Coffee scrub
Recipe Instructions
Replace water with strong coffee and mix with the lye. Keep away from kids and animals as this mixture will cause harm. Set aside to cool. Measure and mix your oils. Once both mixtures are between 90°-100° combine and bring to trace. Optional: mix in essential oils. Layer your mixture and coffee grounds for a scrubbing effect. Cure 4-6 weeks.
Note: When making this it will smell horrible at first but the scents even out in curing.
