HOME MADE ORGANIC EXFOLIATING MASK

This mask is one of my FAVORITE things to use on my skin!! It makes it SO soft, it's cheap, easy and effective so I highly suggest it! Everything in it is organic leaving you with a harmless scrub that you can use quickly or leave on for 15-20 minutes as a mask!

So here's the drill. Next time you make a full pot of coffee, DON'T THROW AWAY THE USED COFFEE GRAINS! Simply take them out of the filter and put them into a bowl. Squeeze in 1/2 of an organic lemon.

Don't be afraid to let some of the pulp from the lemon get in there. LEMONS ARE AMAAAAZING for our skin!

Lemon brightens and lightens our skin, exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells, heals acne and helps diminish scars and signs of aging. EVERYONE NEEDS LEMON ON THEIR FACE!

Next: 

Add 1 tablespoon of organic honey and a tablespoon of organic coconut oil.

When honey is applied to the face it will draw moisture in from the air and hold in within the skin where it feels it is necessary - hellllo hydration! It also helps to keep our pores clean and clear, exfoliates, brightens the skin, and helps reduce the appearance of scars. 

Coconut oil is like my best friend, you can literally use that stuff on EVERYTHING! Here it will drench your pores with some moisture and it acts as a make up remover!

Next, Mix it all up!

Store it in a cool, dry area. I usually keep mine in a little mason jar next to my sink OR i'll take it into the shower and use it as a FULL BODY EXFOLIANT! You're gunna die at how soft and smooth your skin is. And you'll smell like a yummy latte ;)
