Glowing with Guava: DIY Beauty Hacks by Mukama Botanica

Guava season on Maui is poppin’ all September long, and we’re all about using this tropical fruit for more than just snacking. Guava is the secret sauce behind local eco-luxury skincare line, Mukama Botanica's Skin Superfood Serum and was even featured in Vogue. Ready to glow up? The opportunity is all around us! Literally dripping from the trees.

Here’s how to bring the guava goodness into your wellness and beauty routine:

1. Guava Glow Mask

Mash a guava and slather it on. Simple as that. Chill for 15, then rinse for glowy skin.

2. Sip & Shine Smoothie

Blend 1 cup of coconut milk, 2 guavas, 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 2 frozen apple bananas, and a handful of spinach. Sip for radiant skin from the inside out (antioxidants and protein do it wonders).

3. Sweet Scrub

Mix guava pulp from one guava (seeds are great too!), sugar, and coconut oil to desired consistency. Scrub gently on your body for smooth, glowing skin.

4. Leaf Love Tea

Boil guava leaves, strain, sip the tea, and enjoy the immunity-boosting and digestive benefits.

5. Fresh Scalp Rinse

Steep leaves, cool, and rinse your head with it for a healthy scalp due to the antibacterial and antifungal properties!
