What Happens When You Combine Vaseline & Coffee:
This mixture creates a natural, effective exfoliating scrub that works wonders, especially for:
- Softening rough skin (heels, elbows, knees)
- Removing dead skin cells
- Stimulating blood circulation
- Reducing the appearance of cellulite
- Moisturizing deeply while exfoliating
How to Make & Use It:
