Posted - Jul 28 2019 : 7:12:38 PM
Thank you, Dianna, I will give it a try. I have been saving some coffee grounds for the scrub since I now have enough for the miracle gro. I can't wait to try it.

MaryJanesNiece Posted - Jul 26 2019 : 3:24:32 PM
Diana that's super easy! I'm going to make me so and give it a try. I'll ask and see of any of my neighbors have any coffee grounds first since I will only be making a little for the first try. Thank you so very much for the tips and ideas.

Good morning Krista and Lori! I don't have a formula for my honey and coffee grind scrub realky. I just use a small tupperware, place my coffee grinds and probably use just enough honey to make it like a smooth paste. Its much better to apply it to dry skin than wet because you get the scrubbing benefits of the coffee then let it soak in a bit before rinsing to get the honeys skin conditioning benefits. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. But I do see wonderful results from its use!!! :)

Krista, I should think that if you go to a café and asked for whatever grounds they have they may give them to you. I used to ask at the collage and they would give me their grounds for my garden.

I'm paying attention as well. I would like to know how to make it! My feet could really use it!! Only problem is we don't have coffee grounds, but I will definitely get some.

Krista

Dianna and Krista, I have enough coffee grounds in my miracle gro and now it's time for me to make a sugar scrub. How much honey do I put in it? Do I need to add anything else besides the grounds and honey? I can't wait to see how it works.

Lori Beck
suny58 Posted - Jul 22 2019 : 12:39:34 PM
Oh YES Krista!! Plus your skin feels so smooth and I believe the caffeine works somehow tightening the skin. But the honey is awesome! Use it for my hair as well!! I buy local and I buy a lot of quart jars to see me through the year until the next season. Support for the local bee keepers and very beneficial for me. Win win!! If I dont use our coffee grinds for me I recycle around the rose bushes!!

Ohh! I love the idea of honey in a scrub. I bet it smells good too. I have never heard of using coffee grounds. Would it be the caffeine in it that makes your skin feel so good?

My kids laugh at me for reusing so many things. I always tell them it saves money and that makes it special. A penny saved is a penny earned. It's fun to learn new ways of using something that would otherwise end up in the landfill. I never thought of using honey in a scrub. Sounds interesting. Thank you

Oh Lori!! I love reusing, recycling, repurposing too!! Some of our grinds go to the roses the other I mix with either honey( GREAT SKIN CONDITIONER) or coconut oil. Both make an amazing simple but awesome scrub!!

Diana, I have never tried a coffee scrub. Sounds good though. I love finding ways to use things that might get tossed otherwise. I have been using most of my grounds right now for my homemade miracle gro. How do you make your coffee scrub?


Lori Beck
suny58 Posted - Jul 19 2019 : 5:04:57 PM
Awesome Lori! Thank you for sharing the foaming hand soap! I can't wait to try the recipe with some of my oils. I live making a coffee scrub! Makes my old skin feel 40 years younger!!

Lori, that is super easy! I think I will try and make me one in pumpkin spice next month! See how well that goes for me. Plus I need to finish our current foaming soap and save the bottle. Thanks Lori!
