There is nothing better than feeling vibrant, energetic, and beautiful. Often times we use beauty products, facials, or other beauty services to get us closer to this feeling. But, those can be expensive! Not to mention that at certain places, the products they use aren’t really that great for your skin.
There are things that you can do at home that will make you feel like you are at the spa. And, this way you can apply exactly what you want. In this post I am going to give you a few ideas as to what you can do to give yourself the relaxing day you deserve.
Body Exfoliation
SALT SCRUB:
1/2 cup of organic sea salt
1/3 cup of organic raw sugar or 1/3 cup of organic cane sugar
1 cup of room temperature coconut oil {best when it has a liquid consistency}
30 drops of essential oil

SUGAR SCRUB:
1/2 cup of organic raw sugar or 1/2 cup of organic cane sugar
1/3 cup of organic sea salt
1 cup of coconut oil {best when it has a liquid consistency}
30 drops of essential oil
Try these while you are in the shower! Take your time, and gently exfoliate all of your body. This will leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed.
DIY Strawberry Face Mask
You need:
Strawberries
Plain yogurt
Lemon juice
Honey
A knife
A fork
Measuring cups and spoons
Step 1: Cut and mash the strawberries
Step 2: Add 1 tablespoon of honey
Step 3: Add 1 tablespoon yogurt
Step 4: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Spread on your face, put on some relaxing music, and enjoy!
DIY Spa Bath
The best part about a spa is the atmosphere. It smells amazing, is very relaxing, and gives you a sense of peace. You can make your bathroom feel like this too! Find some lavender scented candles, a bath salt of your choice, and bubble bath. Place the candles around the room, draw up your bubble bath, and turn on some relaxing music (I love the relaxation channel on Pandora). Put on your facemask, and allow yourself to relax!
