How do you make spa products using things around the house?

Posted by on . 3 comments.


I am extremely bored as I have had 6 weeks off school so I decided to do a sorta spa thing and pamper myself. How can I make some products such as face masks cuz I haven't got any in the house? Also, has anyone got some ideas to get rid of boredom in other ways?

    My skin is usually dry but during the summer my t-zone gets oily, so I mix half a teaspoon of baking soda with my moisturizing cleanser to open my pores for a deeper clean.

    Some good moisturizing masks are a mashed avocado, a teaspoon of tumeric powder mixed in half a cup of plain yogurt, or a honey mask. Honey mixed with brown sugar is good for exfoliation.

    A moisturizing body scrub is 1 pt white sugar, 1 pt vegetable oil, a dash of skin smoothing lotion or aloe vera gel, and any essential oil you have to make it smell good (lavender is calming, my fave).

    Tea bags (caffeinated) or cucumbers reduce puffiness and circles around the eyes.

    And I know people who swear by using mayo on dry hair, letting it sit for a few minutes and then rinsing it out. It’s supposed to add a ton of shine and moisturize well- most of my friends just do from their ears down though (to avoid want a greasy scalp).

    When I get bored I like to give myself an awesome pedicure. I soak my feet in warm water with bubble bath, use a pumice on them, the works. It makes me feel better and takes a long time. And don’t worry, school’s about to start back up. You’ll be busy again in no time!
