Skincare has become one of the most important factors in my daily routine since moving into the city a year ago. The harsh elements and air quality of New York are not forgiving, all year round. I learned the hard way when my skin starting reacting very strongly to products I’ve always used in a negative way. With some trial and error, as well as humiliation, the route I’ve found to be the most beneficial for my skin type has been organic and/or targeted towards dry skin treatment.

The realization of skincare I’ve come to find is treatment begins beyond the lotions, something my novice self didn’t consider years before now. It begins with exfoliation and toning. Coffee scrubs appealed to me because of the continuous marketing I came across, as well as the fact it was an actual product rather than chemicals. However, not all coffee scrubs are ideal or beneficial for that matter.

Lucky for me, I’ve come across an alternative to the body scrub that’s all the rage – NuBotanik. Unlike other coffee scrubs, NuBotanik Body Scrub does NOT source from regular coffee beans but instead from the whole coffee fruit – Coffeeberry, which has much more skin beneficial compounds compared to coffee beans. When collected at a right time, the whole coffee fruit is an antioxidant powerhouse. This is really a first kind of natural scrub that uses whole coffee fruit.

And the results I’ve received are outstanding. The Body Scrub has all natural active ingredients and is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols. Once a week use is exfoliating, rejuvenating, and conditioning which lasts for days on end. At the same time, it’s helping my skin boost collagen production while targeting skin blemishes.

Did I mention it smells amazing? I’m adoring the pear scent but eager to try some of the others, especially coconut. Check out all of NuBotanik’s Body Scrubs and get inspired to try a new type of exfoliating therapy guaranteed to leave you feeling radiant for weeks to come, despite the elements of the great outdoors.
