When I used it, it was messy. The consistency is not good and it just falls apart. Do not use it straight after cleaning the bath like I did or you will be very cranky. After using it my skin did feel softer and I think because of the lavender oil it also felt really moisturized. Unfortunately I smelt like a cappuchino. If you like coffee and making a mess and you want your skin to be softer and slightly moisturized, I would give it a go if your bored on a weekend. Has anyone made a good body scrub that they are happy with? If so what did you use? I need all the help I can get.

I hate coffee too! I bought what I thought was a caramel milkshake. And it turned out to be an iced coffee. I was stuck on the Tube train with it-so nasty!!!
You can use Sugar instead of coffee as the abrasive element? My mum made one so I'll ask what she used!x
Oh no! Sorry to hear it didn't turn out as planned but good to hear it did feel moisturising. Sometimes a little bit of mess is fun but I'm not the biggest coffee lover unfortunately. I've seen a lot of DIY scrubs on Pinterest (of course) using things like epsom salts and sugar, like Kezzie mentioned, as well as lavender, and eucalyptus oil / coconut oil. I'd have a look on there and see if there's a nice sounding combination that might work. Sometimes the DIY scrubs are hit and miss! - Tasha
Oh dear, the second photo does look rather unfortunate! I'm always given so many scrubs as gifts that I don't have the need to make my own. I've tried a few DIY face, and hair masks but chickened out at the last minute at the one with raw egg in it, I couldn't bring myself to put it on my hair!
