Centsible Spa Treatments

Here are some fun and frugal items to use for a Pamper-Yourself Day!


Baking Soda Cleanser::

1-2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup water

Directions:
Mix baking soda and water together to form paste.
Apply liberally to face and neck area. Leave on for 10-15
minutes and then gently wash off with warm water and washcloth.
This helps to minimize the appearance of large pores and is a gentle exfoliant as well.


Oatmeal Nourishing Mask::

Handful of uncooked oatmeal
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

Directions: Mix ingredients together, warm slightly and apply to face and neck. Let sit for 10-15 minutes ( or until face feels tighter) and then rinse with warm water.
Oatmeal provides a gentle, skin brightening exfoliant. Olive oil helps rejuvenate dry skin .
The honey serves as a natural, rich, skin-nourishing crème.

Lemon-Egg Pore Opener::

Make a paste of one egg white and few drops of lemon juice.
Apply it over nose with soft brush (or washcloth). When the
first coat is about to dry, put another coat over the top of it.
Let these dry completely and then rinse off.
Use this to awaken and cleanse pores on your nose!

Olive Oil Face Pack::

A few drops of olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons of milk

Directions:
Blend ingredients well and apply to face and neck. Let sit
For 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with cold water. For optimum hydration, apply small amount of olive oil to skin before applying face pack. This helps skin retain moisture after pack is removed.
This luxurious face pack will hydrate dry skin.

Stressed Out Skin Cucumber -Tomato Soak::

Slice cucumber and tomato into thin slices. Put into freezer for 7-10 minutes and wash face while waiting for slices to chill. Lie down and place moist, chilled slices on your face and neck being careful to overlap slices. Relax for 10-15 minutes.
Cucumber contains natural astringent which helps to awaken tired and sagging skin. Tomato is slightly acidic and helps to close pores which helps prevent blackheads and breakouts.

Butter Lip Exfoliant::

Gently exfoliate lips by applying fresh butter on them and use a wet wash cloth to sweep off dry flakes. Follow up with warm olive oil application.

Avocado Under-Eye Circle Diminisher::

Placing slices of oil-rich avocado under your eyes will help to lessen the impact of dark circles.
Studies have shown that under-eye circles are not caused by a lack of sleep, but rather c congestion of the nasal cavities!

Coconut Oil Under-Eye Crème::

Use coconut oil to hydrate delicate skin around the eyes as well as reduce dark circles!

Tea Soak for Tired Eyes::

Brew tea, remove tea bags and refrigerate for half an hour. Place refrigerated tea bags on eyes for 10 minutes.
Tannic acid in the tea helps to soothe fatigued eyes and skin surrounding the eyes.

Lemon Juice Teeth Whitener::

Rub half a lemon with table salt and a pinch of baking soda will brighten and whiten your smile, as well as ward off bad breath!
This one is a lot of fun to do...if you try it, you'll see what I mean :)

Sugar Exfoliant for Hands and Feet::

Mix sugar with olive oil and gently rub over hands and feet.

Epsom Salt Foot Soak::

½ cup of Epsom salt
1 tablespoon baking soda

Directions:
In large pan of warm water, mix ingredients and soak feet for 15 minutes.
Epsom salts help to draw toxins out of tired muscles and skin. The baking soda will gently exfoliate the foot.

Epsom Salt Scrub::

After soaking feet and calves, exfoliate with Epsom salts on the moistened skin.

Coconut Oil Moisture Rub for Calves and Feet::

Liberally apply coconut oil to calves and feet and massage into skin for 10-15 minutes a day. Do this at night and then place socks over your feet to help skin absorb the nourishing oil.
