This homemade antioxidant coffee body scrub exfoliates the skin, helps reduce the appearance of cellulite, and moisturizes the skin with coconut oil. It’s the perfect body scrub for the coffee lover in your life!
Body scrubs are a great product to help your skin feeling moisturized and nourished. You can spend $12 to $25 for a high quality scrub or just a few dollars making it home with organic ingredients.
When making homemade scrubs, sugar, salt, oats, grains, and coffee are the key ingredients for a great exfoliant base. They all offer different properties for the skin, but I choose to use coffee for an ultimate exfoliation because it’s high in antioxidants, which help lesson or prevent the effects fo free radicals.
Several years ago, I worked for a Bath and Body company. I fell in love with their coffee and cocoa scrubs. The coffee body scrub was known to help reduce cellulite. I used it for several months and found that it helped to firm and smooth my skin. Caffeine in the scrub is what supposedly helps reduce cellulite. While I don’t claim that this scrub will minimize cellulite (though that would be a bonus), I will tell you that coffee and coconut oil are rich in antioxidants, which are very beneficial for the skin.
How To Make DIY Coffee Scrub
The base of this coffee sugar scrub uses fresh ground coffee, organic cane sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Fresh coffee grinds contain antioxidants, but you can substitute fresh grounds for used grounds if you like.
Instructions: Use a coffee grinder to grind one cup of coffee beans. In a medium bowl, mix the coffee grounds and sugar. I use organic white sugar, but brown sugar and raw sugar are great options too.
Next, mix in a 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted or soft), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Ground cinnamon is added for its warming effects on the skin (and it smells incredible).
After you mix the ingredients up, scoop them into a glass mason jar or container of choice. Store the scrub in a cool dry place and use within six months. Note: Add a few drops of vitamin e oil to help extend the shelf life of this coffee sugar scrub. Alternatively, you can add a preservative. I haven’t personally used a preservative in this scrub but Geogard ECT would be my choice. This preservative should be .6-1% of the formula if you choose to use it.
How to use coffee scrub:
- Use 1-2 tablespoons of the coffee body scrub to exfoliate your skin.
- Rub gently in a circular motion to massage and rub into your skin.
- Rinse off thoroughly with warm or hot water in the shower. You may want to use a drain catcher to collect grounds from going down the drain.
FAQ
What is coffee scrub good for?
Coffee scrubs exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and may even help reduce cellulite. Caffeine appears to have some advantages for skin health. Some research suggests that caffeine may help reduce cellulite and dimples on the skin. Another benefit of using coffee on your skin is that coffee is high in antioxidants, which are amazing for your skin.
Is it good to scrub your face with coffee?
While there are many benefits to using coffee on your face, I personally wouldn’t use this recipe as a face scrub. Ground coffee is very abrasive on the face and may irritate the skin. If you’re looking for the benefits of coffee for your face, I recommend using my coffee body butter instead. Update: This coffee face scrub recipe is made with fine ground coffee and is safe to use on sensitive skin!
What can I use in place of coconut oil?
Almond oil (or sweet almond oil) is a great alternative and can be substituted 1:1 in this recipe. Olive oil, fractionated coconut oil, grapeseed oil and macadamia nut oil are other good alternatives to coconut oil.
Can I add essential oils or fragrance oils to this scrub?
Absolutely! I don’t use synthetic fragrances, but essential oils are great in body scrubs. I suggest adding ten to fifteen drops of essential oils to the scrub to start off, then add more if needed. My favorite oils to add to this coffee scrub are cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, copaiba, and cassia essential oils.
Could used coffee grounds be used to make this body scrub?
Yes! Used coffee grounds will work in this homemade coffee scrub, but you need to dry them out in a dehydrator or oven before using them in this recipe.

Notes
This very blog is obviously awesome and diverting. I have found a lot of interesting tips out of this blog. I ad love to go back over and over again. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for revealing your ideas. I’d also like to mention that video games have been ever evolving. Modern technology and inventions have made it simpler to create realistic and enjoyable games. These entertainment games were not actually sensible when the actual concept was first being used. Just like other kinds of technological know-how, video games too have had to advance through many many years. This itself is testimony to the fast growth and development of video games.
I like looking through a post that will make people think. Also, thank you for allowing for me to comment!
can i sue any other oil
Sure! Almond oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil are all great alternatives for this recipe.
★★★★★
What preservtive can be used for this scrub?? And quantity pls??
I use Optiphen at 1%
can we use Geogard ECT?
May be a silly question, but do you use fresh ground coffee or is it OK to use the stuff that’s left over from making coffee?
Used coffee grounds will mold. Fresh works best for this recipe 🙂
Just an idea, I dehydrate my used coffee grids for diy projects!
Do you use a dehydrator for this?
★★★★★
Just bake in the oven at 80 degrees for a few hours
For how long can i atore this scrub for?
Regards
Mili
I haven’t personally used a preservative in this scrub but Geogard ECT would be my choice. This preservative should be .6-1% of the formula. Hope this helps!
★★★★★
This is such a good recipe.
Thank you very much for sharing. I’m also a coffee lover so, it’s a bonus for me.
★★★★★
Great post! Nothing beats a good coffee body scrub!
What would be the shelf life without any preservative?
★★★★★
One month as long as you don’t get any water into the scrub.
★★★★★
Can I substitute the sugar for honey?
The sugar is what gives it the extra grains e=and everyth\
★★★★★
Can you use MCT oil for this?
I don’t see why not!
★★★★★
This is great. I feel it is a great combination.Thanks for sharing
★★★★★
I’ve seen a few receipts for a similar scrub but with half the amount of sugar. (other quantities of coffee/coco oil the same).
What difference does 1 full cup and 1 half cup of sugar make to this scrub? Tank you!
Can this be used to make commercially. What would be the shelf life?
You would need to add a preservative to make this to sell. Shelf life is 2-3 months.
I just tried this and love it! I added some almond extract for a scent boost!
★★★★★
How long will this scrub last?
I want to store it in a plastic screw top container but it immediately fogged up, should I let it dry out before putting the lid on? Will the scrub get moldy sitting in the container?
Shelf life is 2-3 months if you store it properly. I suggest refrigerating it if you don’t plan to use it up quickly.
★★★★★
I’m about to make the scrub but wondering about the cinnamon and vanilla. Do we use essential oils or the stuff we bake with?
The 1/2 cup of coconut oil, is that measured before or after it’s melted?
I measured it as melted and I used ground cinnamon (from the kitchen) and vanilla extract.
What preservative can use for the scrub ??
I haven’t personally used a preservative in this scrub but Geogard ECT would be my choice. This preservative should be .6-1% of the formula.
★★★★★
Does using salt instead of sugar change the smell of the scrub??
It may smell less sweet, maybe?
★★★★★
Dumb question. Can I use decaf? I have a can of Maxwell Hoise that taste like crap.
I would assume not due to it being the caffeine in the scrub that takes effect.
Decaffeinated might make you smell good but won’t have as many benefits.
I would still work as an exfoliant just fine! A yummy smelling one!!!!

Hi Coconut Mama,
I made this coffee scrub today and tested on the back of my hand. After I rinsed off, I see there is a layer of oil show up on the back of my hand. This is my first time DIY. Can you explain me how to get rid of the oily layer?
I altered the recipe a bit since I run out of sugar. So I put 2 cup X ground coffee, 1 cup X coconut oil, 1 Tablespoon X cinnamon and 2 X Vannilla extract.
Thanks
Hi 🙂
I was wondering if I can use used coffee ground?
or does it have to be fresh?
Fresh is best (you’ll get the antioxidants) but what I’m worried about is the possibility of mold forming from used coffee grounds. One person commented that they dried their used coffee grounds out before making the scrub to help with this problem.
yes , that’s what I do
I’ve utilize my used coffee grounds and dry them out thoroughly in the oven. I keep my scrub in the refrigerator. No issues with it molding.
★★★★★
Coconut oil will completely mess up your plumbing. It solidifies in the pipework causing terrible blockages. I would never wash this down my drains.
All oils do this you just need to sporadically clean your drainage using hot water/vinegar.
Hi I want to try this but where will I get fresh coffee grounds if I don’t drink coffee. What’s another source I can use?
I think you can ask for some used coffee grounds from your neighborhood coffee shops. Starbucks gives them away for free.
U can buy cheap coffee at dollar store n such
You can get cheap coffee at places such as dollar store..I paid $2
How much does this recipe make?
I only use “used” coffee grounds. I spread them out on paper towels for a few days until they are completely dry. Used coffee grounds have so many uses, I don’t throw them away. Good coffee isn’t cheap. 😉 Slightly melt the coconut oil so it mixes well then refrigerate to harden. My scrub is amazing. I always keep it on hand & save some extra in the fridge. I don’t use cinnamon or vanilla either.
Hi there. My scrub (first attempt) went mouldy after a few days.
Could you suggest what I can do to stop this?
I put it in a mason jar and they were used coffee grains
Also, You suggested using a preservative for commercial use. Could you recommend one?
She said to not use used coffee grinds several comments ago and multiple times as it causes mold. I’m sure that is why. Use fresh ones or ones dried in a dehydrator or in your oven. She also recommended a preservative above as well.
I’m on my phone and lost I’m the comments, I can’t find the recommended preservative. Do you know what it was?
I use optiphen plus recommended usage .75-1.5%
Love making this for myself, friends and family! It’s a popular gift. Xx

I just made a batch for gift baskets, and it smells amazing!

What kind of vanilla are you all using?
Thank you ?
Do you know roughly how long they can be ‘baked’ for?
I’ve got a BIG question… My coffee scrub makes me smell like my gandmother’s old cigarette tray… WHY??? did i do something wrong?
Hmmm I’m not sure why that is. What kind of coffee did you use?
Question how do you use it? Mix with soap? Rub it on what?
I found my scrub to smell when I kept the top on it. So I started leaving it where it can stay dry but within arms reach of the shower with the top left off.
It will smell when it’s getting too old
I love this! ❤️Thanks so much
Hello,
I love your web page. Can you please tell me if you could use this scrub on you face to help with oily or acne skin???
I have relatively oily skin, and acne (super frustrating right?!) what I’ve discovered is this- don’t use the acne face wash- it makes it worse – but instead wash your face with water and coconut oil, and then just wash it off- don’t use soap. Then cleanse with Apple Cider Vinegar/ water to tone and also purifies the pores!!
Also this scrub- which is fantastic does not make the skin oily. It’s a rehydrated and exfoliating scrub!!! Like the coconut oil on its own, it doesn’t make your skin oily. It helps hydrate and clean out the pores without being a jealous cleaner like a lot of cleaners for the face in the market!!!!
It’s best not to use coconut oil on your face as it is considered highly comedogenic. As the molecules are so large, the skin can not absorb it and therefore it can block pores.
On the body it is not so bad as long as you wash it off 🙂
Coffee should be roasted coffee beans or green coffee beans ? Can we use the normal coconut oil ?
What is the Vanilla extract good for? Is it just for a pleasant scent or does it do nice things for the skin…. ?
There are a TON of health benefits from Vanilla: it is anti-inflammatory, it contains B vitamins, it protects against free radicals, and SO MUCH MORE!
I just used this scrub for the first time and I am absolutely in love with it! this is an amazing recipe and the coffee aroma helps you feel refreshed and energized.
hi can I substitute sugar for sea salt?
Yes!
Will raw sugar work?
@ Elizabeth Trainer you can substitute sugar with the salt. But salt is more abrasive. So be cautious when rubbing on ur skin. VERY CAUTIOUS.
YOU WILL NEVER BUY LOTION FROM STORES AGAIN.
★★★★★
You can. But salt is more abrasive..pls be CAUTIOUS if u do so
I’m drying out my used coffee grinds to try this but wondered if I really need to add the sugar/salt or can I just use coffee and coconut oil? Also, once I mix, will the coconut oil not go solid again? Thanks!
The salt / sugar I believe acts as the exfoliant or “scrub” part so you may not get those benefits with just coffee 🙂
How long does the coffee coconut scrub keep ? Thx!
If I’m not mistaken, up to 2 months in a sealed container!
Is there a certain rupee of coffee you would recommend?
Also, should they be freshly ground or used?
Can I store it and for how long?
I was unemployed and very broke this Xmas I quadrupleed this recipe to make gifts this year. Awesome.
★★★★
I’m planning on doing the same thing for Christmas this year.
Should I use brewed coffee grounds or fresh unbrewed coffee grounds? Will this mold? How long is it good for? I know if I leave coffee grounds in k-cup pods to dry they will mold over time if there is too much moisture.
Fresh! Used coffee grounds will mold.
Well, dang – I just made two batches with used grounds I’d been saving. I will store in the refrigerator and just take what I need into the shower with me. Will that work?
Yes that should work fine.
My understanding is you can bake the used coffee grounds on the lowest oven setting to take out the moisture. Then use to make the scrub?
Do you know roughly how long they can be ‘baked’ for?
Will the coconut oil cause blockage in my plumbing once it solidifies?
THANK YOU! I love this personally! Now I’m using it for Christmas gifts.
★★★★★
I was wondering is the texture in this pic from the sugar? Or is the coffee coarse? I have a fine powdery coffee, but when scrubbed on the body the grains are micro size but I can feel the scrub.
Does this sound about right?
Hi!
I just wanted to clarify something: The coffee grounds are “raw” not “‘used” right? I would think if they were “used” this may cause mold….what do you think?
Thank you!
Christy
★★★★★
This is exactly what I was wondering!
You dry it out first
Can used coffee grounds be used to make this?
Can you use the coffee ground thats been filtered through or do you need unsused coffee ground ?
Fresh is best! If you use the coffee grounds to make coffee the water will not mix well with the coconut oil and will also shorten the shelf life of your scrub.
what is the shelf life for this scrub?
6-9 months, just make sure you don’t get water in the scrub. That will reduce the shelf life.
Should this be stored in the fridge? Or is 6-9 months stored in regular room temperature?
Just store at room temperature it’s best ..
Can I substitute cocoa butter for the coconut oil?? how do you think this would turn out?
★★★★★
Thank you for sharing! I’m making this right now… I’m curious to know how long this will last in the fridge? Thank you 🙂
★★★★★
Could you use fractionated coconut oil instead?
I’m wondering the same thing. Did you try it?
Thanks for the information (: Can we substitute coconut oil with argan oil? Will it improve the results if we do so?
★★★★★
Can I substitute the sugar for honey?
Hey I read the recipe and I was just wondering if I could leave the crystalized sugar out, because I don’t have any right know..?

Thanks for sharing. I love this recipe . It makes my skin feel so soft & energized. I’m a sucker for coconut oil!!! Do you happen to have a recipe for spray on body lotion using coconut oil?

It’ll last at least 6 months. Try not to get any water in the jar to prevent it from spoiling.
Hi, is it safe to use this coffee scrub on your face?
Does your coffee scrub every get moldy, I have tried making different ones in the past and it has gone moldy! Thanks
Thank you so much for this recipe. Can I use the coffee grinds after making coffee with them. Would it still have enough strength left in them.
★★★★★
Do you worry about the coffee grounds clogging the drain? =) This scrub sounds awesome! Thank you!
Do you find that coffee scrubs will clog your sink/shower drains? I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to get a drain strainer..
This sounds terrific, but I can’t do it.
Here’s my problem, if I use something on my skin, I don’t want to put that same ingredient in my mouth.
I love coffee and I like coconut oil, but if my skin smells like coconut oil, I don’t want to eat something that also smells like my skin.
So I’ve decided to just eat coconut oil and not use it topically.
Maybe it’s just my issue.
★★★★
Sounds like you need to STOP using toxic chemicals. Right now.
Sam… Are you pregnant? lol. THere are many toiletries/HBA made with ingredients that double from our food chain that you’ve probably already put on your body and on your tastebuds – enjoy the party!
Question: Do I use used coffee grounds? Or unused coffee grounds?
Used coffee grounds will cause it to mold. Also not sure how effective it would be if they’re damp…
Hi There, I want to make this fabulous coffee scrub as Christmas gifts. My question, are the coffee grounds used/recycled or are they fresh?
Thank you~
Mary
Hi!
I really want to try this recipe! Can you tell me:
1. Does the coffee gets moldy?
2. Does the sugar get sticky on your skin?
Thanks!!!
I made this about a month or so ago with dried spent grounds (i don’t really mind about the lesser antioxidants). The coffee aroma is still nice and bold. I havent had any issues with mold. I make sure i only scoop 1 time with very clean hands as not to introduce bacteria. Usually i use jars but this is in plastic and still no problems. Thanks for posting!

How long would this last for sealed?
Please can you advise what the shelf life of the coffee bean body scrub is likely to be. I have made a batch up and am storing it in an airtight jar. Thank you in advance
what can i add that is good for skin yet adds to the shelf life,thank you,dawn
Adding salt or sugar will help with the shelf life. Coconut oil also has antimicrobial properties. Make sure the coffee stays as dry as possible.
what kind of organic coffee do you get for this and how many oz does this recipe make,how long does it keep , i want to add a scrub like this to my skincare line,i want to add to it as well ,is that ok?is it ground coffee? thank you dawn
Hi there! I was wondering if you could tell me how many grams this makes?? Thanks!
hI THERRE,
I relay want to feel the organic coconut oil benefits.
I got dark marks on my face can it help in those?
I. Also use coconut oil and would love to learn More
Hi there Coconut Mama

Everything has to be organic? What happens if we use non organic ingredients?
HI
soo wana try this recipe 🙂 is it safe to you on areas where small spider vieans are, what you think?
wouldn’t it be better to use raw green coffee instead of roasted coffee? (its just i live in hawaii and i can go pick green coffee and use in recipe.)
Please reply asap.
Thanks
Can you use used coffee grounds in this scrub?
How long can we keep this scrub for? And do we have to store it in the fridge for it to stay good?
I would strongly advise against using this every day. Even twice a week might be a bit too much for some people. It will damage your skin if you overdo it, especially if you chose to make it with salt, which is more abrasive and also will suck the moisture right out of you.
Absolutely gorgeous. Really amazing scrub. I suffer with horrendous eczema and extremely dry skin. I made this and although not a cure it was fabulous and my skin has been slightly improving ever since. Thank you very much xx
Hi Tiffany,
I loved your recipe. I wanted to know the role of the sugar or salt in this recipe. Also, I was wondering whether we use sugar crystals or powdered sugar? I sometimes use coconut oil to oil my hair. Will that do?
Salt or sugar ae both physical exfoliants. They put most of the scrubbing action in yours scrub.
Also powdered sugar will dissolve in the solution. Using raw sugar will give you the most course scrub where salt will result in a finer scrub.
hey I used olive oil instead is that okay?
Great idea, do you think the salt/sugar could be replaced with epsom or Magnesium salts?
Yes! Finally something about coffee grounds.
What is the best way to rinse coffee ground scrub as not to get it down the drain and clog it? I would prefer to scrub in the shower a I live in an apartment and can’t go outside to scrub or anything. Also don’t want to make a mess all over the bathroom floor but I just read in many places that coffee grounds are very bad for your pipes and can clog them quite quickly so I was wondering if you had any advice on that.
Just made this yesterday morning. Poured it into pint aized mason jars. Smelled amazing! Followed the recipe just like it said. I have one slight issue though. Went to use the scrun later that night and after opening the lid, the top of the scrub was super dried out. Anyone else experience this after making and how can I remedy this? Wanted to give as gifts but not if its a dry blob
★★★★★
I wonder what Peppermint essential oil would be like to add to this instead of cinnamon and vanilla. I will have to experiment with it.
Can you do it without coconut oil??
You could, but you wouldn’t get the same moisture for the skin. You could try with extra virgin olive oil or Shea butter or a combination of the two – but the best effect would be the coconut oil.
Love this recipe! Any trick to keeping coconut oil-based sugar scrubs from solidifying at room temperature?
★★★★★
hoe fineky di i grind the cofee? course, medium or fine?
I agree with another comment that said this will have a shelf life of about one week, unless you use a spoon to get it out of the jar. Especially if your using it in the shower. whenever you introduce water to a product like this bacteria, mold and yeast begin to grow.
Does this have do be refrigerated? My experience with coffee is that it gets moldy.
Hello… does this use fresh coffee grounds or the ones that have been used to make coffee already?
Fresh is what you need for the antioxidants.
Hi ! I’ve made this scrub almost a month ago now, I really like it. Although it has more of a ‘burnt’ smell than a coffee smell, too much cinnamon maybe. I find that this is a recipe for a very large amount, I cut down on the quantities and still found myself with two jam jars of it ! But it keeps surprisingly well compared to the comments I’ve read. I kept one jar in the shower where the mixture got wet several times and it is still in perfect condition ! I find it great as I don’t need to moisturize after a shower as with other scrubs or even just a regular shower.
All in all, really good recipe , thank you !
★★★★★
about what size containers and how many would this recipe be useful for ?
Could you use grounds that have been used if you dry them first?
Thaonguyen,
coffee scrubs like this will last about a week. Ive been making one for over a year now and only once did I get lazy and about a week after I made it I opened the jar and it was molding.
Sadly, one of the downfalls to homemade goodness- but definately worth it to not be putting chemicals and preservatives into your bloodstream. I considered selling it at farmers markets but decided not to when I witnessed how quickly it can expire.
Did u use fresh grounds or used grounds? She’s mentioned not to use grounds that have been used/filtered with water as that causes molding. Just grounds straight from the package. The other warning was to try and avoid allowing any water to get into the scrub.
How long can i store this body scrub? 6 months or longer? Thank you Mama! It’s so great <3
I am planning to make this over the weekend, but I’m wondering two things — do you use this in the bath on your whole body? And if yes, how do you avoid clogging the drain with the oil and grinds? I have heard some nightmarish stories about people spitting their oil-pulling coconut oil down the drain and having a heck of a time unclogging it. What do you think?
I imagine that the unfortunate oil-pulling incidents are because people may be running cold water down the sink at the same time which would cause the coconut oil to solidify and yes, clog the drain eventually. I’ve never had an issue with coconut oil scrubs plugging my shower drain, but my showers are often quite long and quite hot so the oil would stay liquified and be flushed right out of the system. You would think though that for the oil-pullers, they would just have to run some hot water down the sink to liquify the coconut oil. But I guess if there were other gross things stuck in there, that might not work. YUCK!
Tiffany, I was wondering if I could reference your post in my own blog? (
http://AlaskanHomeGrownFoodie.com ) I’m doing a post about the benefits
of Coconut. I think it would be a great addition. I don’t have tons of
readers yet like you (I’m pretty new at this) but I think they’d
benefit. When you have time to get back to me. 🙂
I made this a couple weeks ago to try on myself… now I am making small jars-full for all my friends for holiday gifts. I love the exfoliating action of the grounds and the coconut leaves my skin so soft I don’t need lotion!
★★★★★
I used this post to pin on my Pinterest for the 5 piece cookware Cast Iron set giveaway.
would using a flavored coffee like vanilla ground coffee be safe to use ?
Y9ou should add a preservative if you add any water
How long will it keep?
Can I use the left over grounds from making cold brew coffee!
I have been doing exactly this for about 3 years now, and the good news is, the caffeine really does firm the thighs 🙂 Besides the fact that it smells absolutely divine. You need to rinse your body very thoroughly though, since the ground coffee will stick to your body like the devil, but since the coffee will be flushed out of the tub/shower with PLENTY of water (for above mentioned reason), I haven’t been able to see any adverse effects on the plumbing yet.

Thanks for the first hand experence with this on plumbing.
What is the effect of this on my plumbing and septic system???
