This $20 beauty product is simple but genius

Frank Body is a simple but genius idea: Turn coffee grounds into an exfoliator. The little pink bags, which you've likely seen all over TikTok and cost $20, are just that. 

The brand came on to the beauty scene in 2013 when five friends were sitting around having coffee and decided that the grounds would make for a great exfoliator (via The Fashion Institute).

Since then, the brand has gone viral and expanded its product line while staying true to its exfoliating roots. There's everything from lips scrubs to moisturizers, all of which have incredible ratings.

In fact, Frank Body's Original Body Scrub has almost 5,000 reviews on the website and a rating of 4.8 stars out of 5. Customers say that, while they weren't sure about buying a product that's all over social media, it was well worth the money. 

"Skeptical at first as I don't like Insta influencers, I usually refuse to buy the product because of them. However my niece told me all about it and said I should try it ... and she was right it was AMAZING," one reviewer said, per the Frank Body website.

Thankfully, Frank Body's scrubs aren't a hassle at all. You set the little coffee scrub bags in the shower, take a handful during your next wash, and rub it all over your body in tiny circles (via Bustle). Then, just rinse off — and you're on your way to smoother skin. 

As if the instructions weren't easy enough, you're going to love how simple it is to add this into your shower routine. According to an Instagram post from the brand, you only need to use the product two to three times a week to see results.

Don't just take our word for it, though. "I have been using this scrub since 2014 (back when packets were paper and not waterproof) and it really is the OG of coffee body scrubs," said one reviewer, per the Frank Body website. "Great scrub and smooth silky skin. I've tried many others and this is still the best."
