We love this emulsified coffee scrub! The warm smell of coffee and pumpkin envelops you. The many benefits of coffee and pumpkin are an added bonus! Coffee, when used as a scrub, is said to be anti-inflammatory, skin brightening, and tightening while softening and hydrating the skin. Pumpkin oil contains vitamin E, zinc, Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, and antioxidants. This helps to retain moisture, regenerate skin cells, and maintain glowing skin. Everything you could possibly desire from a scrub!
