Coffee body scrubs are all the rage lately and I've been testing out Grounded's Body Scrub* in the scent Chocolate Orange, mmm!
First of all the scent is divine! The combination of chocolate orange and coffee smells good enough to eat!
The packaging is super cute, it is waterproof so you can store it in the shower, just simply close it back up when you're not using it so it doesn't dry out.
The scrub contains Robusta coffee beans, himalayan rock salt and brown sugar to buff away dry skin, leaving your skin soft and nourished thanks to the vitamin E and cold pressed almond oil.
I use the scrub when I've popped some purple shampoo in my hair and I scrub away! It's an abrasive scrub that scrubs every inch of dead skin off, it'll be great for fake tanning too (but I'm pretty much Casper, so).
It does say to leave the scrub on for 10 minutes so it can do it's work but I
normally leave it on for a couple of minutes and still see amazing results.
One thing to be cautious of is the mess it can create, so I like to work in sections so I don't waste any product and get it everywhere.
As far as body scrubs go, this is by far the best one I have tried! I feel silky soft when stepping out the shower and it leaves you smelling amazing too.
At £15, it is at a higher price point for a scrub but a little definitely goes a long way!
Oh, hello there reader of Freshly Pressed Beauty - it has been a long time, hasn't it? With the combination of never being at home when it's light enough to take photographs, working full-time and a big lack of motivation the posts and social media activity have been slacking over at the FPB headquarters. Apart from Twitter, I'm partial to a rant to Northern Rail...
Anyway, we are not here to talk about trains are we?! We are here to talk about Cognito's Bath and Body Oil* in the their delicious Lemon Drizzle scent.
Cognito Skincare are a new brand to myself, originating from suffolk they specialise in fresh handmade skincare and bodycare. Their Bath & Body Oil's come in a variety of scents ranging from Victoria Sponge to Eton Mess in their aptly named range - Afternoon Tea.
Designed to be used all over the body as a moisturising oil or in your bath to soothe your skin while you soak this oil is simply amazing! Lemon Drizzle smells exactly like lemon curds, which happen to be my current obsession - super healthy, I know...
As a body oil it sinks in so fast and leaves you smelling delicious for a good while afterwards. For only £4.99 this oil is a bargain and you're supporting a small business too - win!
