Wonderful wellness: Homemade peeling for the Advent season!

The creative self-production of care products is experiencing a boom, especially in the run-up to Christmas. Customers appreciate personal gifts made with love and care. A simple but effective project is a coffee grounds scrub that is not only eco-friendly but can be made quickly with just a few ingredients. In just five minutes you can make a high-quality peeling with 50 grams of well-dried coffee grounds, 100 grams of whole cane sugar and 50 grams of unrefined coconut oil. Add a few drops of essential oil, for example orange or lavender, to refine the scent, as the Volksblatt reports.

Using the coffee peeling

After preparation, the finished peeling can be stored in a screw-top jar. Before use, the peeling should be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours so that the coconut oil softens and is easier to apply. Special tips for use can be found in Practical Tips: You can simply apply the peeling in the shower by massaging it onto damp skin in circular movements. The application can be repeated two to three times a week as needed to revitalize the skin and visibly improve its texture.

In addition, it is possible to optimize the peeling even further by adding honey or olive oil, which have soothing and nourishing properties. If you haven't processed coffee beans yet, you can also make the mixture from boiling water and coffee grounds. A little creativity and the right technique mean that you can create an excellent homemade product that is ideal for yourself or as a gift. Many people also use the peeling as a facial mask by applying the mixture to the face and leaving it on for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water, as explained in practical tips.
