Simple At-Home Spa Treatments Using Kitchen Ingredients

Making time for self-care helps us manage stress and keeps us healthier in the long run. Even when there's no time for a trip to the spa, at-home treatments can become a meaningful part of an effective self-care regimen. Try these feel-good solutions for some in-house relaxation and rejuvenation inside our Olympus Apartments.  

Sugar Scrubs

An easy place to start any self-care routine, simple sugar scrubs can be made with whatever type of sugar you have on hand and a whole variety of carrier oils. They are an effective way to exfoliate and moisturize dry skin. Add a few drops of essential oil to boost your exfoliation experience. 

Honey-Vinegar Hair Detox

Honey and apple cider vinegar have long been touted as superfoods. Honey has immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Apple cider vinegar has been used for everything from weight loss to managing blood sugar and cholesterol. For a quick pick-me-up, mix these two with a bit of olive oil to create a nourishing hair mask. It will deep cleanse the scalp while leaving hair healthy and shiny. 

Oatmeal and Cinnamon Face Mask

When combined, oatmeal and cinnamon have the power to deep cleanse and exfoliate while gently eliminating dryness. Cinnamon also plumps the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. Try this soothing DIY face mask and balance your skin while you detoxify. 

Hydration With A Twist

Finally, care for your body from the inside out. Proper hydration not only staves off headaches and helps regulate body temperature, but it also contributes positively to keeping skin looking supple. Make water more appealing with a twist of citrus fruit, a slice of cucumber, or a sprig of mint.
