Java Almond Scrub

I saw this on living well yesterday morning. It makes a large batch. I think I am going to cut it in half until I know if I like it.

Java Almond Scrub

• 2 cups ground Coffee
• 1/2 cup Himalayan Pink Salt
• 1/2 cup Turbinado Sugar
• 1/3 cup Olive Oil
• 3 Tbs. Almond Oil

Combine all ingredients in an airtight container or jar; mix well. Scrub will keep in a cool, dry place for about a month. To use: Rub scrub in a circular motion over entire body, starting from feet to head. This helps to increase lymphatic drainage.

Over the last five years, caffeine has made an appearance in numerous skin care lines. Caffeine dehydrates fat cells by energizing them, which in turn causes the sodium/potassium component of the cells to vacate. Consequently, water disappears as well. Caffeine tightens and firms the skin, therefore reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Coffee contains natural oils which soften the skin while exfoliating it. Himalayan Pink Salt has over 80 essential and trace minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and copper. Himalayan Pink Salt helps to re-mineralize, remineralize, and draw toxins out of the skin. It also balances moisture content, relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and may heal skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Since olive oil has many beneficial antioxidant properties, it protects the skin from harmful free radicals and helps to reduce the signs of aging. Olive oil is high in Vitamin E, which makes it incredibly moisturizing and nourishing. Almond oil is extremely moisturizing and nourishing; it soothes skin irritation, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, and delays the aging process
