DIY Spa
after a tiring day in this city of Jakarta, i'm sure you'll need some relaxation to boost your energy to be ready-to-go by the next day. when you don't have the time to go to the REAL SPA, here are some DIY SPA recipes. Enjoy!!!
1. Shiny hair treatment
before you wash your hair, apply LIGHT OLIVE OIL to your scalp. leave for 20 to 60 minutes, and wash your hair as per normally. VOILA! silky shiny hair is yours!
2. Tired eyes
Drink your favorite camomile tea, and don't throw away the teabags! put it on your puffy eyes for 30 minutes! Experience the soothing effects.
3. Relax your muscles
put 4 to 5 spoonful of green tea leaves to a pail of boiling water (ideally 4 glasses of water). leave for 10 minutes. you can saperate the tea leaves or don't, and mix the tea water into bathtub. you can add some jasmine essential oil, or jasmine petals for fun. to double the fun, the green tea is not just high in its anti-oxidant and boost your immune system, but it also helps to minimize your pores and keep your skin smooth and away from mosquito bites.
4. Smooth skin
mix blended avocado and 1 spoonful of honey, 1 tea spoonful of uncooked rice, and 10 drops of baby oil. apply the mixture to your hands and feet and leave for 20 to 30 minutes before bathing as usual. don't forget to massage in circular motion before washing it off. it is really effective for softening the elbows, and knees with scars and all. go ahead and try!
there will be another recipes in this coming up! let me know how you feel after you try ok?
