At home foot scrub- Sugar and baby oil.
You can also use other oils but most Momma’s have baby oil on hand. Let
your feet soak in warm water, scrub your feet with your oil and sugar mixture,
let soak again, then pat dry and apply your favorite lotion.
Moisturizing for your lips and hair mask- Coconut oil
I have something for you to try!
I found that applying a very small amount of coconut oil to my lips has worked
wonders! My lips are so incredibly soft and smooth. Good-bye chapstick! I also
found that applying a small amount the ends of my hair really helped restore
and soften my ends. I usually do this the night before and leave it on overnight,
shampoo in the morning, as your hair will look greasy, but doing this has shown
great results!
Another friend told me that she used baby oil as a makeup remover.
Maybe I am the last person to hear about this but I only wish I would have
heard of this sooner! I applied baby oil to a facial pad and removed my face
make up and used a separate pad for my eyes. Easy, inexpensive, and it works!
And if you have a little afternoon to yourself, here are some other great
spa- like treatments you can do at home from glamour.com

Soften hands (while watching TV!)
Combine a few spoonfuls of cold cream, two drops of tea tree
oil, five drops of lavender oil, a spoonful of olive oil and a banana (for a
fruity smell) in a blender. When the consistency is smooth, slather liberally
all over hands and cuticles. Then slip hands into a pair of yellow rubber
gloves—yes, the kind you use to scrub the tub with. For the softest hands ever,
I like to sit down and watch TV with my lotioned and gloved hands underneath a
heating pad so that the heat will help my homemade salve penetrate my skin that
much more.” India-Jewel

Turn
your shower into a sauna
“Just turn your shower on and run it at its hottest
temperature for about 20 minutes. While the water is running and the steam is
building, take a warm washcloth and spray with your favorite relaxing oil.
(Lavender, vanilla or rosemary are all great de-stressing aromas.) When you
step into your shower, put the washcloth up to your face and take a deep breath
of your soothing, oil-scented steam. It’s a great way to unwind right before
bed—and it also helps clear up sinuses.” Aly

Heat
things up
“Before jumping into the shower, stash your daily body
lotion on top of a radiator or heating vent so it’s warmed up when you rub it
on. I tell you, there is nothing better than getting out of a hot shower and
rubbing on the heated, soothing lotion. Just be aware that your lotion will get
much more liquidy when it’s warm, so it might rush out of its container
faster.” Petra

Stop
and smell the rose (water)
“To save some money, make your own rose-water toner,
which has great astringent properties. Here’s my recipe: For every one firmly
packed cup of rose petals, pour two cups of boiling water over the top. Cover
and steep until the liquid is cool. Strain, squeeze out the liquid from the
petals and refrigerate the rose water in a sterilized jar between use.” Lianne Farbes,TheMakeUpGirl
