Next was the presentation of the second material by Suhermi, S.Kep., Ns., M.Kes. about improving physical health with a Moringa leaf mask. Apart from being used as a vegetable, Moringa leaves are rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A, C and E as well as other important nutrients which are very good for skin care. The benefits of Moringa leaves for the face include: (1) Natural anti-aging, (2) Treats acne, (3) Brightens the skin, (4) Removes blemishes and black spots, and (5) Moisturizes the skin.

One of the participants explained that "So far I have only used Moringa leaves for vegetables, it turns out they can also have other benefits. If you are stressed, you can divert it by making a Moringa mask," said Mrs. Jen

During the material presentation session, participants were active in asking questions. The hope is that after this service activity, the Tonasa village community, especially housewives, can apply the material taught in their daily lives. It is also hoped that housewives in Tonasa village will not only have a healthy physique but also a strong soul.
