I’ve shared several body scrub recipes before, but I’ve been cautious about sharing face scrub recipes. The reason being is that many scrubs are too abrasive for the face. Sugar, brown sugar and salt are often used in scrubs. Sea salt is especially rough on the skin and should only be used on the most rigid skin (your feet and hands).
When it comes to your face, you need only use the gentlest exfoliant. My two favorite face scrubs are made with fine ground coffee and ground oats. Both of these are very gentle on the skin yet leave the skin bright and smooth.
My coffee face scrub uses only finely ground coffee and a carrier oil (I use coconut oil or hemp seed oil). This two-ingredient face scrub comes together quickly and is appropriate for all skin types.

Just two ingredients for this very simple recipe:
Because there are just two ingredients, you want to make sure they’re of the highest possible quality to ensure good results. I’ve linked to my favorite coconut oil brand above – you can read more about my methodology for finding the best possible coconut oil. Of course, you can also easily make your own coconut oil at home.
For this facial scrub recipe, you’ll need a tbs of very fine ground coffee and one tbs of your favorite facial oil.
Instructions:
Step 1: Pour 1/4 cup of organic coffee beans into a coffee grinder and grind on high for 30-60 seconds. Open the coffee grinder and mix the coffee grinds around. Then, grind again until the coffee grinds to a fine powder. This step is essential because if the ground coffee isn’t finely ground, it may be too abrasive on your skin and cause irritation.

Step 2: Measure one tablespoon of finely ground coffee from the grinder and scoop it into a small bowl.
Step 3: Choose your carrier oil. If you have acne-prone skin, it’s best to choose a non-comedogenic oil to use on your face. High comedogenic oils clog pores and are not suitable for acne prone skin. My favorite non-comedogenic facial oils are hemp seed oil, neem oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil and rosehip oil. Though coconut oil is a higher comedogenic oil, it’s safe for many skin types and works tremendously well in this recipe (it’s what I use daily on my face).
Step 4: Create your coffee face scrub! Now it’s time to mix your scrub and apply it to your face. First, you mix the coffee grounds with the carrier oil. If you’re adding essential oils to your face scrub, now is the time to add them. I suggest adding only one or two drops.
