Is a DIY coffee scrub worth it?

#letsbefrank, there are some things worth DIYing. Tie-dye hoodies? Absolutely. A coffee scrub? Leave it to the experts. Here are 5 reasons why.

1. Shelf life is a problem

When making any natural DIY beauty product, you shouldn't keep the mixture longer than a day. When you store natural ingredients without the right preservatives, bacteria can grow. And like your favourite cheesecake forgotten in the back of the fridge, things can turn nasty, fast.

2. Consistency gets results

It's important to scrub consistently, not just once. When you commit to scrubbing 2 to 3 times per week on an ongoing basis, more results start exposing themselves. After a few scrubs, babes say it helps reduce dry patches and soften skin. But with long-term scrubbing and massaging, it starts to take on deeper skin concerns like the appearance of stretch marks, breakouts, scars, and cellulite. Leave the mixing and packaging to me. Save that time for other activities, like actually scrubbing.

3. You get more bang for your buck

My Original Coffee Scrub delivers at least 8 uses per bag. When you break it down, each scrub works out cheaper than a one-off DIY batch. Plus double (scratch that, triple) the benefits your homemade version can give you. I'm not a mathematician. I'm more into chemistry. And between you and me, we've got buckets of it.

4. Built-in benefits you can't replicate at home

My scrubs don't just exfoliate. They moisturise too. Each one has a blend of coffee grinds to buff away dry skin, natural oils to restore moisture, and vitamins to protect. Plus each scrub has unique extra ingredients like aloe vera to soothe, organic cacao extract to nourish, and jojoba beads to polish skin without harming the planet.

5. Tried, tested, and loved by millions

My scrubs have been tried and tested for years by my army of frankfurts and babes across the world. They get results, and the proof is in the Instagram posts. Babes say things like: this is my favourite scrub ever, I am a new woman, I am on my third bag. I aim to please.

So save yourself the trip to your local café and get dirty with me instead. The body scrub to end all body scrubs, if I say so myself. Get it here.
