There is so much stigma against perfection these days. Intelligent women, especially, are taught to loathe it. Like it’s not only unattainable, it’s downright dirty to even think about. But we owe every advancement of society to the belief that we are, in fact, perfectable. Every plea to humankind to ‘do better’ is a testament to the stronghold of conviction that we not only have the capacity to perfect ourselves, but that we are meant to.

Do you ever feel the need to just begin afresh, start anew? I do. All the time! That’s why this minimalist DIY body scrub is one of my favourites for ECO friendly self-care. I’m big on exfoliation. You should be too. It not only strips away dead skin cells (and helps to clean out pores), it also improves lymphatic drainage and allows you skin to breathe, meaning it can do its job eliminating and detoxifying the body better.

A good exfoliation routine can be game changer supporting healthy skin, but it can also be a major uplift on a day you just need to hit reset and get a fresh start!
