DIY Peeling

1 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tbsp ground coffee
some cinnamon

The brown sugar is a natural exfoliator and moisturizes. Just like honey, cinnamon is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, caution is advised when using cinnamon. Cinnamon can irritate sensitive skin. In this case you can replace it with a small spoonful of yogurt.
