Gabrielle Union revealed the $20 moisturizing body scrub she swears by, during a small business holiday gift guide event on Amazon Live.
It's the CariBBrew coffee body scrub and it works as a two-in-one body butter and scrub, thanks to its shea butter and coffee-infused ingredients.
"I'm kinda obsessed with it," said Union during the live stream.
While Gabrielle Union is known for so much more than just her flawless skin, her complexion is so stunning (we love those makeup-free selfies on Instagram!), that it's clear the star is a true skincare aficionado.
The 49-year-old always seems to look radiant on and off the screen. Wondering how she gets her skin so smooth? You're in luck—she recently shared the body scrub she uses to achieve her golden glow.
The actress revealed during a recent Amazon live stream that the CariBBrew coffee body scrub is a must-have for her skincare routine. "I'm kinda obsessed with it," she said. "It is so awesome to use in the tub, the shower, and it leaves your skin so silky smooth."
The CariBBrew coffee body scrub is made from freshly roasted organic Haitian coffee. It has exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to its natural and good-for-you ingredients like coconut oil and fine cane sugar (so exfoliating!).
What makes this luxurious body scrub even more remarkable is its versatility. Aside from exfoliating dull-looking skin, it doubles as body butter thanks to shea butter making it onto the ingredient list.
"Shea butter melts at body temperature, so it absorbs rapidly into the skin, leaving it soft but not greasy, said Rebecca Kazin, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist based in Washington, DC., in a previous interview for Prevention.com. "Its chemical makeup binds to water, meaning it pulls extra moisture out of the air and into your skin," she explains.
The brand also notes that the scrub may help improve blood flow, stimulate new skin cells to remove dry skin , and improve the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite.
"The consistency...it's none of that watery scrub stuff that we're all kind of all used to," said Union. "Its got like some real 'oomph' to it, and it really gets all that dead skin off...it's amazing."
Amazon customers have also been loving this body scrub, giving it a 4.5-star rating.
"I used this through my pregnancy and it leaves a nice layer of moisture on the belly preventing itchiness from the growth," wrote one satisfied customer. "I love the smell of coffee, and it does not leave any particles behind in the shower, so clean up is not a mess. I would recommend this product anytime."
"This body scrub leaves my skin feeling super soft and moisturized! You need this in your life," added another reviewer.
And for just $20, it's worth the try. This scrub will help you achieve a youthful and radiant complexion similar to Union's signature glow. Shop Union's favorite body scrub here as well as some other of her Amazon holiday gift guide picks below.
