The theme for the month of October is to “shed the dead” with various forms of skin exfoliation. Here is a gentle home exfoliation recipe for the October “Make It Yourself” recipe feature to keep you smooth and glowing.
Gentle Coconut Sugar Face Scrub for Silky Skin
Sugar is renowned for its exfoliating prowess, celebrated for its ability to refine your skin’s texture without the harshness of salt. This delightful face scrub goes beyond mere exfoliation, as it harnesses the moisturizing magic of coconut oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, to pamper and hydrate your skin. Furthermore, the abundant polyphenols found in matcha work their wonders by promoting skin cell regeneration. To complete this beauty elixir, a touch of honey provides deep nourishment.

– 1 cup of coconut palm sugar
– 1 tablespoon of organic matcha powder
– 1 teaspoon of organic honey
Instructions:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Blend them together to create a luxurious scrub.
3. Gently massage the scrub onto your face, using circular motions.
4. Rinse thoroughly to reveal smoother, rejuvenated skin.
