COFFEE AND CREAM SOAP
Makes one bar.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Teaspoons coffee beans [can replace with 1 teaspoon instant espresso]
- 120g bar unscented glycerin soap
- 1 Teaspoon aloe vera gel
- 2 Teaspoons of milk powder ( Not creamer)
STEPS:

Coffee and cream soap combines the exfoliating and energizing properties of coffee with the deep moisturising benefits of cream, milk or butters like shea.
Key Benefits
Natural Exfoliation: Ground coffee beans gently buff away dead skin cells, dirt, and dry patches to reveal a brighter complexion
Boosts Circulation: Caffeine in the soap stimulates blood flow, which can temporarily firm the skin and reduce puffiness.
Deep Moisturization: The cream or milk component replenishes hydration, making it less stripping than standard harsh scrubs and ideal for dry or winter skin
Reduces Cellulite Appearance: Improved blood circulation from the coffee and massage temporarily smooths and tightens the look of cellulite-prone areas
Antioxidant Protection: Rich in antioxidants, it helps fight free radicals and environmental stress that accelerate skin aging
Soothes and Deodorizes: Coffee possesses natural antibacterial and odor-neutralizing properties, helping to clear pores and freshen skin after cooking or outdoor activities
