Wake up and smell the coffee — in your morning shower! Your skin will also perk up to the exfoliating action of the ground coffee particles, followed by the soothing action of powdered milk and the lingering scent of vanilla.

3 cups glycerin soap base
6 tablespoons freshly ground coffee
3 tablespoons powdered milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

In the top of a double boiler, heat the soap base or glycerin soap scraps until liquefied. Stir in ground coffee, powdered milk and vanilla. Remove from heat and pour soap into molds and let cool until hardened.
