Free Online Kitchen Cosmetics
The Next Eco Fair has been cancelled due to the current situation, so Friends of the Earth decided to go on a Virtual Eco Fair. It will start tomorrow !And I am proud to say that I will be part of it ! I offer a Kitchen Cosmetics session, making Body scrub, Facial Scrub and Facial Mask.
Body Scrub : coffee and vegetal oil
If you are a fan of body scrubs, this coffee grounds scrub recipe should appeal to you! It only contains two ingredients that you often find in your kitchen cupboards: coffee grounds and vegetable oil.
One of the advantages of this recipe is that it makes it possible to recover coffee grounds from your coffee morning rather than throwing them directly or put them in the composter. You will see that it is also very economical, it is not necessary to ruin yourself to have a good scrub. In short, for me this scrub is all good and even my best !
Coffee grounds : exfoliating
Coffee grounds are ideal for exfoliating the skin and removing dead skin. It also stimulates blood circulation, promotes firming of the skin and the elimination of cellulite. Coffee ground grains are very fine so that it can allow a gentle exfoliation. We sometimes twick this recipe using brown sugar for a deeper exfoliation or for feet scrub for example.
In that case brown sugar could be a good alternative of coffee grounds. I love using kitchen coarse salt or even Epsom salt which is very sane for our skin.
And just in case you don’t know : coffee grounds are very good for piping : they help in removing hairs, grease and dirt in piping, if you flow warm water just after.
Vegetable oil : nourishing
Vegetal oil will facilitate application and also nourish the skin. In this natural beauty product recipe, we choose olive oil, but you can also choose coconut oil, sweet almond, macadamia nut oil, jojoba oil. Lots of combinaisons are possible ! Choose the one you have and you enjoy the smell. The scrub has to be really very pleasant.I love the scent of coconut oil and coffee, so I am used to this formulation.
