WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS WHIPPED SCRUB?
Sugar and coffee whipped scrub is basically a mixture of sugar, ground coffee, oils, and shea butter. These three ingredients are all-natural and have wonderful benefits for your skin. The coffee grounds help exfoliate, firm and tighten the skin while reducing cellulite. Coffee also has anti-inflammatory properties which reduce redness and irritation. Sugar has anti-bacterial properties which make it great for removing dead skin cells and treating acne or other blemishes on your face or body. The oils and shea butter moisturize the skin and locks in moisture leaving it smooth and soft. It’s a great way to treat dry skin without having to spend money on expensive treatments or products!
