Review: Lush Cup O'Coffee Face and Body Mask
The mask that gives away your coffee addiction.
Coffee
is not only a great hot drink to have, it's also a great element for
skincare. Coffee grains are a good scrub, they clear the skin and
stimulate it. As an absolute coffee addict, I had to try the Lush Cup
O'Coffee face and body mask. It's been out for a while now and I only
heard good things about it, so I recently picked it up.
It
is not a fresh mask, so no need to worry about keeping it in the
fridge. My advice would be to store it in a cool place, because the
oil/agave syrup (as you can see from the photo) separates from the
rest of the scrub when it's exposed to warmth. However it doesn't
alter the quality of the mask at all!
I
use this mask once of twice a week, leaving it for about ten minutes
of the skin and then rubbing it off gently with tepid water. Two
great things about the mask:
-
it doesn't dry out completely on your face, so there are absolutely
no risks of dry or rough patches,
-
the little coffee grounds are great for exfoliating, as they are tiny
so no risk of damaging the skin or feeling uncomfortable, but there
are enough of them to actually give a good, effective scrub to the
skin.
Give
your skin a nice massage as you rub the mask off, it'll feel relaxing
and make your skin look even smoother and exfoliated. When you rinse
off the product, it's going to be a little messy, but the result is
well worth it: your skin appears bright, soft and clean. It's a great
mask to do in the morning if you have enough time, otherwise it works
well as an evening cleansing mask as well.
As
it says on the label, you can also use this mask on your body, but
for obvious, product-saving reasons I haven't tried that. However, I read a post once from a blogger who used a pot of Cup
O'Coffee to scrub her whole body, and she said she had no regrets at all.
So maybe coffee body scrubs will be the next step for me. One
can never have enough coffee!
Have you tried this Lush mask? What is your favourite energising face scrub?
Lots of love,

I like a few LUSH masks, mainly the fresh ones, but never tried that. I dont drink coffee, but I still love the scent.
