What are the best "at home" spa fixes you can think of?

Oct 24, 2006 by patsy36ss | Posted in Other - Skin & Body

So I want to have a day of pampering myself without the cost of a hoity-toity spa. What are some spa like remedies that I could do at home?

Slather your hands and feet with lotion and put on gloves and socks while you wait for a mask and deep conditioner to set. You'll be so soft and smooth. Overnight is good too.

What are some good at home spa treatments?
Im pms sooo bad, and I just feel crappy. I need to give myself a spa... but what kind and what kind of stuff should I do?

One good homemade mask recipe:
1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 2 tbsp. honey & a bit of ground oatmeal. Apply a layer & leave it on for 10 mins. Rinse off w/ tepid water.

Yogurt - loosens dead skin cells
Honey - humectant w/ anti-bacterial properties
Oatmeal - optional; soothes & helps remove dry skin

Other face mask recipes for oily skin are: crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask.

Mix 6 aspirin tablets with a little aloe to make a mask.

Use about 6 uncoated tablets, witch hazel, tee trea oil, and aloe to make a thin paste.

For toner:
8 ounce bottle of distilled water add four uncoated aspirin
or
mix of 1/2 water, 1/2 witch hazel, 15 aspirin, and 2 drops of tea tree essential oil and 2 drops of rosemary essential oil

Another nice thing to do is to give yourself a manicure & just buff your nails. Then massage your hands w/ lotion & apply vitamin E oil to your nails. http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-file-and-buff-your-nails

there is going to be a home spa at my house, and i need you help!?

Jul 21, 2007 by Sara. | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

at my house we are building a home spa. and i get to do most of the decorating. what should i put in the spa. like what kind of things?

Naturally it depends on what kind of decorating you like to do and what type of budget you have if any. I couldn't help myself and had to mention this first... If money were no option (which would be the fun part!) then you could do just about anything naturally....this may or may not suit you but I'm thinking outside the "box" for something different...you could have a koi fish pond in the floor and an arched walkway over it leading to your spa. (Yep, I'm thinking indoors or out with this idea!) I would add some plants with this type of decor and maybe even have like an indoor garden and seating area.
Now, coming down to the reality of most budgets.... It would be nice to have an open shower (big enough for two)...and of course you'll need a special robe, matching slippers and a soft Turkish towels ready for the oooh and aaah feeling after this spectacular spa treatment! A seating area with a table and a mini bar would be a great addition to enjoy a cool drink to add to this whole experience. If you like to read why not add a built in bookshelf as well? Or have one that hangs on the wall. You can get as comfy or as elaborate as you like. It's the whole experience... your own private getaway. Not just a spa sitting in your home! Plants would be the final touches here and there.
You could even add a fireplace near the sitting area when the cooler season approaches.
I could get into more details but I hope to have tickled your decorating taste buds!
Hope this helps!

how do you give yourself the at home spa treatment?

Mar 22, 2008 by xx TwiLiight~Freak xx | Posted in Other - Skin & Body

like what ingredients do you need for face mask, relaxation anything else you can do at home?

Avocado is great for moisturizing the face for a mask.
Also, you can put milk and very strong chamomile tea in your bath and your choice of lavender, rose, or even some vanilla in order to make your bath seem luxurious.
A few other things you can do is get your most comfortable (and cute) outfit out and warm it with an iron and set it out for when you get out of your bath.

at home spa recipes?

Jun 08, 2008 by meghannnnn! | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

i want some at home spa recipes that actually work, and dont use things that are uncommon in the household.
i have oatmeal, salt, sugar. i dont really know what all you use in the recipes, so yeah. and i would like the actual recipes, not the links to sites. thanks :]

Here's a few that I found for you:

Cinnamon Oatmeal Milk Bath

1 cup cornstarch
2 cups powdered milk
1/2 cup oatmeal (not instant)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all ingredients in blender or food processor until it is a fine powder.
Add about 2 Tbs mixture to your bathwater for a soothing bath.
______________________________________________

Spa Sea Salt Scrub

2 cups sea salt
1 1/3 cups aloe vera baby oil or soya oil
8 vitamin E, capsules
2 tablespoons honey

Combine all ingredients in an airtight container.
Break open the vitamin E capsules and squeeze out the vitamin E into the mixture.
Mix well.
Add a bit to your hand or a bath mitt and rub all over.
Rinse off well.
*If you are going to use soybean oil, then you may or may not want to add a bit of essential oils for frangrance.*.
*You can play around with the ingredients, to make the mixture more gritty or less gritty.
______________________________________________

Relaxation - Spa Quality Bath Salts

1 cup dead sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons dendritic salt
15 drops english lavender oil
10 drops chamomile essential oils

Add Lavender and Chamomile Essential Oils to Dendritic salt and mix well. Dendritic salt holds scent better and longer and also helps to prevent clumping.
Once mixed well, combine with Dead Sea Salt and mix well once more.
Begin filling tub with WARM - NOT HOT water. Add up to 1 cup of Bath Salts Mixture and let dissolve while filling tub.
For maximum benefit, soak at least 15 minutes to allow the body to absorb the therapeutic minerals and oils. I have myofascial pain and fibromyalgia and this helps when my back and legs are giving me fits. It works best if you splurge a little and purchase good qualty ingredients, but also works with the cheaper supplies.

3. Take a bubble bath or a streaming hot shower
4. Leave streaming shower on (creating a sauna)
5. Wash face with facial scrub then put on face mask

7. Then take off face wash and blow dry hair
8. put on cute outfit and style hair
9. Put on make up
10. Yeah! I feel relaxed

I want to have a at home spa birthday party for my daughter, any ideas on what I should do?

Oct 18, 2007 by nmzito | Posted in Toddler & Preschooler

She's turning 5, we're inviting 4 other little girls around her age and I know girls love to play dress up. I was looking for some kid friendly "spa" treatments.

OHHHHHH - when my daughter turned 7 we had a spa party and it was awesome!!! We had 3 “stations” - one was the facial station where you got washed, massaged and your choice of a mask applied, 2nd station was the manicure station where you had your hands soaked then massaged and your choice nail polish (when then they got to keep), lastly we had a pedicure station where we had 3 of those pedicure feet bath things - they soaked for 5 min and then got polish applied after a mini massage.
I had 2 of my friends come over so each of us to run a station so the girls didn’t have to wait around to have stuff done. After the girls were all relaxed and done with their treatments they popped in a movie and cuddled up with blankets and sleeping bags. After the movie the ones that were still awake talked til the fell asleep.
We gave out gift purses with their nail polish, a mini bottle of water, the headband that kept their hair back while the facial and a CD that my daughter made with all their favorite songs.

It was a little more expensive but worth it cuz we all had a great time.
