Your next #SelfCareSunday face mask situation

Apply It

Gently spread the scrub over your face avoiding the sensitive areas of the lips and eyes. 

Using a circular action, start to move the mixture to gently exfoliate the skin, focusing particular attention to the T-Zone or other problem/congested areas.

Mask It

If you've got the time, leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes to allow all the goodness to soak into your skin. 

Clear It

The one thing you DON'T want to do here, is get the coffee grounds down the sink [ unless you're planning on calling a plumber out soon for a blocked drain].

To avoid this happening, either use a sink trapper to remove the sediment or use disposable wipes or a cloth to remove the majority of the grounds first before rinsing the remains off.

Glow It

Your skin should now feel luxuriously soft and the remains of the coconut oil will keep your skin moisturised for the rest of the day! 

Best used once a week, hello #SelfCareSunday to refresh and energise your skin.
