Some 60-70 percent of women believe they have sensitive skin; if you fall into this category, try one of nature's treats: freshly shredded young coconut (rich in nutrients but not over-abrasive). The Mandara Spa at The Chedi in Bali offers this scrub using nutritious coconuts from Sulawesi.
Ingredients
half young coconut, freshly grated
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (or 1 cm tumeric root,grated)
1/4 kilo (1/2 lb) carrots, grated or blended
2 tbsp gelatin, already set
Steps
1. Mix the freshly grated coconut with the turmeric (the latter is used for its cleansing properties and high vitamin C content).
2. Gently rub the mixture all over your body.
3. Leave for- five minutes and wipe off with a wet, warm cloth.
4. Mix the carrot and gelatin and apply to the skin. This adds conditioning nutrients to the skin after the exfoliating process.
