10 Best and Worst Body Firming Products
-
Harsh on your skin.
About this product and what it claims to do: “This invigorating, aromatic coffee scrub made with fresh Indonesian coffee beans awakens the senses as it exfoliates and cleanses. Because it contains gentle, sulfate-free cleansing agents so no other soap or shower gel is necessary. Used in Indonesian treatments to stimulate circulation in the skin, coffee has been clinically proven to provide power...read moreful antioxidant and tightening benefits when applied to the skin. Sulfate-free. Paraben-free.” In my opinion, it doesn't really meet any of its claims. PROS: It's sulfate-free and paraben-free. The scent is really strong. It smells pretty good... like coffee and dark chocolate. After awhile I realized that it smells a little bit like those calcium chews, which grossed me out and now I can't stop associating the two. Leaves your hands with a faint coffee scent, even after you wash and dry them. CONS: The texture is REALLY thick. It's pretty much solid. You have to add some water to get it to move around. This made me a little worried that it will clog my drain. It's also somewhat scratchy. I like things that thoroughly exfoliate my skin, and definitely like a good scrub, but this feels like the particles are sharp and jagged—a little bit like rubbing sandpaper onto your skin. I would NOT suggest using this on your face. I used it on my hands, and found the texture to be quite rough (although it did smooth my hands out very well). It dried out my hands a LOT, which I don't like. I'd consider it a very harsh cleanser because of that. They claim it “tightens” the skin, and I guess technically it does, but my hands feel so dry that it's uncomfortable, so I wouldn't consider that a benefit. Also, the price is ridiculous--$37 for 8 oz?! Even if it were a good, moisturizing and gently exfoliating scrub, I wouldn't repurchase this.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 6 people said helpful

Crazy Best Scrub!
This has coffee in it! Real coffee! It smells sooooo good! I love getting into the shower & opening up this can! I only use it about 3 times a week & I definitely notice that my skin is better for it. The coffee gives it an invigorating feel so its perfect for morning rituals. Its grainy - so you feel the scrub - but I don't think that it is too rough. I wish they made an accompanying Coffee Body Lotion... that would make my mornings even better.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful
