DIY Spa Day

Face Time. Mix up an Oatmeal and Honey Face Mask (see this recipe from Somewhat Simple) and your skin will be soft and smooth via simple, at-home ingredients. Or, try an edible “mud” mask, with the following recipe. Mix well in a blender, apply to clean, dry skin, and let sit for 20 minutes.

• 2-3 Tbsp. Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp. cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. buttermilk
• 1/4-1/2 of a banana, mashed
• 1 tsp. honey
• 1 tsp. lemon juice

Not into the homemade goods? Try Tata Harper’s Daily Essentials Kit for a beauty pick-me-up if you’re short on time.

Body Treatments. Coconut oil is a one-stop-shop ingredient for a DIY spa day. Mix a few drops of lavender essential oil with coconut oil, and after a relaxing bath you’ve got the ideal hydration station for your skin. If your feet need some love, pick a favorite foot soak scrub and pretend you’re at the nail salon.

Happy Hair. If you haven’t yet heard of the Apple Cider Vinegar’s superpowers, next time you’re at the grocery store, pick some up. Not only has it been said that Jennifer Aniston swears by this daily wellness tonic, but it’s also used as the base for a scalp scrub to help remove dirt, oils, and build-up from hair product. How to make it? Try this simple ACV Scalp Scrub recipe, from Hello Glow:

• ¼ cup Himalayan pink salt, lightly ground
• 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp. Manuka honey (or raw honey)
• 15 drops grapefruit essential oil (or other preferred oil)

Man Scape. Men, a DIY Spa Day is not just for the ladies. Up your game with some new shaving and body products from Jack Black, or simply take time for an Epsom Salt soak. Those tired muscles from the day’s workout will be happy in no time.
