Frank Body Scrub.

frank

A week or two ago at work, one of my girlfriends was complaining about her {nonexistent} cellulite. In a hushed voice, she said, “I bought Frank Body Scrub.” This immediately piqued my interest… “What’s Fraankkk!?” I exclaimed back. Then our other friends chimed in. “Frank is magic. Frank turns your skin into velvet.” “Frank gets rid of your cellulite.” I was all like, “What? How do I not know about this!?!!?” I mean, I’m the blogger in the group and read a gajillion blogs for work, and I’d never heard of this stuff, not even once. Cut to me on their website, five minutes later, placing an order. I liked that the product is all natural and contains yummy ingredients like coffee grains, brown sugar, sea salt, almond oil, and orange essence. And everyone I know seems to rave about it… check out the comments on my instagram if you want further evidence… they got fanatical! Also, I have a kind of dirty sense of humor and love their marketing. I think it is hilarious/awesome that their slogan is “Get Naked. Get Dirty. Get Rough. Get Clean.”

Frank arrived in the mail a few days later and I got up early yesterday morning just to use it. Frank doesn’t mess around. At the end of my shower, I covered myself in the stuff and scrubbed. You scrub all over, concentrating on any dry spots, stretch marks, cellulite, etc. Now, be forewarned. Frank is messy. A bit of a nightmare if you are a clean freak. He is dark brown, smells like coffee and leaves coffee grits all over the shower. And then, for best results, you are supposed to stand around naked while it works further magic and dries. Then, you get back in the shower and rinse it off.

Standing in the shower naked for ten minutes sounded kind of awful so I brushed my teeth, fed the cat, and did the dishes. Naked, covered in the scrub. I looked pretty terrifying. These are the benefits of living alone, friends. Β But when I rinsed off, my skin did feel just like silk. I’m hooked.

Also, my friend uses it every other day {but only leaves it on for five minutes} and said that her cellulite is completely gone. I’ve only used it once, but my skin definitely feels amazing — smooth, silky, and definitely firmer.Β Anyway, you can get itΒ here.Β And for the record, I got the coconut one. Its a couple dollars more but I love coconut oil.

PS – If you’ve tried this, and want to leave your experience in the comments section, I’d be so grateful – I’d love to hear what others think about it.

    I think I read about this on a British (or was it Canadian?) beauty blog but I’ve never tried it before. I’m definitely intrigued though- especially if it really does get rid of cellulite!

    I don’t really believe in miracle products, but for the relatively low price I’m going to give it a shot. I have ketosis pilaris (and cellulite, too, duh) and would love to give that the boot before summer – and this is SO much cheaper than the KP duty products.

    How many uses do you think you’ll get per bag?

      I have KP too! On my arms – its the worst. This definitely helps. Have you tried Glytone? Their body wash + lotion is amazing for KP – I like it better than KP Duty. But honestly this is even better… and it is all natural. I would say you’d probably get 8 or 10 scrubs from the bag? But I’m not sure. I used a lot the first time, probably more than I needed.

      I really hope you try this as it sounds like we have similar skin issues. Let me know what you think!

          I used to have KP and discovered Skin Milk’s Shower Gel on Amazon. Bought a pack of 6 for less than $5 each and have never turned back! My arms are smooth as a baby’s bottom and people always compliment me on how soft they are! Give it a try — found them on drugstore.com too!

          I have KP too and NOTHING helps…not even that Derma Duty. However I recently started using Mia products, their body butter specifically and the KP has gone away! It is crazy. Give it a try too.

        I ordered one of the Glytone kits on Amazon and liked it, but never ended up reordering. Now I just exfoliate and use Amlactin, which I buy in big bottles from Costco, but it just hasn’t been getting the job done lately. Ordered two bags of coconut frank scrub! I’ll keep you posted πŸ™‚

        If you stop using it do the results backfire?

        • Grace Atwood:

          I think so. The caffeine is what tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite (a temporary effect – but note that there’s no real permanent cure for cellulite) and the scrub exfoliates dead skin cells… so if you stop using it and aren’t exfoliating, your skin will go back to it’s old state. But this is the same as with any topical treatment… if you stop using something, you stop seeing results (sad but true!)

    What?!! Can’t believe I’m just learning of Frank now! The package is so cool I’d buy it just for that! Wonder how long the results last. Like if I used a whole package and then went months without using it.

      I’m pretty sure that if you stop using it the results go away (at least that’s the case with most anti-cellulite products…) but I don’t know! Will be interesting to find out. πŸ™‚

    I was super tempted to buy this last week, but ended up trying to mimic it at home. I tossed day old used coffee grounds, some white sugar (only because I was low on brown), some table salt, and some coconut oil together, and mushed it around till I got a good paste. Have used my mix three times in about a week, and the results are pretty stellar. Will probably add some of Weleda’s almond oil to my next batch, and try brown sugar and sea salt. DIY if you dare? I’d be curious how it compares to Frank. πŸ™‚

      exactly… its so easy to make yourself.. ive been using this scrub for over a year… i just mix coffee, coconut oil, or olive oil and brown sugar, whatever… it just sloughs off old skin like a great exfoliator…. i couldnt imagine paying for something i could make super easy.. nice advertising though

    This is great stuff!! I had just bought the KP Duty to prepare for my spray tan and was uber impressed with how wonderful my body felt after using. I just did another scrub yesterday (post vacation)!! I am definitely pinning this for purchase after depleting my KP jar since it sounds less expensive and I never knew our bodies could feel sooo good after an at-home body “spa” treatment !! Thanks!!

    It’s pretty incredible. I ordered on Thursday and it arrived next day (I live in Los Angeles) and my first use was today. It smells delicious and after scrubbing with Frank my skin was left feeling SO soft, I couldn’t believe it. I was so impressed that I gave it to my mom to try, she suffers from psoriasis that covers most of her body. Hopefully she will find some relief. I will post a follow up after she uses it.

    Just used this product, the cacao version & the first thing I noticed is the KP I have on my arms looks like it faded. Granted its still there but it’s only my first use so I’m almost positive it will get rid of it after more uses. I’ve had creams prescribed for this but they smell horrible & are extremely expensive. Like anything I believe I will have to use this consistently to keep the KP under control but not a huge deal, we keep up with haircuts, waxes, manis/pedis, etc

  44. Frank Scrub:

    I’ve been using the Frank Body Coffee Scrub for about 2 weeks now about 2-3 times a week when I have had an evening free. I have slight eczema on my elbows and top of hands plus have cellulite and some stretch marks from my 2 births in the last 6-7 years. I was impressed by the results on first use, definitely my skin felt softer, smoother and firmer and definitely saw a fading in my cellulite and war wounds as I like to call them. But its only after using the coffee scrub for a couple weeks that I’ve really seen a dramatic diminishing of my cellulite/war wounds. I think it softens the hard pigments and makes your blood flow better helping the skin to repair itself. All in all, this is a wonderful product from our cousins down under and I highly rate it. Will keep using it and hopefully, if I’m feeling brave enough, upload some before and after pics. But I’ll get back to you on that! πŸ™‚
