Home Spa Treatment: Heal Dry Hands With Heated Socks
Colder weather means dry skin, and for me, my hands and cuticles are the worst since I'm constantly washing my hands. Here's a soothing and inexpensive remedy you can treat yourself to at home. If you suffer from dry skin on your feet, you can use this treatment on your tootsies too.
Home Spa Treatment: Henna Your Hair
Since I have dark hair, lemon juice doesn't do a thing to add natural highlights to my hair. I've even experimented with cranberry juice, but I never really noticed much of a difference. Many years ago a friend turned me on to using henna.
Home Spa Treatment: Salt Foot Scrub
Are your feet just plain sick of pulling on and off those heavy winter boots? Are your dogs tired of being stuffed into dark shoes? Are your feet calloused from hibernating in heavy socks?
Home Spa Treatment: Deep Pore Cleansing
Generally the starlets begin their red carpet beauty regimen about a week before the Oscars. Treatments like "extractions", an esthetician squeezing out black heads, can leave the skin looking a little bruised, red and irritated. While extractions are ultimately good for the skin, the short term effects can resemble unwanted blemishes.
Home Spa Treatment: Brown Sugar Body Scrub
I have written about the joys of sugar scrubs before, but here is a recipe to make your own.
Mix in a plastic bowl:
½ cup of raw turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
¼ cup of honey
Add 3-4 drops of essential oil if you have some around.
Use scrub all over your body once you are in the shower.
Home Spa Treatment: Mango Toner to Treat Red Skin
It is winter and red skin seems overly abundant - the harsh cold and over drying heat can really thrash the tender flesh of your face.
Try this simple mango aloe toner to soothe your chapped or windburned cheeks.
You are going to need:
1 cup aloe vera gel, chilled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mango
1 lime, juiced
Puree the aloe vera gel, chopped mango, and the juice of one lime.
Relax Already: Homemade Avocado Masque for Dry Skin
I am always looking for spa treatments I can do in my home with ingredients found readily in my fridge. After a day of harsh weather on the mountain skiing or sitting in an over heated office, it is a great idea to treat yourself to a moisturizing masque. Feed your skin and relax your mind at the same time.
Relax Already: At Home Toner
I told you about an interesting use of lemon juice for the Master Cleaner, but if you are looking for an at home revitalization, how about making your own lemon facial spritzer.
All you need is:
1 lemon
1/2 tsp cold water
Mix the lemon juice and the water in a bowl. Pat on to your face after cleansing (or a refreshing facial) with a makeup remover pad.

At Home Spa Treatment: Papaya Mask
One great way to relax on the weekends is to pamper yourself with an at home spa treatment. Since alpha hydroxy is all the rage in skin care these days, why not use your own fruit to tap into the exfoliating powers of fruit acids? As my aesthetician says, "If you wouldn't want to eat it, don't put it on your face" since you can absorb chemicals through your skin.
Home Spa Treatment: Aloe and Olive Oil Shampoo
One of the ways I like to chill out on the weekends is to give myself a little home spa treatment. I like to find the ingredients for my masque or bubble bath in the cupboards of my kitchen. My aesthetician has said if you wouldn’t want to eat it you shouldn’t put it on your face, or your hair for that matter.
