Dead Skin Cells & Coffee
We’ve covered the face and the pout, but the Caavakushi team has noticed a major rough patch in most beauty routines. Literally! Your body sheds roughly 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every single minute. If you aren’t exfoliating, those cells just sit there, making your skin look dull and blocking your expensive plant-based lotions from actually working. So should you be using a vegan body scrub recipe to resolve to help your skin?
The Caavakushi team feels that many luxury scrubs are a total scam. They often use microplastics (terrible for our oceans!) or honey-based binders. We’ve found that the best exfoliant is likely sitting in your kitchen right now. Why pay for a 100% markup when you can use your morning caffeine kick to get glowing?
The Buff & Brighten Science
Why coffee? The Caavakushi team did the research and we found that Caffeine is a vasodilator. This means it temporarily shrinks fat cells and tightens the skin. Clinical studies suggest that topical caffeine can improve the appearance of cellulite by up to 17% by stimulating lipolysis (Our source: PMC4344823).
Furthermore, using a physical exfoliant like sugar has been shown to increase topical absorption of moisturisers by 60% (Our source: Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology). When you follow this up our Caavakushi vegan milk cleanser routine with a full-body scrub, you’re basically giving your skin a fresh start.
The Caavakushi Vegan Body Scrub Recipe
This scrub is invigorating, smells like a high-end cafe, and leaves your skin feeling like pure silk.
What You’ll Need:
– 1/2 a cup of Organic Coffee Grounds: (The Caavakushi team thinks recycled grounds from your morning brew would work perfectly!)
– 1/2 a cup of Brown Sugar: (For that totally natural, gentle abrasion.)
– 1/4 of a cup of Melted Coconut Oil: (The ultimate vegan moisturiser to prevent irritation.)
– 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract: (To make you smell like a literal snack.)
How To Make It:
– In a medium bowl, mix your coffee grounds and brown sugar.
– Slowly pour in the melted coconut oil while stirring. You want a wet sand consistency.
– Then add the vanilla extract and give it one last mix.
Caavakushi Tip: Use this in the shower after you’ve used your Caavakushi vegan milk cleanser on your face. The steam opens your pores, making the exfoliation 2X more effective.
The Stats On Sustainable Beauty
The Caavakushi team thinks it’s vital to mention the environmental impact. By making this scrub, you are avoiding all synthetic fragrances and preservatives found in mass-market tubs. Statistics show that 73% of vegan consumers now prioritize zero-waste packaging, and nothing is more zero-waste than a reusable glass mason jar from your own pantry.
The Full Body Glow Up
The Caavakushi team thinks you’ll be obsessed with how soft your skin feels after just one use. Rub in circular motions toward your heart to jumpstart your lymphatic drainage. Just be careful in the shower that coconut oil can make the floor extremely slippery!
Once you’re out and patted dry, your skin will already be moisturised from the oils in this vegan body scrub recipe. It’s the ultimate lazy-vegan hack for glowing skin.
