Frank Body Coffee Scrub: First Impression

A coffee scrub has been on my list of beauty bits to purchase for over a year now and the brand that I had heard most about was Frank Body. They have a great presence on Instagram with a huge fan base and their brand image seems very playful, girly and quirky so I decided to check them out :-) First off I was very impressed with the selection of scrubs available not only just for your body but their range extends to products for your lips and face. Secondly was the easy access I had to the products to the UK considering they are an Australian based brand - the price of the products are extremely affordable (£12.95) and there is free shipping what more could you ask for!? I decided to opt the Cacao Coffee Scrub and once I clicked the purchase button it arrived within three short days. 

As soon as the cute little package arrived I tore off the top (which is re-sealable woo!) and was submerged into a heavenly smell of chocolatey coffee. Now, I don't know if you have ever smelt ground coffee but it is amazing and when that is mixed with a chocolate twist you are in heaven. It is just like a mocha smelling body product. 

As I was super eager to test it out I had an early shower that evening and after reading the instructions took a small scoop of product into the shower with me. Top tip: Do not take the package in it is made from brown paper and will go very soggy! I would say it was a little annoying having to carry it in my hands as some of the little granules fell out and I also had to stand in the shower without getting the product wet at first but it was worth it. 

The main area that I wanted to focus on was my back so I took a good amount from my hand and started massaging it into my back. It was a lot coarser than I had expected but it felt like it was really doing a good job at removing any dead skin I had. Then after I had completed that section I took the remaining coffee granules and scrubbed them all over my body. I would say that this definitely would not be a daily product for me as I have fairly sensitive skin but it would be nice to use two or maybe three times a week :-) 

Once I had finished I showered off the remaining granules and that was when I realised how messy the whole process was as the granules became stuck to the bottom of my shower and were not going down the drain. However, once I was out I was able to clean them up fairly easily with a wipe. 

As soon as I got out the shower I had to see how soft my skin was and my shoulder area/top of the back felt the smoothest that it had in a long time. As for the rest of my body I wouldn't say it felt crazy different but I did use one less scoop than the recommended amount so I will have to try that next time! I finished off by putting some Lush Vanilla Dee Lite all over my body and the next day my skin felt just as smooth!

Overall I would have to say that I absolutely adore this product because hey a little mess never hurt anyone ;-) 

I will continue using this product for the next couple of months and will let you know how I get on with it in and how well the product lasts me! Have you used a Frank Body Scrub before or any other coffee scrub? :-)

Hope you have a lovely Sunday!
