Hair mask for coloured hair:
Soften a large chunk of coconut cream in your hands and massage into your hair. Wrap your head in a warm towel and leave it on for an hour. Wash out with a gentle shampoo.

Face masks

Natural skin brightener recipe from India:
Mix a tablespoon of turmeric powder in 1 cup of plain yogurt. Leave on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse off.

Natural exfoliate for all skin types:
Mix a tiny amount of brown sugar with olive oil in your palm. Once it turns into a paste, massage into your face. Cure chapped lips by mixing brown sugar with honey and massaging into lips.
