So sometimes we all deserve some time to relax .. going to a spa may be a little expensive so these are some homemade spa treatments you can do at home to give your self that time alone to relax and give your self that spa treatment only maid at home ...
COFFEE BODY SCRUB
- 2 cups of coarsely ground coffee
- 1/2 cup raw sugar or sea salt
- 2-3 T massage oil
Mix all ingredients together. Take a hot shower to moisten your skin and open your pores. Using wide, circular motions, rub the coffee exfoliant onto your skin with strong, even pressure. Shower off, pat skin dry, and apply a thin layer of your favorite body lotion.
ALMOND BODY SCRUB -FOR THE END OF THE SUMMER a
So by the end of the summer sum of us are peeling from all the sun burns and need a body scrub for it so this almond body scrub will help your skin remove all that dry skin ..
- 2/3 cup ground almonds
- 1/3 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon of herbs (lavender, chamomile, etc) (optional)
- Plain yogurt, milk, or buttermilk, sufficient to make a paste
- Essential Oils for scent (optional)
Combine the dry ingredients in a blender or food processor until they are reduced to a coarse meal. Keep this “scrub base” in a glass jar with a screw top in your refrigerator until ready to use. When you want to use the scrub base, scoop out 1/4 cup into a small bowl, and stir in enough of the liquid ingredients (vary it by what you have on hand — yogurt and milk are best, but water works) to make a paste. Yogurt and milk are natural exfoliates known as alpha hydroxy acids, and they will slough off dead skin cells even without the scrub. Scoop up the paste with your hands or a washcloth, and rub over your body to exfoliate peeling skin. Rinse thoroughly.
BEACH SAND FOOT SCRUB
So i remember my mom telling me that SAND is a great way to use to remove dead skin from your feet .. i never thougth it was true but when i tried it on my feet WOW! it actually worked .
- 2 Tablespoons Canola oil
- 2 Tablespoons dry beach sand
- 3-5 drops rosemary oil
When going to the beach, take a small vial of ingredients with you: 2 tablespoons of canola oil (or use your suntan oil!), and, a small vial of rosemary oil — or premix and take one vial.
Once at the beach, use an empty container (a soda cup is fine) to mix the ingredients together. Mix into a paste. Massage sand scrub onto feet (and elbows), concentrating especially on problem areas. Rinse off in the foamy waves, pat dry with your beach towel.
