From the blog Bev Cooks, the DIY body-exfoliating product is made with used coffee grounds and coconut oil. It is extremely easy to make and is also a more natural way to go about exfoliating. For some added grit and gravelly texture, you can also add sugar to the coffee scrub. If fragrance is an important part of your beauty or skin care routine, you will also love the way this smells. The project is eco-friendly and cheaper than splurging at the spa, so you really have no reason not to make this and pamper yourself. Pregnant ladies might want to stick to decaf grounds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Natural Skincare:** There is a growing trend towards using all-natural and sustainable ingredients for skincare products. - **Sustainability:** There is a rising interest in using recycled and eco-friendly materials for products in various industries. - **Create-at-home Beauty:** More people are opting to create their own beauty products instead of buying ready-made ones. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care:** The personal care industry can benefit from embracing natural ingredients that can be used to create at-home skincare products. - **Food and Beverage:** The food industry can consider repurposing post-consumer waste such as used coffee grounds for beauty and skincare products. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can tap into the rising interest in at-home self-pampering by offering guests DIY ingredients or kits for beauty products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beverage-Inspired Body Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-coco-coconut-oil-body-scrub.md) - [Coconut Oil Body Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-oil-body-scrub.md) - [Coconut-Based Exfoliating Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/propre-body-care.md) - [Exfoliating Dual-Purpose Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odele-scalp-body-scrub.md) - [Exfoliating Full-Body Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bikini-and-body-scrub.md) - [Candy Cane Body Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cane-body-scrub.md) - [Refillable Body Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffing-butter-body-scrub.md) - [Vegan Sugar Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-sugar-scrub.md) - [Raspberry-Inspired Sugar Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raspberry-fizz.md)
