Ancient beauty treatment, Tui Tui, Kingdom of Tonga

🌸🌸TONGAN BEAUTY TREATMENT 🌸🌸
In Tonga, the meat of the candlenut is chewed together with fragrant cinnamon leaves until it is soft and then it is applied to the skin.

The mixture works as a mild abrasive, scrubbing dirt and other debris from the skin and leaving the skin soft, clean and smelling good!

This ancient skin treatment is unbelievable and really works! My skin was left soft, clean and smelling lovely!

Scientific studies have actually verified their effectiveness. Candlenut oil contains essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) that are vital to healthy skin metabolism, provides light moisture and gently lift debris from delicate, dry skin. The precious oil from the candlenut (57-80 percent) has also been reported to contain vitamins A, E and F that are good for skin health and for healing wounds.

Here the lovely Eunice (one of our brilliant tour guides) showing me how it’s done and fixing the peeling on my back from sunburn!

Obviously these Tongan ladies are onto something here, they all have beautiful skin!
