3 natural exfoliants that you can do at home

Spicy body scrub with brown sugar and coconut

This recipe is an authentic delight for the senses thanks to the mixture of spices and aromas used in its preparation, slightly spicy.

Brown sugar is a gentle exfoliant since its crystals are more rounded and dissolve easily, while coconut shell, firmer, will help us repair the most damaged areas.

Adding a spoonful of spices such as cinnamon, pepper and ginger, we contribute to our mixture some spicy notes that will also help us raise body temperature, purify and reduce body inflammation.
