Now that you have your face glowing with this DIY face mask, next up is an easy DIY body scrub that'll have you ready to show some skin this Spring. "I'm a huge fan of coffee grounds, and not just for your morning cup, but for your body as well," explains Jessica Kernochan, founder of eco beauty brand LaLicious. "The caffeine can help diminish the appearance of cellulite, and the coconut oil will hydrate and smooth your skin to perfection."

Ingredients:
1 cup coffee grounds
1/2 cup white or brown sugar
1 cup coconut oil

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. After you've washed your hair and body, massage the scrub on wet skin and rinse with warm water. Your skin will be soft, hydrated, and ready to be bared in your favorite warm-weather ensembles.

What We're Sweet On: A Body Scrub That's More Like a Body Cream

Looking at the contents of Trish McEvoy Body Polish ($55), you might mistake it for a body cream.


Looking at the contents of Trish McEvoy Body Polish ($55), you might mistake it for a body cream. Like a lot of scrubs, this product has both sugar and salt granules for gentle exfoliation, but unlike many other of its ilk, this body polish isn't dripping with oil. Instead, it has a thick, creamy consistency that glides on like a body butter. Not only is this polish resistant to drying out and dissolving, but it has an amazingly spicy-sweet scent (McEvoy's No. 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk) that will make you want to shower just a bit longer. Once washed away, you'll be left with smooth — not greasy — skin. Body cream optional.
