I have a deep affection for cappuccino and french vanilla is by far my favorite flavor. In fact, it’s really what inspired me to create this French Vanilla Coffee Sugar Scrub. Check out our entire collection of diy body scrub recipes.
Making your own sugar scrub is so simple, that as soon as you do it once, you will most likely keep making it because of how easy it is. Oh, and did I mention cheap? Seriously, it’s one of the least expensive DIY projects that I have ever done. Another bonus of making sugar scrub yourself is that you can add your favorite scents and colors, making something completely custom to you, or someone that you plan to gift it to.

Sugar scrubs are so great for exfoliating your skin, getting rid of those dead skin cells. Exfoliating with a sugar scrub can help create the appearance of smoother, glowing skin. I use a sugar scrub regularly on my skin and it really helps!
It’s a natural exfoliating scrub made with coffee grounds, sugar, and oils, infused with vanilla for a warm, sweet scent. It helps remove dead skin while leaving your skin soft and smooth.
Gently massage it onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse with warm water. Use 2–3 times a week for best results.
Coconut oil, almond oil, and olive oil all work great. Choose one based on your skin type— coconut oil is deeply moisturizing, while almond oil is lighter.
If you have sensitive skin, use finely ground coffee and brown sugar for a gentler exfoliation. Always do a patch test first.
French Vanilla Coffee Sugar Scrub

You’ll also need a few glass mason jars (I use the 4oz ones) and canning funnel, in addition to a glass bowl, measuring cups and a spoon. This recipe will fill (3) 4 ounce mason jars, and should be used within about 6 months.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup liquid coconut oil
- 20 drops vanilla essential oil
- 1 tbsp coffee grounds – you can even use coffee grounds that have already been brewed!
