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.
I got given this for my birthday last year (coconut scrub and the cocoa scrub) and I was very excited to try them!!!
If you are not a fan of the scent of coffee this product is a no-no for you, I liked the scent but then again I also love coffee! I didn't find the scent over powering at all and it faded quickly and didn't linger around on my skin.
Frank is an amazing exfoliator and perfect for getting rid of your old fake tan so you can start fresh. The product isn't too harsh on my skin and I have also used it on my face with gentle circular motions.
The only downfall is standing waiting the 5 -10mins recommended for the scrub to do its stuff before rinsing it off.
Once you rinse it off your skin feels amazingly soft! It definitely does a great job on exfoliating. I preferred the coconut one as I felt it hydrated my skin alot more afterwards as well, and I really enjoyed the scent.
One bag does quite a few uses so it is definitely worth trying!
Tips: Use it in the shower as it does tend to go everywhere and it makes it much easier to clean up afterwards
