I make videos about beauty, fashion & lifestyle. I like to keep things affordable on my channel Lindsey Melville and as a recent college grad it's a must for me. By doing a ton of DIYs, featuring drugstore makeup, and styling affordable, trendy clothes, I am able to do this!

glass jar of brown sugar

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Coffee grounds- Coffee grounds make for a great natural exfoliant leaving your skin smooth and fresh. The caffeine in coffee is a known diuretic and can help to tighten the skin and help to reduce cellulite when applied topically.
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil- Olive oil is jam packed full of nutrients and antioxidants such as vitamins A and E which are both incredible for your skin! Vitamins A & E can help to repair skin damage from sun exposure and pollutants in the atmosphere.
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar- Brown sugar is a great gentle, natural exfoliant. Since many other exfoliants are rougher and can sometimes do more damage than good, balancing it out which brown sugar helps to gently remove dead skin cells.

Instructions
