Remove the honey mixture from the water and add the green tea bags. Set aside to steep for 10 minutes.
3
In a small bowl, mix the HERSHEY'S Cocoa and yogurt with a fork until combined.
4
Remove the tea bags from the honey water mixture. Squeeze the bags to get all the liquid before discarding.
5
Add the green tea mixture to the cocoa and yogurt, stirring to combine.
6
Apply the mixture to face, carefully avoiding the eye area. Leave on until dry, then wash off with warm water.
7
For the mocha sugar scrub: Mix the sugar, cocoa and coffee grounds in a bowl.
Tip
This recipe makes just under 3 cups of body scrub. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Drizzle 3/4 cup oil over the cocoa mixture, stirring well to distribute evenly. When pressed, mixture should form small clumps; if needed, add an additional 1/4 cup oil.

Spoon the body scrub into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. To package for gift-giving, divide the scrub between 5 small (4-ounce) jars.
