To make it, mix ¼ cup coconut milk with 2 teaspoons honey and 2 teaspoons oatmeal in a small bowl. Once it reaches a paste-like texture, apply to your face using round, upward movements. Leave the mask for 10-15 minutes, then wash off with warm water.
Coconut Oil and Brown Sugar Scrub.
This scrub helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and moisturized. Coconut oil is known for its hydrating properties, while brown sugar acts as a gentle exfoliant. To make this scrub, you'ill need two tablespoons coconut oil and one tablespoon brown sugar. In a bowl, mix coconut oil and brown sugar until they form a paste-like consistency. Gently massage the scrub onto damp skin in circular motions for a few minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.

This hair mask deeply nourishes and moisturizes the hair, promoting healthy hair growth and adding shine. Avocado is rich in vitamins and minerals, while banana helps to repair damaged hair. All you need to make this mask is one ripe avocado and one ripe banana. Mash the avocado and banana together in a bowl until they form a smooth paste. Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends. Leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour. - Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and do not forget to use shampoo.
Coffee Scrub.
You can help revive dry and tired skin with this exfoliating scrub that will smell good enough to eat, which of course you can't. Mix half a cup of honey, four teaspoons coffee grounds and two teaspoons brown sugar or coarse sea salt. Before applying it to the skin, first take a hot shower to moisten your skin and open pores, then apply the scrub using upward, circular motions and medium pressure. Rinse, dry off and apply your favorite body lotion.
Green Tea and Aloe Vera Toner.
Green tea is packed with antioxidants that help to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. Aloe vera has moisturizing and healing properties, making this toner perfect for balancing and refreshing your skin. In a bowl, add a cup of cold brewed green tea, and two tablespoons aloe vera gel.
