Sugar scrubs vs coffee scrubs.

Sugar scrubs vs coffee scrubs.

Exfoliation is the name of my game. I want babes to exit their showers feeling like silky baby dolphins. Both my coffee scrubs and sugar-based scrubs will get you there. So what's the difference between the two?

Why scrub with coffee?

My coffee scrubs are grittier and use coffee grinds and coffee seed powder to buff away dead, dry skin. Call it tough love. Coffee is also packed with antioxidants to nourish your skin. Plus they'll leave your shower smelling like a large cappuccino.

Why scrub with sugar or other granules?

My finer-grain scrubs are slightly gentler with smaller granules. They melt on your skin and leave you hydrated and glowing — good for more sensitive skin, or for areas that don't need the full coffee scrub treatment.

Meet the coffee scrubs

Original Coffee Scrub: The first on the scene. Smells like coffee, looks like coffee, made with coffee. It's the closest you'll get to coffee besides an actual espresso.

Coconut Coffee Scrub: A vacation in a bag. Smells like coffee and coconut. It's also nut-free, so it's a keeper for sensitive skin.

Cacao Coffee Scrub: Rich, nourishing, and crumbly, like cake. Smells like coffee and chocolate. Resist all temptations to eat me, babe.

Express-O Whipped Body Scrub: My whipped scrub — coffee with a little cream. Use it on dry or wet skin. Less mess, scrub express.

Meet the other scrubs

Rosehip Body Scrub & Cleanser: Sugar exfoliation meets rosehip oil, jojoba, and shea butter. It melts into a cleanser on rinsing for a 2-in-1 shower step, and is particularly good for dry skin and fading the appearance of marks and scars.

Niacinamide Body Scrub: Fine pumice and niacinamide together in one scrub — for babes focused on evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots.

Original Lip Scrub: That's right, I've got a sugar scrub for your lips too. Raw sugar buffs away flaky bits and cold-pressed macadamia oil hydrates for soft, smooth lips.

And one for the bath

In Your Dreams Sleep Scrub & Soak: Made with Epsom salt and magnesium, it's a gentle scrub and a calming bath soak in one. For when life feels a little stressful.

And if you can't have coffee without a little sugar — my coffee scrubs all have a sweet side. They just lead with the good stuff.
