Detoxifying Coffee Scrub
Detoxifying Coffee Scrub
Detox your body with coffee. But not by drinking it. 😉
Coffee scrubs are my absolute favourite. My clients over in The Clear Skin Solution also are big fans. They have an incredible myriad of benefits. Let’s go through them, shall we?
- Exfoliates dead skin to help unclog your pores.
- Skin is your biggest detox organ, it’s important to keep these pores clean and open so the body can flush toxins out.
- Encourage better circulation of bodily fluids, which further aids in detoxification.
- Scrubbing away those dead cells reveals new, healthy skin underneath too.
- Caffeine found in coffee scrubs can increase blood flow, help regenerate the skin, and reduce cellulite.
- Caffeine’s also a vasodilator, it tightens and firms blood vessels — aka smooth skin for you.
Enough said. Moving on…
Sugar
Alright, so if you’ve followed me for any length of time you know my recipes are totally sugar-free. But, I can’t deny how amazing it is in body scrubs.
- Granules help exfoliate to remove flaky skin cells and brighten skin.
- Natural source of glycolic acid (aka alpha hydroxy acids) which helps to break down dead skin cells and encourage fresh cell turnover.
- Discourages ingrown hairs
- Natural humectant — draws moisture from the environment into your skin. Helps lock in moisture and keep skin hydrated.
More than just an aroma.
You may think that the essential oils in this detoxifying coffee scrub just give a nice aroma to it (which they totally do). But I’ve actually selected them for their benefits to the skin.
- Lavender: used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and irritations.
- Juniper Berry: acts as a natural skin toner and powerful detoxifier.
PS. Make sure to follow up your shower scrub with my Super Easy Body Butter to truly lavish your skin.

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.
Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!
I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."
I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
