Coffee and Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub
This homemade coffee face and body scrub is a gentle coffee scrub, so it can be used as a body scrub, and / or as a facial exfoliant. The coffee and oatmeal are ground into a fine powder so it will not be too harsh on the skin. Add your favorite essential oil - I used Vanilla!

- Use more or less drops of essential oil depending on how strong you like the scent.
