|
I have decided to use all the left over clementines.
They have been peeled and juiced.
I have made a granita.
I am making an oil from the powdered skins.
I am now planning to make a body scrub from the pulp.
Question is recipe calls for coffee powder.
We do not posess such a substance.
Would drying the grounds from a bean to cup machine be a better option? |

Should work. BW spends good money on facial stuff containing coffee grounds. |

I’m guessing they’re only for friction. |

I would hope for a finer ground coffee to use as a scrub, but yeah I've emptied the French press remains into a mug and taken it right in the shower for a similar effect. |

I would think coffee grounds would be better in some ways as they would give the scrub you need and being used, wouldn't give up so much colour. In a different facial scrub, I have used salt, and that works very well, but not sure how it would do in yours. |

Well it is made.
The coffee grounds were probably too fine to do anything but bulk it out and turn it a chocolate colour.
I added vert slightly ground sea salt and it works a treat. |

Sounds good. Does it stain your skin, or just colour the product. |

Fortunately it just colours the product. |

Good, a 'healthy' look is fine, but it can go too far. |
