Skincare ProfessionalYou can do a one-to-one mixture. In a mixing bowl put used coffee grounds and a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. Mix it together then use it in the shower gently. Massage it in, rinse it off, and follow up with a body moisturizer. It's amazing for your legs, your stomach, and your arms because that's where we get lots of loose skin. - QuestionCan I put brown sugar in with the coffee grounds and honey and egg white?
