Do It Yourself Spa Treatments
These DIY spa treatments come from Rachael Ray . . . one of my favorite websites to browse at least once a week.
What you need: 2 bags of chamomile tea and a cotton ball
Instructions: Place the tea bags in a cup and add boiling water. Allow to cool until just warm. Soak the cotton ball in the tea and blot all over your face until skin is cool and damp. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse.
My variation . . . used tea bags go into the freezer to reduce eye puffiness when needed. Works wonders for tired eyes too.
What you need: 2 tablespoons each of oats, cornmeal, evaporated milk and honey
Instructions: Grind the oats in a coffee grinder, transfer to a bowl and add the cornmeal, evaporated milk and honey. Apply the mixture all over, scrubbing gently in rough spots. Use once a week.
What you need: one clean tube sock, 6 cups of white rice and a handful of cloves (optional)
Instructions: Combine the rice and cloves (if using); fill the sock with the mixture. Tie a knot on the sock's open end. Heat on high in the microwave for 2-4 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to shake the sock and check the temperature. Once the pillow is warm—but not too hot—drape it over the back of your neck.
I have a variation of this neck pillow . . . it is a salt bag made with a cotton fabric bag filled with salt . . . heat in the microwave. Make it in the size you desire . . . mine is 6" long and 4" wide. It is the perfect size to drape over the sinus area to quickly get rid of a sinus or tension headache.
