Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

Gentle Skin Exfoliant

For a gentle sensitive skin exfoliator

Mix 1/2 cup organic cornmeal

1/4 cup organic milk

two teaspoons baking soda

one tablespoon organic virgin coconut oil and five drops of tea-tree oil in a bowl

Gently apply to your skin

Facial Exfoliater 

2 heaped teaspoons fine oatmeal 1 teaspoon baking soda. Combine ingredients, and add enough water to make a paste. Apply to skin and rub gently. Rinse and gently pat dry.

Sea salt removes dry, flaky, dead skin. Wet face (or anywhere on the body), apply a couple of tablespoons of sea salt, then GENTLY massage with a wet washcloth or fingers. Focus on the T-zone and cheeks, but avoid the eye area.

Maximum once per week.

Body Scrub

Grind 1/2 cup organic short grain brown rice in blender with 1/2 cup of water and use as a body scrub - it is effective at smoothing away dead skin cells, but gentle enough for daily use instead of soap. If you require extra moisturising, add a few drops of almond, coconut or olive oil to the scrub. To preserve, add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
