Our Favorite At Home Pampering Recipes

"The best products for your skin aren't always bought at the store. Try out my tried & true at home recipes below some Spring pampering that will make you come back for more!"

My Lemon/Sugar/Olive Oil/Ginger Body scrub: Mix 2 cups of brown sugar with 1 cup of olive oil and add a small amount of fresh ground ginger and 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Mix well & transfer into a mason jar Using circular motions, rub your entire body, paying special attention to elbows, heels, and knees. Rinse with a body wash and wet washcloth and towel dry. I keep a small jar of this on my sink to help combat my super dry hands. The result: Softer, suppler, and less dry skin.

Milk and Honey Foot Treatment: Pour 2 cups of milk per one cup of honey into a basin large enough to hold both feet. Soak for 15 minutes, lightly massaging the mixture into skin. Results: Softer, smoother skin without harsh exfoliation. You can also use the milk/honey combo to soak elbows or hands, or pat gently onto the face and massage in. Always rinse with tepid water.

Egg White and Citrus Face Masque: (normal to oily skin) -- Mix 2 raw egg whites with 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice. Apply to skin and let rest for 15 minutes until dry. Rinse well with warm water. The result: Tighter pores and a brighter, less dull complexion.

Oatmeal Face Masque: (sensitive skin) -- Mix oatmeal with boiling water according to package instructions. Let cool, then apply to skin and let rest for 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. The result: A radiant, moisturized glow.
