A good body scrub can make all the difference between rough skin and baby smooth skin. With another harsh dry winter in Canada my skin is in dire need of exfoliation and hydration. - and with Jealous being a Canadian company - they know how bad our winters can be! I was fortunate enough to be able to try the Jealous Body Scrub. The scrub is available online - and they ship to Canada and US for free! First a little bit about my skin:

The Product: Jealous Body Coffee & Coconut Scrub ($18 CDN)
This body scrub has an impressive ingredient list. First ingredient is of course coffee, but also contains naturally exfoliating and hydrating oils and vitamins. Here is the full list - all things I can actually pronounce! (see source here):
- coffee grounds stimulate blood flow which help reduce the appearance of cellulite, eczema, stretch marks, age spots, varicose veins, psoriasis & acne
- brown sugar & sea salt exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin
- cold pressed organic coconut oil hydrates & moisturizes your skin
- vitamin E & minerals protect and repair your skin
Jealous Body Scrub - Packaging
The scrub itself comes in a paper water proof resealable bag - similar to how you would find some coffee beans. I was a little worried taking the bag in the shower, but i've gotten it wet and I've had no issues - just make sure that you seal it when not in use. The package contains 200g of product.

The Results
I can describe my skin in four words words after using this scrub: Baby soft moisturized skin. Did it live up to the claim of "help reduce the appearance of cellulite, eczema, stretch marks, age spots, varicose veins, psoriasis & acne"? On my skin I only have cellulite which I'm not too fussy about. I think to really put this to the test it would require using the scrub at least 3 times a week (as instructed) for a few weeks or months to see the full results.
Using the scrub? Yes it's messy. You'll get scrub all over your bathtub, but it just rinses away. But who doesn't love waking up to a fresh pot of coffee being brewed? I personally love the smell - it really wakes you up!
The scrub itself is exactly what you imagine it to be - coffee grinds. I used about 2-3 handfuls for each use. In total, you can get about 5-10 uses from the package. I was very impressed with ingredient list - both because they are truly natural ingredients and they are great for the skin. The moisturizing ingredients in this scrub really do double duty:
1. Gently exfoliates the skin - I sometimes find the sugar scrubs can be a little harsh on the skin, but this coffee scrub got the job done without being overly rough on the skin
2. Naturally Moisturizes the skin - I think the coconut oil is the real winner here. My skin did not feel oily or sticky afterwards - just naturally moisturized. I didn't have to apply any moisturizer after showering!
