Your At Home Spa Treatment
It’s no secret that the economy’s taken a nosedive faster than a model on a slippery runway, but just because we’re tightening our belts a bit doesn’t mean that we have to sacrifice all of our glorious pampering treats. Many people are in the habit of visiting the spa about once a month for a massage or a skin treatment, but that seems a little frivolous when you’re trying to save some cash. However, we’ve concocted a few product combinations that can give you the desired result for $80 or under, which is about the average price of a spa visit. Plus, you’ll get more than just one fabulous day out of these products.
Moisturize –
Total = $64
If the hot summer sun and dry heat bakes your skin to a Sahara-like veneer, then you have to fight back with the comfort of super-moisturizing products. Always follow the “wash, scrub, moisturize” pattern when it comes to skincare, and then follow up with your add-ons. In this case, you’re using Shea and Cocoa Butter, both renowned for their moisture-retaining properties. Aloe comforts skin and the delicate exfoliator sloughs without drying out. Finish with a moisturizing scrub mask gentle enough for your face, but suitable for rough knees and elbows as well.
Purify –
- Tea Tree Oil Invigorating Body Wash +
- Pure Detox Clarifying Mask +
- Aloe Caring Body Balm +
- Lip Scuff
Total = $67
The long days of summer get hot and sweaty, making you feel sticky and in need of a little skin purification. Tea Tree Oil is well known for its signature scent and excellent cleansing properties. Our Pure Detox Mask actually contains wasabi extract, which has antioxidant benefits, and gives you that fresh, tingly feeling that tells you it’s working. Use the lip scuff to gently exfoliate and you’ll emerge from your own tub feeling like you’ve been given a whole new skin.
Energize –
- Total Energy Exhilarating Body Wash +
- Pink Grapefruit Body Scrub +
- Pure Detox Refreshing Body Moisturizer +
- Mandarin Orchid Body Spray
Total = $80
Nothing can make you sluggish more quickly than the oppressive heat of a muggy July day. Which is fine if all you have to do is lie around the beach, but not so great if you’ve got to carry on normally. The tangy citrus scent in the grapefruit scrub and mandarin spray is an instant pick-me-up, and the Detox Body Moisturizer comes in a cooling formula with menthol. For extra chill, pop the moisturizer in the fridge for a few minutes. Better than lemonade to keep you cool on a hot summer day, and all for less than one trip to the spa.
