Little Barn Apothecary exfoliating coffee scrub
Works for
MoisturizingCocos nucifera oil, Theobroma cacao seed butterWorks
“exfoliating coffee scrub is packed full of antioxidants and caffeine to revive and firm the skin's appearance, gently emulsive to leave skin moisturized and not greasy.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera oil, theobroma cacao seed butter.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

“exfoliating coffee scrub”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
