96

While visiting a salon can cost you a fortune, especially when you are seeking a spa, there are several easy and cost-effective ways to get a head to toe spa at home itself. And since every spa requires a mask, I offer you individual recipes of spa masks you can DIY.

Go through them and do your own beauty treatment at home! You would be surprised to see how there is an array of natural ingredients available in your kitchen.

Brown sugar body scrub for body

Things you’ll need –

1. Brown sugar – 1 cup
2. Sea salt – 1/2 cup
3. Coconut oil/olive oil – 2 tbspns
4. Honey – 1 tbspn
5. Lemon juice – 2 tbspns
6. Essential oil – 1 tbspn (You can go for lavender or jasmine as they are relaxing apart from rendering a sweet smell)

Brown sugar when mixed with lemon juice, the scrub works as a natural exfoliating agent. The sugar granules help open clogged pores, and lemon removes dirt and dead skin cells, while honey and oil enable smoothness and moisture to the skin, thereby making it look glow and soft.

How to apply

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl so as to form a paste
2. Prep your body by making it damp
3. Apply the scrub on the body and gently rub it in a circular motion using your finger tips
4. You can also use a good quality loofah or pumice stone when it comes to rubbing on hands and legs. Do not use pumice stone on the areas where skin is tender say on thighs, neck and inner areas of thigh
5. Now rinse it off with warm water and take a shower
6. Apply your regular moisturizer as soon as you come out of shower so as to prevent your skin from drying. Plus, when moisturizer is applied over damp skin, it gets absorbed faster.
