Coffee Body Scrub

Some people love chocolate, some people love their coffee. Why not invigorate the body, and bloodstream, with an infusion of caffeine. (Interesting fragrance).
What you need to make your own coffee body scrub (compliments of Spa Index).
2 cups of coarsely ground coffee, 1/2 cup raw sugar or sea salt and 2-3 tablespoons massage oil (almond oil, jojoba oil). Mix all ingredients together. Take a hot shower to moisten your skin and open your pores. Using wide, circular motions, rub the coffee exfoliant onto your skin with strong, even pressure. shower off, pat skin dry and apply a thin layer of your favorite body lotion. 
The grounds help exfoilate dead skin cells and is rumored to help minimize cellulite and varicose veins. coffee grounds are usually too coarse to use on the face, but okay for the rest of the body.
There are many variations for this scrub, depending on your aromatique preferences, such as vanilla or nuts.
