Aside from giving you a much-needed boost of energy (not to mention that it tastes and smells amazing), coffee also offers numerous beauty benefits. Not only does drinking a cup of joe pack a powerful punch of antioxidants, which are great for skin health by fighting premature aging, but actual coffee grounds make for a great body scrub that exfoliates dry skin without being too harsh.

Even if you’re not a regular at Starbucks, chances are you’ll love these fun caffeine-inspired finds—from body scrubs and candles to face masks, and more. The best part: many of them smell good enough to eat (although we’d recommend that you stick to the instructions on the package)!
