I found a truly awesome exfoliating/moisturizing scrub that I use now constantly. It's a coffee scrub that makes my legs feel awesome and makes them look better too! Here's the recipe:
3 tablespoons of coffee grounds
1 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of honey
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
Just stir together and voilà! I use this on my legs and behind. The coffee exfoliates and gets rid of dead skin and little bumps. The caffeine will also perk the skin up and reduce the appearance of cellulite, at least temporarily. The Cayenne does the same. The coconut oil leaves the skin super smooth.
Some recommendations when using:
You can use this on dry skin or slightly damp. I would recommend putting an inch or so of water in the bath tub and then stand in the tub, without the shower running, to rub the scrub into your skin. If you don't, you'll leave a lovely brown oil slick on the bottom of the tub. (Words of experience)
Per usual with exfoliating scrubs, rub the skin LIGHTLY in a circular motion.
Rinse well! Including the shower.
I don't use any body wash after using the scrub because soaps will just dry the skin out again.
Try it out and I'm sure you will like it!
