KOHANA COFFEE BODY POLISH

A few months ago Kohana sent me this lovely gift basket with some amazing bath and body products! I've "hit pan" on another one of the body polishes and I want to tell you all about it! Here's what the coffee body polish looked like before my skin devoured it!


"Kona coffee is grown in fertile volcanic soil producing some of the world's best coffee.  Exotic coffee butter and antioxidant-rich organic Kona coffee from the Big Island of Hawaii have been combined to create a rich aromatic body polish.  The caffeine in the coffee improves circulation and reduces the appearance of cellulite.  Tropical oils that have been incorporated into this fabulous scrub renew and restore the skin."

This one felt a tad drier than the ginger one I used first. But just like the ginger one, it starts to "melt" in your hands (from the warmth I'm assuming) so you have to start to quickly rub it on to the skin. While there are lots of tiny grains to slough off the skin in here, there's so much natural oil also, my skin felt amazing when I was finished! If you love the scent of freshly ground coffee, you will love the scent of this!! There is also a body butter to go with this, but I don't have it. But to be honest, just like with the ginger scrub, I really didn't even feel like my skin needed a moisturizer when I got out of the shower---the oils really did hydrate my skin!!

I'm looking forward to using my last scrub! I'll be sad when it's gone, but I will def purchase some of these goodies for myself!! You can find this and many other Kohana products in the NV Beauty Boutique! Please check it out!

KOHANA BATH & BEAUTY PRODUCTS


"Natural & Organic skin care inspired by the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. Retreat to your own tropical isle. Connect with nature and experience Kohana Skin."

I was recently asked to try Kohana bath & beauty products. I love to pamper myself, so of course I said yes! Pictured above is a gift set available from Kohana. I was eager to take a peek at what was inside!


Isn't this adorable? My eyes just lite up!I couldn't wait to open each one and see the textures and smell the scents! It's going to take me a while to review each of these, so this review will be in parts! I didn't want to wait until I tried each one because I wanted to go ahead and share this with you!

Here's what all the tops of the jars look like:

So pretty! I love it! This is the same picture on the brochure founder Christie Wanlass sent me. I think it's gorgeous! So the first goodies I decided to try were the Wild Ginger Alaca Salt Scrub & the Wild Ginger Tropical Moisture Creme.

Here's a close look at the texture of those:


Let me tell you....the wild ginger alaca salt scrub smells amazing and felt so good on my skin! It wasn't too rough but still felt like it was exfoliating my skin. The scent is quite strong, but I love the way it smells. The scrub did seem to just melt into my skin and left it feeling so soft! I really didn't even feel like I needed to use any moisturizer when I got out of the shower because this left my skin so soft. I really didn't expect to like this product as much as I like my beloved Soap & Glory body polish---but I love it even more!!

After I got out of my warm shower, I slathered (yes, slathered) my elbows/knees/and legs with the wild ginger tropical moisture creme! I spread the excess on the rest of my body. The texture of this creme isn't to heavy, but isn't one of those lotions you put on and feel like you are just spreading something thicker than water on your skin. It sunk in quickly and smelled so nice.The scent is really nice and stays on for quite some time.

I can't wait to try the others but it's going to take me a while to get through all these!! If you are interested in Kohana products for yourself or as a gift, please check out the NV Beauty Boutique!
