Guide Review - BodyCoffee Body Balm
Not quite what I was expecting as a body moisturizer. It reminded me more of thick lip balm, or even a candle in a tin. It was quite greasy or waxy. It smelled nutty, or a little like cocoa butter. Not like coffee at all.
I used a generous amount on my poor dry feet and felt that I couldn't stand up again, or risk leaving oily footprints on my floor. But after several minutes, it did sink in and really did a wonderful job softening my skin. After several days of use, I can see a definite improvement in my skin.
This isn't a moisturizer you would use on your hands or face every day, but more as an intensive treatment for really dry areas like your elbows, knees or feet. BodyCoffee's Body Balm would work best as an overnight treatment, in our opinion.
