Trash Panda Cleans Up Nice: DIY Coffee Scrub

My sister got me coffee scrub for Xmas a couple of years ago and I was super into it. It was it's own little crimmas miracle: I got real clean and perfectly moisturized at the same time, and after I used it I smelled AMAZING. And then I ran out. After I saw how much places were charging for it, I decided maybe I should try making it myself*.  As long as coffee, sugar and salt is in ready supply, this stuff is Trash Panda as fuck. Trash Panda's Super Easy DIY Coffee Scrub 4 parts fresh or dried used coffee grounds 1 part sugar and/or salt 1 part oil The ratios above are approximate. I start with a couple of cups of coffee grounds, throw in a couple spoonfuls of sugar and salt for extra scrubbies and as a preservative, and then add just enough oil to bind it all together but not be too oily. I keep a cup or so in a lidded jar in the shower for ease of use. If I make a bigger batch I keep the rest of it in a jar in the fridge. In the fridge or not, it lasts
