Home Beauty Treatments

You don’t need to spend a great deal of money going to a spa when you can easily reduce the cost on skin care products you can use for home beauty treatments.  

Here are some suggestions.

Homemade Facial: 

Cleanse the skin with a mild cleanser;

Exfoliate the skin with an exfoliating scrub, and then rinse.  You can prepare an exfoliating scrub by taking two tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of warm water.  Apply to face and gently message the skin.  Rinse with a face cloth dipped in warm water. 

Use a homemade mask by using the following ingredients:  1 tablespoon regular plain yogurt and one teaspoon of honey.  Place in microwave until softened.  Combine ingredients and apply to face.  Leave it on for 15 minutes.  Take a facecloth that has been dipped in warm water and gently wash face.

Moisturize your face by applying a gentle cream.

Home Manicure:

Use nail polish remover to get rid of old polish.

Take a sturdy thick nail file and begin filing down the nails uniformly.

Take a bowl and fill it with liquid soap and hot water.  Place one hand at a time in the bowl until the cuticles are softened.

If you have cuticle cream, apply it to the cuticles; if not, take a wood stick and push back the cuticles gently.

Take the cuticle implement and gently remove excess skin from the cuticles.

Apply a warm to hot towel to each hand.

Take hand cream and gently massage each hand; palms up first, then the entire hand.

Apply one coat of clear polish followed by two coats of your favorite color and another coat of clear polish.

Let polish dry completely.

Home Pedicure: 

This is one of the most relaxing home beauty treatments of all!

Take a foot tub or similar and fill it with warm water.  Add either Epsom salt or your favorite oil such as lavender, rose, or chamomile.

Follow the same routine as the home manicure to remove dead cuticles.

To remove dead skin cells, use a pumice stone and apply it to the heels and ball of the feet.

Utilize the same procedure to exfoliate the skin.

Apply a moisturizer to the feet and the lower legs as well.

Proceed to last step by applying a base coat, polish, a top coat and let dry.

Home beauty treatments will give you the opportunity to indulge and pamper yourself for as long as you like.  Moreover, these treatments are meant to alleviate stress, leave your skin feeling smooth and silky, and feel like you are walking on air.  It is not only affordable, but the end result is worth the time spent.
