This recipe comes from a dear friend.
Coffee and sugar scrub
4 parts used coffee grounds
1 part raw sugar (or white if that's all you have)
sunflower, safflower or almond oil: enough to make the paste into a paste!
Combine the ingredients in a dish and stir together. A few minutes before you intend to take a shower bring the paste and a snack into the shower (do not turn the water on). Scrub down your arms, legs, feet and anywhere else you'd like with your nice, brown, coffee paste. Now you'll need to eat that snack in the shower while the scrub "dries" onto your body (Italian ice works well for this, or a cup of yogurt- you can smear half on your face for a nice pick me up and eat the rest). When your snack is finished it is time to turn the shower on and to rinse (not wash) off the coffee scrub (and the yogurt if applicable). Now it is time to rub your feet on things, you will not believe how soft they are!
In addition to making your skin silky smooth and nice smelling, this scrub is excellent for varicosities. The caffeine form the coffee grounds helps to shrink varicose veins and reduce vein pain.
Note: this scrub will not keep, only make enough for one use at a time
