With all the effort I put into fair fashion, adding sustainable beauty into my routine feels overwhelming. Luckily, clean beauty products can be found in your kitchen pantry at home! My friend Francesca recently teamed up with Clean Beauty Co to offer an easy, homemade coconut scrub, and I wanted to share it with you:
I’m excited to share a super easy and effective DIY beauty recipe with you today. Literally anyone can make this body scrub, so you get the joy of making something, but it’s also cheap, sustainable and there’s no nasty ingredients in sight. This recipe was given to me by the gals over at Clean Beauty Co after we got chatting about natural beauty and I really recommend you check them out for natural, non-toxic beauty recipes and products…
From Clean Beauty Co:
I’m sure you’ve seen a load of companies selling coffee scrubs at the moment, us included! They are definitely the scrub of the moment and for good reason, as coffee is a fantastic exfoliant but is also nonabrasive, so perfect for sensitive skin. The high caffeine content of this scrub helps stimulate blood flow and give a temporary plumping effect, which helps mask any lumps, bumps or even cellulite…
We mix it with our trusty coconut oil, which is fantastically moisturising for the skin and high in naturally fatty acids which hydrate and nourish whilst also being a powerful antioxidant, meaning it’s great for cell regeneration and anti-ageing. We’ve also included pink himalayan salt to provide a bit of a detox kick, this stuff is great at drawing out any impurities or toxins from the skin, and finally, if you have one handy, an essential oil of your choice will fragrance this beautifully. We suggest lavender for sensitive and dry skin.
Head over to Francesca’s blog for the complete recipe and her review of the scrub! Thanks for sharing, Francesca!
