It's not often you'll find me reviewing a 'beauty' product on my blog, but there were so many reasons I wanted to try this body scrub by Naturelle Cosmetics. Mainly the fact that it's made of coffee. I love coffee.
Being into health and wellness, I know the importance of only putting natural products both into your body and onto your skin. What I love about Naturelle Cosmetics is that all their products are 100% natural and organic - they don't contain any harsh chemicals, parabens, carcinogens, preservatives, GMOs or artificial colourants or fragrances, making them superior to most mainstream beauty products. They're cruelty free too, so it's a win/win.
The royal coffee scrub comes in six different 'flavours' (but unfortunately you can't eat them, no matter how much you'll want to): chocolate orange, cinnamon vanilla, coconut, lavender mint, ylang ylang and the one I was sent: tea tree.
Opening the bag and looking inside, I was hit by the unmistakable aroma of tea tree oil and the fact that I was about to rub coffee grounds all over myself. It was a weird feeling but I couldn't wait to get started and see what it was like.
I have to admit that it was a very messy experience, so don't get out of the shower to apply it like I did - or you'll end up with coffee scrub all over your bathroom. Like I did.
When I'd applied the scrub all over, I looked like I was covered in mud (which I often am, to be fair). It was a great exfoliator and washed off easily enough, leaving me feeling refreshed and invigorated - probably due to the properties in the coffee and tea tree - and my whole body felt soft and smooth, which I guess was from a combination of the jojoba oil, avocado oil and almond seed; other ingredients found in the scrub. There was definitely no need to apply a moisturiser afterwards. The smell didn't linger on my skin for too long, although I wouldn't have minded if it had.
I'd recommend using this in the morning if you have time; it will really help to wake your body up. It would also be perfect for your post-workout shower - you'll already be on an endorphin high and this will make you feel even better.
At £9.95 for a 200g bag, Naturelle Cosmetics Royal Coffee Scrub is reasonably priced for an organic, natural, healthy product and offers the kind of coffee experience that you'd never get from Starbucks.
