Why Vaseline and Coffee Work Well Together
Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
Locks in moisture and helps prevent dryness
Creates a protective barrier on the skin
Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
Coffee (finely ground or used grounds)
Acts as a natural exfoliant
Helps remove dead skin cells
Can make skin look brighter and more refreshed
When combined, coffee exfoliates while Vaseline seals in moisture—making this mix especially popular for rough or dry areas.
Popular Ways People Use This Mix
1. Lip Scrub
Dry, flaky lips? This mix gently buffs away dead skin and leaves lips feeling soft and hydrated.
2. Body Scrub (Hands, Feet, Elbows, Knees)
Great for areas that tend to get rough. Coffee exfoliates, and Vaseline keeps skin moisturized for longer.
3. Pre-Shower Skin Smoother
Some people massage it onto dry skin before showering, then rinse off for smoother-feeling skin.
How to Make It
You only need two ingredients:
1 teaspoon Vaseline
½–1 teaspoon finely ground coffee
Steps:
Mix both ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
Gently massage onto clean, damp skin using circular motions.
Leave on for 1–2 minutes.
Rinse with warm water or wipe off with a soft cloth.
