Spa-aaaah Day at Home


We decided that it would be fun and relaxing to have a spa day, where we made all our own spa products!



We made...
  • honey and sugar lip scrub

  • an avocado and oatmeal face mask (We don't recommend this one! Kind of messy!)

  • a sea salt foot scrub with vitamin E oil and lavendar essential oil

  • cucumber eye mask

  • a foamy face scrub



The picture below shows most of the things you'll need to make these products.




We had a lot of fun making these products! Here are two of our favorite recipies for your own at-home spa!

Honey Sugar Lip Scrub

In a small, airtight container, combine:


  • 2 tsp petroleum jelly (Vaseline)

  • 2 Tsp white sugar

  • 1 BIG squirt of honey

Mix well and apply to lips. Rub lips together and resist the urge to eat the scrub (Siena thinks a small taste won't hurt!). Wipe off with wet cloth.


Sea Salt Foot Scrub (also makes a great foot soak!)

In a medium bowl, mix together:

  • 1/3 cup sea salt
  • 2-4 drops lavendar essential oil
  • 1 tablespoon vitamin E oil
Mix together. Now mix it some more. Apply to feet and scrub with hands, a pumice stone, or loofah. Leave on for about to minutes while scubbing. Rinse feet with warm water until no salt grains remain. Do not eat this one!


Enjoy!
