Guide Review - BodyCoffee Body Polish

The body polish is a pasty mix of herbal oils, sea salt and coffee grounds. Feels a little like chunky wet sand. The mix of rough salt and oils made it very pleasant to scrub with, though I thought the smell was a little 'herbal' for my liking. A little medicinal, really. Not like coffee at all.

After using this product, the water was pretty oily. It was nice to soak in, but nothing else would lather up after using the body polish. Definitely the last thing you should use in the tub.

Though the polish was nice on my skin, I was pretty disappointed in how my tub looked afterwards. There was a dark oily ring, and the bottom of the tub was speckled with coffee grounds. I was speckled in coffee grounds too, for that matter.

My skin was smoother and softer after this rough scrub, but the mess I had to deal with afterwards makes me think twice about using it again.
