Use that Cuppa For A Good Scrubba #CoffeeScrub

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I suppose I'm a bit of a caffeine addict.  Perks me up, makes me more focused, gives me a little energy.. and now, it works on my skin, too!

First Botany Arabica Coffee Scrub is made with deliciously scented coffee grounds from Arabica beans.  When I first opened the jar, the aroma of the beans just wafted around me.  Who needs a morning cup o' joe?  I'll have mine salty and grainy, and in my shower.  Thanks.

The scrub says to leave it on for 5 minutes to dry before rinsing it off.  I usually condition my hair and put the scrub on, and then leave both on for a few minutes while shaving, etc.  Be careful moving around the shower, though, because this scrub is oily, and that means a slippery floor.  It also means super-soft, moisturized skin, and no more flakes of debris and dead skin hanging around.  The coffee scent lingers for a bit, but I don't really notice it once I'm out of the shower and dried off.

Caffeine helps to shrink blood vessels, which can help with discoloration in the skin.  I didn't see any change in my spider veins or cellulite, but I wasn't really using it for that.  What I really love about this is the scrubbiness and the softness. Aside from the Dead Sea Salt and coffee grounds, this scrub is chock full o' nuts.... nutty oils, that is. So after I rinse off the scrub, my skin is smooth and soft.  

Coffee is always a good idea! The base of this coffee-inspired nailart is Deborah Lippmann From Rags To Riches, and the coffee bean designs are stamped with Finger Paints Black Expressionism and my UC 2-01 plate.

First Botany tries to go green and nature-friendly in their formulas, which are natural, paraben- and cruelty-free, and also by using recycled materials in their packaging.  If you love coffee and are looking for a scrub that uses the physical power of the coffee ground, plus the oomph of caffeine, you might like First Botany Arabica Coffee Scrub!  They have a 100% money-back guarantee if you're not completely satisfied, too.  For more information, or to purchase, you can find First Botany on their website, and on Amazon, where their Tea Tree Oil Scrub currently retails for $14.50.
