Your Very, Very Personal Trainer

Let’s just start off by saying that I love exercising. My schedule is always packed with sports. Every time I get back home from one of these tiring days, I always feel like taking a long, warm shower, then jumping right into my cozy bed, soundly drifting off to sleep. Let’s talk about the showering part. To me, it’s like a ritual of washing the long, sometimes stressful, day off with a series of soaps and other things like that. Amongst the “other things like that,” I find particular joy when using a body scrub. I love the feeling of buffing away all the dirty, dead stuff lying on the surface of my skin. Speaking of body scrubs, my favourite one is Frank Body’s Peppermint Body Scrub.

Frank Body is a super fun skincare company based in Australia. Unlike any other brands, they are completely natural, vegan, and cruelty-free. All their products also revolve around one star ingredient: coffee — Yes, coffee. So, to all the coffee lovers out there, you’re in for a treat! Frank says that coffee stimulates blood flow and promotes collagen production: this leaves your skin not only looking perky and even, but feeling softer than ever!

Now, into the review: I have been using Frank Body’s Peppermint Coffee Scrub for several months now, and I can confidently say that it’s my favourite scrub. Why? It is so effective, yet doesn’t hurt my skin the way other scrubs have. It also has some peppermint in it, which instantly uplifts my mood, and adds a minty fresh sensation, making it the perfect post-workout scrub! Taking a handful of the crumbly goodness from the light blue, waterproof, Instagram friendly packet, I scrub the product in circular motions all over my body (except my face). It does get a little messy in the shower, but that’s part of the whole experience! I like to leave it on for 2-3 minutes to let all the wonderful oils sink in. This is the part when I start to feel the minty fresh tingling from the peppermint! After singing a couple songs into my shower head, I rinse the scrub off. And what am I left with? Fresh, smooth, glowy, and hydrated skin! Just, awesome!

Seriously, you should pop one in your shower ASAP! You’ll Thank me for it ;)
