I'm drying to a crisp here in Calgary, Canada. Yes, it's summer here, but we don't have any sort of humid summers, we have hot (this year seems hotter than usual!) dry summers. So although I think my poor dry skin will get a break from the harsh winters - not the case here! So what's a girl to do? Welcome Jealous Grapeseed + Macadamia Coffee Scrub.

Facts about my skin in the summer:
Texture: Can get rough, especially my feet, elbows, and hands
Skin Type: dry - I need to moisture with no exceptions!
