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!

THE PRODUCT: JEALOUS GRAPESEED AND MACADAMIA COFFEE SCRUB ($19 CDN)
This product review may seem a little familiar, and that's because this is the second scrub I've tried from the Jealous line. I first tried the Coconut + Coffee Scrub (see my review here). This scrub has grapeseed and macadamia nut oil. What are these oils good for you ask?
This particular scrub is formulated for oily skin; claiming to to balance oil production and tighten skin. And the rest of the ingredients, is stuff you can actually pronounce~ coffee rounds, raw brown sugar, sea salt, vitamin, and minerals. Check out their expanded line of scrubs below.

Like other Jealous Scrubs, this one is a little messy to apply, but totally worth it! The smell of coffee will definitely wake you up, and the coffee grounds are great at gently exfoliating the skin. The packaging may seen a little unconventional, but it has a "zipper close" and the bag is waterproof, and I haven't had any issues with storing it.
THE RESULTS
Like the other Jealous Body scrub I've tried, this did not disappoint. I first used it just as a hand scrub before a manicure and my hands felt like butter afterwards. They were very soft, and moisturized, but did not feel greasy. I have also tried this as a full body scrub a few times, and had same results. It left my body soft and smooth. I particularly enjoyed the results on my feet - which can take a beating over the summer.
If you haven't tried Jealous Body Scrubs before - I would recommend them. First of all, it's a local Canadian company, and their scrubs are all natural. With a mini-me on the way in a few months, I've been more conscious of what I've been using on my skin - this stuff is not only great but has great ingredients!
