I used my Vitamix to grind the coffee and cacao nibs; you could also use a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or other high-powered blender. It’s important to blend to what looks like a flour; otherwise you might scratch your sensitive facial skin.

Empty ground coffee and cacao into a bowl, and add sugar, vanilla, and sweet almond oil. Mix thoroughly, until it reaches a consistency like damp sand.

Wash face as usual. Then use a couple teaspoons of scrub at a time, testing a small area of your face or neck before applying all over. Apply gentle pressure as you gauge how much exfoliation you’d like. Rinse off, and moisturize as you like.
