A few months ago I realized that my skin just isn’t what it used to be. Simply washing it twice a day just wasn’t cutting anymore. If I wanted to keep my youthful, glowing smooth skin I had to make changes to my regimen. I found two great recipes online, an Ayurvedic facial and a coconut oil facial scrub. I now use the coconut facial scrub every night while I give myself the facial once a week. The facial is used by future brides in India who want to make sure that their skin looks flawless on the big day. This recipe is pretty simple and the results are instant, my skin always looks great right after.

It includes: one table spoon of chickpea flour, one teaspoon of turmeric, one table spoon of almond oil and 3 tablespoons of almond milk. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and then apply to face. I leave it there for 10 minutes until the paste is dry and then scrub. I really recommend it, as I am getting closer to 30 I realize that it takes work to look good 😩

*disclaimer: please make sure that you are not allergic to turmeric, or you will have an allergic reaction. Trust me it’s not pretty
