FACIAL HOME SPA TREATMENT & MASSAGE

Spa treatments aren’t just for those who have money to burn and want to be pampered. Many of the treatments you can get at a spa are actually full of benefits to promote health and healing. Just because you can’t afford to go to the spa doesn’t mean you have to miss out on these healthy treatments. Below, you will find some great spa treatments you can do at home and that will cost you very little money.
From head to toe, these recipes and suggestions will have you feeling and looking great.
-Cleansing: First, start any DIY spa treatment with squeaky clean skin. Use a gentle cleanser, not soap, with warm water. Cleansers with a soy base are less irritating to the skin.

-Try some Facial Steaming: Facial steaming can be as simple as heating up water in a large bowl in the microwave or on the stove, draping a towel over your head and letting your skin absorb the steam for 5 minutes. For a rejuvenating steam add green tea and some herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or mint to the water. Facial steamers will open up the pores providing a deep cleansing by steaming out embedded dirt, as well as hydrates the skin.
Toning: Tone skin with a stimulating toner rich in emollients and antioxidants.
Facial Masks: Once a week, give yourself a skin enriching treatment with a moisturizing and hydrating facial mask. There are several OTC options or you can make your own mask using common ingredients such as avocado, banana, or aloe mixed with freshly squeezed citrus juice and a drizzle of olive or nut oil.
Facial Peel: Once a week, try a stimulating facial peel with an OTC product that contains an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) or beta hydroxyl acid (BHA). You can also easily make your own using any fruit acid such as fresh grapefruit juice, add a few crushed plain aspirin, and one half packet of unflavored gelatin into one egg white stiffly whipped.
Do a Facial Wraps: A simple facial wrap can be achieved with soaking nori seaweed in warm vitamin water until soft and applying it on the skin for 15 minutes.

Moisturize: After completing a DIY spa treatment with a moisturizer that is rich in emollients as well as a strong antioxidant as an active ingredient such as vitamin C or copper peptides. Hyaluronic acid, retinol, DMAE, and alpha lipoic acid are also excellent ingredients to look for in a moisturizing skin care treatment.
Use Sunscreen: Last but not least always use sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damaging UV radiation or all your efforts on DIY spa treatments will simply be undone by overexposure to the sun.
Trying out home spa ideas can help a great deal in rejuvenating you and that too without spending loads of money. For a home spa massage, you don't really require any special equipment like massage table. All you need is to use your creative imagination, to set the mood for relaxation.
