Coffee Vanilla Body Treatment

Hey Beauties!

As some of you know, I've been experimenting with coffee treatments for sagging skin. It all started here.

There were some problems with the oil I made, though. First of all, it SMELLED AWFUL!!! Second of all, it's CRAZY CAFFEINATED!

So I decided to create a more user-friendly version. Please be aware, though, that this version still has caffeine in it. Don't use this stuff right before bed, chicas!

 

 

 

My Recipe

1/3 cup Sweet Almond Oil (I used vanilla-infused oil)
1/3 cup Coconut Oil
1/3 cup Coffee-infused oil
1-2 ounces Cocoa Butter
Vanilla Beans

• Put all ingredients in a heat-safe vessel (I used a pyrex measuring cup).
• Heat slowly until the cocoa butter is completely melted.
• Pour the whole thing into a glass or PET container (if using PET, wait until the mixture cools somewhat).
• Keep in the fridge!

The result is a really nice, awesome-smelling body balm. It feels a bit grainy in the container, and melts immediately on contact with your hands. Rub this on your freshly-bathed bod. It's supposed to be good for cellulite and sagging skin.

Cocoa butter and chopped vanilla beans

Add the oils to the heat-safe vessel

Pour it into a jar and let it cool!
