the secret to the softest skin ever

I recently got back from a 17 day trip around Europe (look for upcoming blog posts about the entire trip starting on Wednesday) and after plane rides, train rides, and hostels there was nothing I wanted to do more once I got home then take a nice long hot shower. I needed to feel like a new woman and after following my favorite skincare rountine trust me, I did. So today I wanted to share with you my secrets to having the softest skin ever. 

Step one is to take a really long hot bath. Grab your favorite lush bath bombs and bubble bars and relax girl, you deserve it! After soaking in the tub until my fingers are raisins I wash my body with the body wash of the moment then I exfoliate. This exfoliant is the true star of this post. 

My favorite exfoliant is Frank Coffee Scrub. This stuff is incredible. It comes in a coffee bag and looks and smells like coffee. Like all scrubs, I turn off the shower and scrub it all over my body. I then let it sit on my skin for 5 - 10 minutes before washing it off. I personally like to dance around my shower to some of my favorite guilty pleasure music to pass the time. (I know I'm not the only 25 year old out there who loves One Direction.) After you rinse it off you will feel how crazy soft your skin is. It is insane. Be forewarned though, the company's slogan isn't "Get Dirty with Frank" for no reason. This stuff can make a mess. I find myself standing in the corner of my shower as I'm applying for fear of getting it all over my white bathroom. Don't worry though it will wash out. 

Once I am all dry I LOVEEEE using any of The Body Shop Body Butters. My favorite scents are clementine, rose, or almond but they are all the same formula. They make your skin so soft and in combination with Frank you will have skin that feels like new! 

Let me know if this works for you! What is your favorite soft skin trick?
