At-home spa treatment experiences are a fantastic way to save money as most of the items are already sitting in your pantry or refrigerator.
Here are simple recipes for three at-home treatments and two herbal refreshers:
1. Papaya pineapple exfoliating masque
2 Chunks Fresh Pineapple
1 Ripe Papaya
½ tsp. Honey
Mash together pineapple (cut into 1/2 inch squares), ¼ papaya and ½ teaspoon of honey. Apply to skin and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water and follow with your favorite moisturizer.
2. Sweet summer skin smoother
1 Ripe, Organic Mango
1 tbsp. Honey
½ tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Sugar in the Raw
Mash up ½ mango with a fork until smooth. Stir in honey and olive oil until blended. Add sugar. While in the shower, massage mixture onto dry skin including the neck and face. Allow the masque to remain on the body for several minutes to smooth and soften the skin. Rinse off with warm water and lightly dry the skin. For added moisture, follow with your favorite body and face moisturizers.
3. Lime exfoliation
1 Lime
Cut a lime in half. While in the shower, though before your skin is wet, massage the arms, stomach, chest and neck with half of the lime. Use the second half for the remaining part of the body. Leave on the skin for a few minutes while enjoying the steam and then rinse. Lightly dry the skin and apply your favorite body moisturizer.
