Frank Body Scrub

I purchased two scrubs, original and peppermint (as a frequent gym goer I like the muscle soothing properties that peppermint has and the product promises).

PROS: After using this my skin felt so smooth, with frequent use I did notice a wee improvement with cellulite (I got this bad too #mumilfe). It's just a lovely product to use when you're needing a lil pamper and pick-me up.

CONS: I felt a bit awkward using this the first time, with dry skin it pretty much just feel off my skin so I wet my hands and my skin just slightly and then it stuck on a lot better and I felt like I was able to do a proper scrub and reap the exfoliating benefits. There is, regardless, a lot of product that falls off and therefore I would use small amounts to save product and do this standing in your bath or shower otherwise this going EVERYWHERE.

CONCLUSION: It's a lovely product, it was worth the buy and it's a great price. I do this on and off (maybe once or twice a month) when I'm feeling like a sweet lil pamper but it's a bit too messy for me to do on the regular.

I don’t consider myself to have sensitive skin on my legs and body. I can generally give everything a good scrub with no issues.

But after massaging the Frank Body scrub into my legs for a few seconds I noticed the redness. I washed the product off but the redness remained. My skin stayed splotchy and itchy for the next 24 hours.

I didn’t use it again for about couple weeks, but thought let’s give it another go. Unfortunately the same thing happened.

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.

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.

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 was recently given this and I was so excited as I’ve had my eyes on it for the longest time. Of course the packaging is different now but still the same beautiful scrub inside. It’s a coffee scrub so if you’re not a fan of coffee definitely steer clear as it’s has a very strong coffee scent. It’s great used in the shower in the morning as it really wakes you up. I’m not a fan of the packaging but I just transfer it into a plastic container as the original packet isn’t 100% waterproof. My skin always feels beautiful after using this scrub and not dry like some others leave it. I will continue to purchase this product and recommend it to everyone I know.

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.

I love all frank products but the scrubs are definitely stand out products to me. They have a flavour for every preference and the quality of the product is beautiful. I love jumping in the shower and knowing exactly what ingredients are going on my skin and how much I'm going to benefit from them! It definitely doesn't work miracles for scars and stretch marks but it certainly helps if used weekly!
