1. THE BRAND BEHIND THE BODY POLISH
In every body product review I always start with a little background of the brand behind the product, knowing about the brand for me is very key because it says a lot about the product. If you have been reading my product reviews you know it is not my first time trying Ami body organics which is a Rwandan brand that was created by two beautiful sister Aisha and Amina in 2018, they offer Natural and Organic skin and hair products. Their products are plant based and are uncompromised in their natural healing state with the motto “GENTLE BY NATURE“. At Ami body organics they believe in natural and organic lifestyle and have a physical store at Prince house in Remera.
The first product i tried from Ami body organics was their aloe vera gel last year you can read more about it here, i loved their aloe vera gel because it is first of all a multi-purpose gel that you can use on your body, face and hair and when i received this body polish as my birthday gift i knew it was going to be FIRE.
2. THE PACKAGING
Same as the Aloe vera gel, this product comes in a clear white plastic container of 300 gr that is recyclable and travel friendly, on the package you find the name of the product , the brand, the contact information and social media handles as well. The package also contains information such the storage guidelines ( to be stored in a cool dry place), the usage and some of the remedies it provides.
For the package i will give it a 10/10 i love a package that provides all the information cause i love reading and knowing what i am getting into also for a made in Rwanda brand they did an amazing job with the branding.
3. THE INGREDIENTS
The coffee body polish is made of 100% Arabica coffee ground, virgin coconut oil, cinnamon powder, pure organic honey, brown sugar and African black soap. All these ingredients are known for providing healthy and glowing skin as detailed below:
A. Arabic coffee ground
Starting with the Arabic coffee ground this not only good as a flavorful beverage but it can also be good for your skin care routine as an exfoliator. The coarse texture of coffee grounds makes them an excellent natural exfoliant. They help to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant and also when used in a scrub, the massaging action combined with the caffeine in the coffee grounds stimulates blood flow, which can lead to healthier, more vibrant skin.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: Coffee grounds contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce redness and puffiness in the skin. This can be particularly beneficial for soothing irritated skin.
- Reduction of Cellulite: Caffeine is known for its potential to reduce the appearance of cellulite. It works by dilating blood vessels beneath the skin and improving overall blood flow, which can tighten the skin and reduce the dimpled appearance of cellulite.
- Brightening Effect: The antioxidants in coffee grounds help to fight free radicals, which can cause dullness and damage to the skin. Regular use can lead to a brighter and more even skin tone.
- Anti-aging Benefits: The antioxidants in coffee grounds also combat signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, helping to maintain a youthful complexion.
- Acne Treatment: The exfoliating properties help to unclog pores, which can prevent acne. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects can reduce the redness and swelling associated with breakouts.
B. VIRGIN COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is known for it’s different skin and hair care benefits and it is a product i would highly suggest adding in your skincare routine, it will help you with:
- Moisturization: Virgin coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer for the skin. It penetrates deeply to hydrate and soften the skin, making it ideal for dry or rough patches.
- Antibacterial, anti- inflammatory and antifungal Properties: It contains lauric acid, which has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. This can help protect the skin from infections and reduce the occurrence of acne. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin. It’s beneficial for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
- Skin Barrier Support: Virgin coconut oil strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental toxins and allergens.
- Cleansing and Makeup Removal: It can be used as a natural cleanser to remove makeup and impurities from the skin. Its emollient properties help to dissolve makeup while leaving the skin hydrated.
C. CINNAMON POWDER & OTHER INGREDIENTS
The next ingredient found in our body polish is the cinnamon powder that is known for it’s anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti- inflammatory properties. Incorporating cinnamon powder into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits, from reducing acne to promoting a glowing complexion. Its natural properties make it a valuable addition to a holistic skincare regimen.
Other ingredients like brown sugar is known for being an excellent natural exfoliant and also being a source of hydration since it contains glycolic acid. The black soap has many benefits you can read from my previous black soap review here but some include being a deeper cleanser and containing anti bacterial and antifungal properties.
For the ingredients i will give it a solid 10/10 because with this natural body polish you get to benefit from all the ingredients found in this product.
3. HOW TO USE THE AMIBODY COFFEE BODY POLISH
Just like any other body scrub it is advisable to use it at least once a week for better results remember with skincare consistency is key. And you can watch the whole process of using your body scrub in your shower routine in one of my youtube videos here.
