[via Goop]

This week Gwyneth Paltrow’s web project, GOOP, is chock full of great at home skin treatments and other look great quickly tips. Unfortunately, at the time of this posting, the website is not updated with this week’s newsletter yet. I don’t usually do this but here’s a snippet of what arrived in my inbox this morning…I hope Gwyneth doesn’t mind the reprint:

At-Home Treatments:

Detox Bath
I love Epsom salt baths to detox, revive muscles and de-puff skin. While in the bath, I use an exfoliating mitt (the kind used in Korean bath houses – you can get them at beauty supply stores, Asian markets or health food stores). The exfoliation stimulates skin and leaves it soft and bump-free. After the bath, I slather my skin with extra virgin organic coconut oil. It is sold in jars at health food stores and literally melts on your skin.

Body Scrub
1) Mix Turbinado sugar, olive oil and coursely ground coffee to soften and cleanse pores.

2) Oatmeal and honey also work as a scrub to soften skin.

3) Aloe vera juice will reduce the redness of razor burn, irritations and some rashes.

Hopefully, the full post will be up in a couple of hours…
