- Sea Salt - Added exfoliation to tackle dry, flaky skin without irritation and anti-bacterial to fight breakouts.
How To Use The Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub
- Get naked and get in the shower.
- Once your skin is wet, cover your body in the Original Coffee Scrub. Scrub in circular motions for a few minutes, from top to toe.
- Focus on areas that want extra attention by scrubbing them for longer: scars, stretch marks, breakouts or cellulite

After a single shower use, your skin will immediately look and feel tighter, brighter and more even. You’ll also notice dry patches are gone and that your skin feels supple. But, after continued regular use, you’ll see scars and breakouts fade away. And you’ll notice fewer dry patches in between scrubs!
