Making my own healthy cosmetics and body care is something I like to dabble with now and again, and something I've come back to more recently in order to try and not only save some money, but to also be more health conscious, since I became a contributing writer for a health and wellness website,
Trevida. One recipe I'd been saving for this week was a homemade exfoliating scrub with microderm abrasion properties. For a fraction of the price of what I'd normally pay for a scrub for my face, I made this awesome coffee scrub that is just as effective as it is healing for my skin!

If you've never dried used coffee grounds, don't worry - I hadn't either. I'm told you can actually use them undried right into scrubs, but the idea of doing that didn't seem too appealing, so I read through
these tips on drying coffee grounds and ended up putting them in the oven to dry out for about 5-8 minutes.
This recipe is a guaranteed keeper in my book!
