YIELDS: 1 whole body mask
⁄ cup pineapple
1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed orange juice
⁄ + cup coconut cream
⁄ cup coconut flour
⁄ cup granulated sugar
Zest of 1 orange
What you will need: blender, rubber spatula, mixing bowl, measuring
cups, fork, tight-sealing storage container
1. To Make: Place the pineapple, orange juice, and coconut cream into the
blender and mix on low until well blended. Place the creamed pineapple in
the mixing bowl, using the rubber spatula to remove as much as possible.
Add the coconut flour, sugar, and orange zest and stir with a fork until you
have a uniform consistency. Add more coconut cream or sugar, a little at a
time as necessary to achieve a spreadable paste.
2. To Store: This mask is best used fresh. Store any leftovers in a sealed
container in the refrigerator and use within a day or two.
3. To Use: Apply to clean, damp skin in small, upward motions. Start with
your body and finish with your face. Once you are covered from head to
toe, massage the scrub in small circular motions, starting with the legs and
arms, making your way up to the torso, ending at your heart. Then move to
your face, avoiding the eye area. Massage your face with light pressure,
using circular motions. Allow to set on your body for up to 30 minutes and
up to 15 minutes on your face. To rinse, get in the shower and rinse well.
For maximum benefit, do not use soap to wash off the residual oils. Towel
dry and mist your face with Old-Fashioned Rosewater to
close the pores. It is unlikely that you will need any additional moisturizer.
