If your skin tends to be a bit rough and leathery, you'll go nuts for a Mandi Kemiri, which literally leaves it glowing and feeling like silk. The pale, round keimiri or candlenut oozes so much oil that when crushed, it both exfoliates and deeply moisturizes the body. This luxuriant skin scrub is exclusively offered at jamu Body Treatments in
Ingredients
10 pieces peeled candlenuts
a few shavings galangal (can substitute with ginger or omit)
Steps
1. Grind the nuts coarsely in a pestle and mortar and add the white ginger so that the mixture looks and smells vaguely like crunchy peanut butter.
2. Rub gently over the entire body and then rub harder with the palm of your hand. The nut oil extracts dirt from the skin's pores so that when the scrub sloughs off with rubbing, the granules, which started out as a taupe colour, have turned dark with dirt.
3. Rinse under the shower. If you like the oily feeling on the skin, which is neither heavy nor clogging, don't use soap. Enjoy the lingering nutty aroma.
