Today I want to share about my latest discovery which I love and recommend – Frank Body, Australian brand, and their Cocoa Coffee body scrub in particular.
In our time and age, when we mostly buy experience, this is crucial, and people behind Frank Body clearly understand that.
There are a few scrubs to choose from over at Cult Beauty (100g – £7.95; 200g – £13.95) Original, Coconut, Peppermint and Shimmer which all come in different colour packaging and with different fun blurbs. The one I have comes in a pretty lilac waterproof bag and has a chocolate cake reference. I’ve just transferred some scrub to a pretty pot I’ve had.
What about the scrub itself?
I am completely obsessed! Not only it smells absolutely insane-out-of-this-world, think freshly brewed morning coffee paired with a lush chocolate cake, it also is very effective.
How do I use it? Just apply to the wet skin, massage it and leave for about 2 minutes. Voila!
I honestly can’t think of a better way to start a day [a few times a week], not only it awakens your senses but also leaves your skin very soft and smooth. Exfoliated and nourished [skin], silky like a baby’s bum. I also find that it is moisturised enough because of the oils, and doesn’t need any cream on top. Yes, please!
I’ve tried a few coffee body scrubs, and love this one the most. Yes, you could make one yourself but I do not drink coffee, unless in a coffee shop, so don’t have a coffee machine which would make it impossible. And what’s the point of buying coffee for the scrub when I could just buy this? Plus, I am not a fan of DIYing when I can already get a “ready-to-be-used” product. That is not laziness, I just don’t want to be sourcing all the right oils and figuring out proportions when people already did it all for me. And brilliantly, may I add. You can see the list of the ingredients above. However, if you do want to experiment, a quick Google search shows that there are so many uses for grounds, for example it can be used as a hand-scrub or for beer brewing
On top of it all, Frank Body is vegan and cruelty free.
By the way, long time readers know that I am a huge fan of body Shimmer Oils and they do have an option, as well – Magic Shimmer Oil (£16.95 for 80ml) which is a good price for such kind of product.
