While winter is almost behind us, spending an afternoon enjoying the great outdoors can still take a toll on your skin. Temperatures are beginning to rise, but the air is still dry and my skin is begging for more pampering. Therefore, I’m ramping up my skincare game and making a mental note to exfoliate once a week in order to have my skin ready to be on display come spring.

These exfoliating coffee shower melts are able to fulfill two of my skin care goals – stay hydrated and exfoliated. Since these shower melts are enriched with ingredients to quench your skin, they won’t leave your body feeling tight and dry after exfoliation. Therefore, they are perfect when you are in a hurry. Simply pat your skin dry after your shower and your skin will still feel soft and hydrated!
