Last Monday I picked up my facial scrub! Yay!
Ingredients: fine ground coffee, cocoa , baking soda, dry milk.
Instructions: rub about 1 teaspoon of scrub onto a wet face and rinse
I was told over the phone that this scrub would last me a "long time". I was a little taken back when I pulled it out of the the packaging to see that it was a dry scrub, which explains why is would last without spoiling. I've used this twice a week so far and I like it. I really couldn't use it more often because of the coffee grounds. They are quite fine, but they still feel a little hard on the face. The milk works well as a moisture agent. Overall, it does a good job at slothing my skin without drying me out.
On another note, I've stopped using the vitamin E on my face all together and went ahead and started using the Shea butter. I've gotten over my fear of having Shea butter on my face. I apply a thin layer after washing (in the morning and before bed). Less is more in this case. It leaves my face soft and healthy looking. I've also noticed my scars and spots slowly fading. It will take time, maybe a month or so, to see true results. The true test will be to see how these products prevent my once a month breakouts. Among other terrible things, my face goes haywire when my monthly friend shows up. I will have finally arrived when I find products to combat that.
