Don't you just love the feel that spa products give you? Like scrubs, masques, lotions, waxes and oils ? I know I do. Unfortunately, I can't always afford to go to the spa for these luxuries. So, I found some products that give me the same effects, but I can use them at my home!
The Scrub
This is a great sugar scrub. I use it before, during, and after shaving to exfoliate my skin. Because it doesn't contain salt, it won't irritate just shaven skin. It's formula contains shea which moisturizes the skin, and it's sugar exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells. After using this scrub, your skin will look and feel baby smooth. This sugar scrub comes in various scents, but my favorite is the coconut lime. It contains natural coconut and lime extracts that scent the skin with a great tropical fragrance. You can buy this product at any drugstore. I found it at Wal*Mart, and it was inexpensive. A little goes a long way.
The Masque
This is a fantastic masque, and one of my favorites. It works well to tighten skin, shrink pores, clear blemishes, and even help tone skin. You can use this product as often as you like, which is great because it won't dry out your skin. The mint in this masque is not too strong, but will tingle a bit if you're not used to using it. I have also used this masque to soften the heels of my feet. I simply swiped some on, and then wrapped my feet with plastic wrap, and sleep on some socks before bed. The next morning I unwrapped my feet, and rinsed the masque off. It worked well to keep my feet soft. You may buy this product practically anywhere that you can buy beauty products. Such as CVS, Wal*Mart, or like I did: Dollar General. This product is basically a steal for how inexpensive it is!
The Lotion/Body Butter
This body butter is simply fantastic. Goes on smooth, and is absorbed into skin well. It has a (as the name suggests) butter like texture to it. It leaves skin soft, and extremely moisturized. It works great on dry spots such as heels, elbows, and knees. Once you use this product, I'm sure you will fall in love with your baby smooth skin. It comes in many scents, but I'm quite partial to the Cherry Blossom and the Japanese Cherry Blossom myself. You can find this in stores, or at www.bathandbodyworks.com. It's a little more expensive than the other products, but well worth it. It will last you quite a while.
The Wax
These wax strips are awesome! They remove hair from face and body, and don't irritate the skin. Simply: gentle and effective. I know, I know..."how can a wax strip be gentle?" Well, with these wax strips you don't have to worry about burns from the wax. The genius design of these strips, makes them perfect for at home or on the go use, as to use them you simply rub them between the hands to warm them up, then apply to the desired area that you want hair to be removed, and pull off. They work fantastically. I use them for my eyebrows, and above my lip for well that embarrassing unwanted hair. The strips come in two different packages: one for body, and one for face. You can purchase these at any drugstore. I found them at Wal*Mart for about $8 I believe. Another great thing about this product, is say if you buy the ones for body and they are too big, all you have to do is use scissors to cut them down to the desired size and shape.
The Oil
This is my favorite oil of all time! It is a dry oil, which means it dries fast, and doesn't mean it will leave an oily residue on skin. This oil works fantastically to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, and aging skin. So, it's simply a MUST buy! It also moisturizes skin very very well. (Have I stressed how awesome this oil is yet?) It's a very gentle based product, and won't clog pores so you can seriously use it from head-to-toe! Plus, the cocoa butter scent is heavenly. I HIGHLY recommend this product. A little bit of a stretch on the wallet, but honestly for an oil this good it's inexpensive. Around like $9. It lasts a long time, and like I've said many times before...SO WORTH IT! You can purchase this product at any drugstore, I found it at Wal*Mart.
All these products are fairly priced, and well worth the buy. Once you use them, and love them, you'll feel like giving yourself a spa treatment everyday...from home!
Note: I did not mention other spa treatment products such as nail care in this post. I will be getting on that more in a later one. Keep with me for that.
So enjoy your life at an affordable price, and indulge your senses!
