Consumers can often make their own sugar body scrubs right in their own homes from ingredients that they already have. Adding coffee to the body scrub can benefit the appearance of skin as the coffee is said to redistribute fat cells and interfere with the production of cellulite. Here is a delightful recipe for a Mocha Coffee Sugar Body Scrub.
