There are two at home spa treatments that every woman or man—everyone can use a little pampering—can use and enjoy: the aromatic milk bath and the coffee body scrub. Since the products a person wears, makeup, lotion or cologne all absorb through the skin, as a general rule, they should not be applied if the wearer would not eat them. So the milk bath, and the coffee scrub are designed to hydrate, heal and moisten the skin while soothing the senses with no indigestible ingredients.
The aromatic milk bath is easy to prepare and makes for smooth healthy skin, and helps heal skin that has been made sensitive through sun exposure or from harsh permanent hair removal methods. The preparer will need an egg, a half cup of olive oil, a tablespoon of glycerin, a half cup of powdered milk, a drop of jasmine oil, six drops of lavender oil and two cups of distilled water. To make the solution, mix all the ingredients together with a mixer (only on the slowest power setting) adding the water last. Let the water pour in slowly so the solution mixes evenly. After the mixture has thickened add it immediately to a drawn hot bath, stirring it in slowly. The aromas invigorate the nose and the mixture leaves the skin feeling soft and tight.
The coffee scrub can be done more quickly for those on the run who want a quick rejuvenating at home spa treatment. Using the cheapest coffee beans is desirable for this treatment since the flavor does not matter and the necessary two cups can be relatively expensive. In addition to the coffee the preparer will need a half-cup of sea salt and 2-3 T of massage oil. Mix the ingredients together by hand; set a container with the product on a shelf in the shower where it will not get diluted and take a hot shower to exfoliate the skin. Turn the shower off and take handfuls of the mixture applying it to the surface of the skin with firm circular motion. Scrub the entire body and rinse off with hot water for a pleasant wake up and rejuvenation shower.
These spa treatments will leave your skin tight, smooth, and flawless, and if you’re going out for the evening, your makeup should apply as smoothly as airbrush makeup. Take the time to treat yourself and look stunning!
