Frank Body Scrub

Frank has created a lot of buzz on social media and having dry skin, I knew I needed to give it a go. I love the scrub, it really does make your skin feel great !!! A reasonably fine texture too - not all lumpy . It does smell VERY. Strong of coffee though so not for use at night time ( I used it at the end of the day before bed and the smell annoyed me ) but I can imagine this would be superb for an early morning shower! It smells like coffee and orange . So obviously, if you don't like hate smell of coffee this will be a problem ( duh!) but it is great !!!

I resisted buying this for so long as I though it was just another craze. My sister had wanted one for a while and her birthday was coming up so I thought I'd get her one and order one for myself as well. I am so glad that I did. I paid AUD14.95 each and if you buy two the shipping is free. I like the packaging. It is a simple, resealable, brown paper bag with a quirky description.The packaging is water proof so I doesn't fall apart if it gets wet.

As soon as you open the bag you can smell the gorgeous aroma of coffee with a subtle orange scent.

Your body needs to be wet before you apply the scrub otherwise it wont stick. I use one handful to coat my entire body. Here comes the downside. You have to let it dry for 5-10 minutes. I turn the water off in the shower and stand in their but I get really cold while waiting and usually can't wait the full 10 minutes before rinsing it off with some nice warm water.

In saying that, I do still feel like I get good results. My skin feels so silky smooth after using and it is great to use before tanning as it gets rid of any dry skin. It has worked great to help clear my acne which has not completely gone but it has cleared up a lot. I also have excema on my foot which does benefit from this scrub but it has not cleared it away...yet (I'm still hopeful) Overall I am glad that I jumped on the bandwagon although you won't catch me posting naked Frank selfies on instagram.

I got given this for christmas but have wanted it for agggges but couldn't justify spending $15 on something which I thought I could easily make at home. I was so wrong this is way better than anything from my pantry.

The scrub smells divine! I had the original and it made my whole bathroom smell of coffee as well as my skin for ages after I used it. I found it best to use on dry skin as wet skin makes it dissolve and its less likely to stick. Just grab a handful and rub it all over.

The waiting is the hardest part. Definitely recommend doing this on a hot day as you will need to stand butt naked for 10 minutes. And standing is necessary!! I decided to sit the first time and little granules of sugar and coffee left little dimple marks all over my butt - and it kinda hurt. I recommended taking your laptop into the bathroom and putting on a youtube video that goes for roughly ten minutes. Helps you time it and keeps you entertained :)

Then simply rinse of in the shower and voila you will now have the softest skin in the world! The fancy almond oils and orange essence are what raise this above the simple sugar/coffee scrubs I make at home and I reckon the other versions of frank would be amazing too.

Your skin is left super exfoliated but really nourished as well. As for the claims about stretch marks and cellulite, I am yet to see any results on that front but the way it makes my skin feel is glorious.

The only downfalls are the packaging and the fallout! The packaging is ridiculous, its so hard to get into and gets so wet in the shower. I think a tub would be way easier to use but thats just me. The fallout is the worst though it infuriates me seeing half the product go to waste as its more of a loose scrub than a wet one.

I think in the future I would repurchase but I really wish they'd work on making it less wasteful.

This is a great scrub and it has really helped with my dry skin and I think it seems to be helping with stretch marks. I find it a little bit too harsh to use on my eczema like they suggest, but good on the rest of my skin. I find the packaging a little bit annoying, as I think I would prefer a jar, as the bag doesn't seal very well when the coffee grinds get in the zip. I find it can be a bit annoying to use sometimes as it does make a mess in the shower. Overall I really like this scrub and have repurchased a few times already.

Frank coffee scrub is a very enjoyable experience. Love to use it to avoid any and all pesky ingrown hairs or layers of dead skin. The coffee itself is in small enough granules that they aren't really rough but do a good job of exfoliating. The scrub is quite dry compared to others I've used so it can get messy to use with bits falling off almost instantly. Also not so impressed with the lack of moisturizing that happens..but all in all a good scrub

I was lucky enough to win this in a competition from instagram . I had this scrub on my wishlist for a long time. I was super excited to try it as I heard a lot of great things about it .

Packaging comes in a rectangle zip lock bag that’s made of plastic. The consistency of this coffee scrub is like sugar granules and coffee grounds mixed together. Scent smells like vanilla and coffee mixed together.

Application is easy crumbly . Seems to fall everywhere. My skin feels exfoliated well afterwards. Soft and smooth.

Price wise it’s at a fair price point. Can only be purchased from Mecca maxima. My bag lasted a few months. It solidified on the last month not sure why. I can’t see myself purchasing this. I prefer lush scrub bars instead . Less mess.

Frank Body scrub is a great all over exfoliant and leaves your skin feeling lush and smooth. I can't speak to the claims of it reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, as I feel you'd have to use it for quite a while to get any results. I'm not a huge fan of coffee smell personally, and it is a messy job, but the result is lovely, silky skin. It also feels like it leaves a kind of moisturizing/oil residue after washing it off - which some may not like, but I think it's nice. It also means I don't have to moisturize after haha. It's also a bit awkward hopping in the shower, wetting your body, hopping out and using the scrub, waiting 10 minutes (without touching anything!) then hopping back in the shower to wash it off.

I found this scrub quite interesting, as it was my first time using a dryish scrub. Once you open the zip lock packet, your nose is greeted with the scent of fine espresso grounds. And yes, it looked exactly like it too.

The first time i used it, i really found it difficult to apply it onto my skin without losing any of the crumbly, fine grounds onto the shower floor, which i tried to make good use of from exfoliating my feet before washing it down the drain. I found it a little messy as it was on the shower walls as well. I literally was scooping out and exfoliating espresso grounds onto my body, which felt very natural on my skin. But as i was massaging it around my skin, the scent reminds me of a nice cup of just made black filtered coffee.

Anyways, after rinsing off the fine grounds, my body felt like it was coated with a layer of nutritious oil. It wasn’t the feeling i expected.. as it was the first time i used any oil containing scrubs. After drying off, my skin didn’t feel dry or dehydrated, but nourished.

And yes, be prepared to clean your shower well afterwards. And also need to leave it in a water-free spot in the shower, to prevent water getting inside the zip lock packet.

The outer layer of the package can rip over time, and the granules can make the zip hard to close, so best to keep it as dry and tidy as possible. It’s difficult trying not to get the packet wet, and therefore ruining the packaging, but the best thing about this scrub is that it will last you a while.

Looking forward to trying other scents of Frank scrubs.

Love this body scrub to mars and back!! So amazing and makes my skin feel super smooth after every wash! Only disappointing thing is that it makes such a mess! But overall such a great product! Buy for the product not the packaging!
