Frank Body Scrub

I was introduced to this scrub through BR members discussing body scrubs. I have to say coffee body scrubs are my fave. If you have not tried it you are missing out on something that can gently polish your skin smooth, soft and silky. When I use a coffee scrub I get softer and smoother skin than if I used a sugar or salt scrub. The first time I used a coffee scrub I wasn't sure if it was going to do anything because the granules were finer than sugar granules and salt ones but I actually ended up with smoother, softer and silkier skin. Now Frank Body Scrub has been my to-go scrub of choice because it has 200g for about 20 bucks which is a decent price point for a coffee scrub. Plus I can buy it from Mecca and get points towards my Beauty Loop. Now Frank Body Scrub has come out with a few different options there's a cocoa one, a peppermint one and a coconut one as well as the original. My personal fave is the coconut one which has coconut oil but it's also recommended for those with nut allergies. Scent wise I don't really notice a difference between this and the original one. So now that we've discussed how amazing this scrub leaves your skin feeling lets discuss the cons, it leaves a mess in your shower and the coffee grains can leave brown stains. Nothing that can be rinsed away easily afterwards. I do find that I do miss a few grains but then again I'm short sighted and shower without my glasses so rinsing everything down is a bit tricky when I can't see. I think the pros outweigh the cons and I have used up three bags of this scrub and will keep repurchasing it.

Frank Body is the first ever coffee body scrub I have used, back when they first came out and weren’t even available in New Zealand. It’s awesome that it’s now available here. The original pack has had a makeover with a pink packaging, but the scrub remains the same. I bought the 200g pack and smells amazing, even for people who don’t often drink coffee (like me). It’s also natural and cruelty free and the texture is course from the sugar, salt and coffee granules.

I followed my usual shower routine and remained in the shower with the water turned off to scrub away. Keep in mind that this scrub is messy, and it will get everywhere, so it’s best to scrub in the shower or bathtub. I use about a handful or two to cover the whole body as well as the face. I use circular motions and pay extra attention to my stretchmarks. I leave it on for about 3 minutes before I rinse it off. My skin is left feeling soft and smooth, it really makes a huge different on dry skin, which disappears every time I use it. Over time, my stretch marks also look slightly lighter. I use it about 2 times a week, but on the packet, it recommends 2-3 times a week.

This is far my favourite coffee scrub or any other body scrub, and it’s very gentle on the skin. It’s also affordable, I bought my recent one from Mecca for $19. Frank Body now has many other flavours in the market, which I can’t wait to try.

This scrub i use every time i have a shower it makes my skin soft I love the after smell in the bathroom. I have sensitive skin so i can’t use a lot of products but this works Amazing on my skin. I recommend it.

This is the first coffee scrub I've ever tried and man I am impressed! It is really hearty with a very coarse texture and does an amazing job exfoliating the body. I didn't try it on my face as i think it might be a bit too coarse for that. It left my body feeling absolutely soft, smooth and refreshed. I literally couldn't stop touching my skin! It left my skin feeling super well moisturised and slightly oily which lasted throughout the day. I can't comment on how well it works for cellulite, veins ect as that's not what I was using it for but it is a very effective exfoliator and moisturiser. I think using this long term would leave the skin healtheir. Great for using pre shave or pre fake tan! Avoid if you don't like the scent of coffee, it's pretty strong.

I've tried so many scrubs over the years and many have left my skin red or itchy. This one came with rave reviews from Mecca Maxima but I was still sceptical.

The hardest parts of my body to exfoliate are my upper chest and under my butt crease so these were the areas I tried first.

Using a pair of exfoliating gloves I scooped a small amount out of the packet and massaged it onto my upper chest. Less was definitely more so I ended up with a bit too much that had to go down the drain. The packet was also slightly awkward to get into wearing gloves but I didn't want to get the product under my fingernails.

I rinsed off my chest and then did the same for under my butt, using a slightly more vigorous motion. Once I had rinsed the product off, I removed the gloves and felt the skin.

My upper chest was slightly pink but not overly so. It was smooth and soft to touch. The skin under my butt was also alot smoother and softer.

I have used the product several times now and have tried the same areas; plus knees, ankles and elbows. It definitely does the job without irritating my skin.

I absolutely love this stuff!

The smell is definitely very strong, but I love coffee so I don't mind it at all. However if you are not a fan of coffee then this might not be the scrub for you.

I tend to wet myself in the shower then turn the water off. The scrub comes out of the packet quite dry and crumbly. I then apply everywhere i feel i need to (works on face, body, legs!) It has a really nice texture and feels like it is exfoliating as you massage it in, without being super harsh and feeling like you are going to tear your skin off. I then leave it to soak for a couple of minutes.

It usually ends up ALL over the shower and can be pretty messy but a quick rinse down with the shower head and its good as new.

Once the scrub is rinsed away my skin is left feeling super smooth, polished and amazingly hydrated. It is super nourishing

I have used this many times now and love keeping a pack in my bathroom to treat myself to a weekly (if I have the time!) exfoliating session.

Frank body scrub is by far the best body scrub you could possibly have in the bathroom. The packaging is easy to access, the texture is exactly what you need for pre tan exfoliation. I love the smell which isnt very strong after you use it , so no strong coffee smell once rinsed This product leaves your skin silky soft! It's a product that's a fun mess that you benefit from !

This body scrub is devine. It leaves your skin polished, smooth and feeling so soft. If you're a coffee addict then this is a real treat for the senses.

The scent of a heavenly espresso fills the shower when applying. It is a 'messy' scrub to apply as it's a crumbly, so I tend to turn the shower off, apply the scrub, and then do a good rinse after I've massaged the scrub in. It's truly lovely, and makes for a real luxury in the shower. I self tan, and my tan is more even and natural looking thanks to this scrub. I don't tend to store this scrub in the shower as the packaging doesn't hold up long term to steam and moisture, so take care where you leave it.

Follow with a favourite body butter after your shower and your skin will glow and feel amazing. A must have for the self-tanning ladies as it will leave your skin and tan looking fab.

I absolutely love this scrub. It smells divine and makes you feel refreshed! It really does scrub away the day. I use it on my entire body. Yes even the face! My skin feels so smooth and full of life afterwards.
