HYDRATE

MOISTURIZE

Keep moisturizer light. Use one with a good emollient. Skip the scents as your skin may react to them, advises Dr. Johanna Pauline Lazo-Dizon, dermatologist at Asian Hospital and Medical Center.

An alternative is to use fractionated coconut oil mixed with therapeutic grade essential oil, says Samantha Morales, a registered and licensed Nutritionist-Dietitian.

EXFOLIATE

As part of your preparations, exfoliate your skin by making your own coffee scrub at home. Simply mix ground coffee, pure essential oils, coconut oil and coconut sugar. Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells that makes our skin look more radiant and rejuvenated.
