The raving benefits of coffee scrub!
by Kellie & Abbie Thomas
We have hand-made our coffee scrub with the thought of mum in mind because our mission is to support you through your journey of motherhood.
We know that means a little self-care can go a long way when it's been a tiring day, week or month.
Amongst the busy mum life it can be hard to find any time to yourself and the only time you may find a little peace, is in the bathroom, going to the toilet or taking a shower, so next time you can snatch a two-minute shower, simply scrub your body and step out feeling good about yourself and everything you're doing.
Here are the benefits each ingredient can bring your body...
- Coffee grinds
Coffee grinds act as a natural exfoliator to rid you of dead skin. Massaging these grinds on your body also helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite as the caffeine assists in dilating blood vessels beneath the skin to improve overall blood flow. We use Fairtrade, organic and recycled coffee grinds, so while you’re caring for your skin, you’re caring for our Earth.
- Organic coconut oil
Applying coconut oil to your skin helps to keep it hydrated. Coconut oil also contains medium-chain fatty acids which have antimicrobial properties; helping to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms. This is especially important for skin health, as several types of undesired skin issues, such as acne and cellulitis, are caused by bacteria or fungi.
- Organic shea butter
Shea butter also contains anti-inflammatory and healing properties, helping to calm redness and swelling. the rich tree-nut oils in shea butter can soak into your skin and create a soft barrier that seals in moisture.
- 100% essential peppermint oil
Peppermint oil has an amazing ability to naturally cleanse and rejuvenate your skin, leaving you feeling well restored. Peppermint oil contains antiseptic and antibacterial properties that can work as a natural alternative for clearing acne. The cooling effect in peppermint can help soothe dry and irritated skin. Its crisp and refreshing scent helps fill your bathroom with freshness and rejuvenation.
And finally, as a whole, our coffee scrub can help reduce the signs of stretch marks, which is especially helpful after having your little bub. The caffeine found in coffee scrubs typically increases blood flow, hence reducing the appearance of cellulite and giving your skin a more even tone.
We hope you're inspired to rub your body with our skintastic coffee scrub!
Go on... you won't regret it.
