Lemons in your home spa

Do you like to pamper yourself, but don’t have the money to go to a spa?  Here are a few things you can do at home to help with the rejuvenation process.

 

Foot Soak

A foot soak made with lemon and mint will invigorate and brighten them.

Fill a basin or pan full of cool water, put some slices of lemon in and a handful of mint (after rubbing them to release the natural oils).  Slide your feet in and let them lemon brighten them and the mint invigorate them.  The aromatherapy with be uplifting.  Soak at least 10 minutes.  Pat them dry then massage with foot  cream.

 

Oily skin facial

Refresh your oily face with lemon and cornmeal.  The lemon regulates the oil production and the cornmeal softens your skin.

In a small bowl mix together 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of plain yogurt and 1/4 cup of cornmeal.  Wash your face then use this mixture and massage it into your skin.  Leave it on for about 10 minutes then splash it off with warm water.

You can save what is left for 2-4 days in the refrigerator in a air tight container.
