Wake-Up Soap Scrub

Nothing rouses you in the morning quite like the smell of coffee, so go ahead -- slather some on. A skin-softening body scrub made from coffee grounds and aromatic plant essences is a traditional treatment that's used in Thai and Balinese spas, and it's a luxurious way to start the day.

This recipe couples a rich, smoky coffee aroma with the sweet scent of pearberry-- known in aromatherapy for its mentally stimulating, energizing properties. Thanks to organic brazilian coffee and cocoa butter, which exfoliate and moisturize, your body gets a pick-me-up, too. It makes enough for two to three applications.
