First Botany: Arabica Coffee Scrub

I really like products that help exfoliate the skin, knock all the dead stuff off and leave your body looking bright, smooth, and youthful. This product does a few of those things, but this is not my favorite. Although I like the smell of coffee, I don't think I really like ACTUALLY scrubbing my body with coffee grounds. Let's not start off with the bad, so I will talk about what I really liked about it. 

1. I like the fact that everything in the product is completely natural. There are no artificial scents. No chemicals that help with exfoliation and there are lots of different oils. Basically, this product is sand, salts, oils and coffee. 
2. Note to self and all of you, if you use this product, wash your body first. Once you scrub with this, the oils basically deem your soap useless and you become waterproof. Water rolls off like a ducks back and you just have to wait until the next day to actually bathe. So, wash first. 
3. Next, don't scrub hard, AT ALL. Since this is full of sand and salts and all things that are made to take your skin off, there is very little effort needed to get the job done. 
4. Lastly, the ending result is really nice and soft skin. When you get out of the shower, you are soft from all the oils and have a clean exfoliated sensation. So that's nice. 

Okay, okay, so here is what I didn't like about it. Granted the list is shorter than what I did like, I'm just not that into this product. 

1. As I stated before, I don't like feeling like I'm scrubbing with coffee grounds. Yes, coffee has the caffeine that tightens your skin, but can we get something that doesn't smell like you just popped a can of Folgers open? It is a very strong and at times over powering coffee smell, which unless you are an all-things coffee fanatic, I don't prefer to smell like I just rolled around coffee when I leave the house. 
2. Next, it seems really harsh on the skin. That is why I said, DO NOT SCRUB HARD. I felt sunburned when I got out of the shower because I made that mistake.
3. Lastly, I like the oils in it, they make my skin feel really nice, but when you are putting it on, you feel like you are greasing up for a oil wresting match. Also, I don't have the patients to let it dry for 5 minutes in the shower.

Overall, it just wasn't a hit for me, but then again, it may be a hit for you! If you are looking for a product that makes you feel nice and smooth from all the natural oils and exfoliating properties that this product contains, you may just love it too!
