Spa day!

Hey, guys! Welcome to the Beauty Bar.  Today's topic is how to treat yourself with an at-home spa day.  Doing your own facials, manicure, etc..  We're going to start off by filling a large bowl with boiling water.  Put your hair into a bun or pony tail, and put your face over the steam for 1 minute.  Be sure not to burn yourself, otherwise you could end up with a serious steam burn.  Putting your face over the steam will cause your pores to open up and the steam will cleanse them.  After you have put your face over the steam for 1 minute, rub your face gently with the excess water on your face and pat dry with a towel.  Save the water in the bowl and add 1 packet of Aveeno oatmeal  and 1 egg white.  Mix it together until it is pasty or gooey.  Take two fingers and dip it into the mixture and rub it over your face.  Keep repeating this until your face is covered in the facial.  Leave it on for 12 minutes.  While your'e waiting, you can play soft relaxing music, light a scented candle, and maybe even dim the lights for a more relaxing effect.  After the 12 minutes, wash your face with lukewarm water and gently rub it off with you hands.  Dry your face with a towel.  Now we will use some Manuka honey and EVO (extra virgin olive oil).  Put 1 tablespoon of EVO and 1 tablespoon of honey and mix it together in a small bowl.  Microwave the mixture for 25 seconds.  Test it on your hand before you put it on your face to make sure its not too hot.  Use a pastry brush to dip in the mixture and put it on your face.  You will notice that it will soothe your skin and give it a healthy glow.  Wash the mixture off with warm water,  and pat your face dry.  I forgot  to mention that the oatmeal and egg white mask will get rid off dead skin cells and tighten the skin.  I always like to put cucumber slices on my eyes and rub body lotion on my legs and arms.  Body lotion is soothing and will make your skin feel soft and supple.  If you have any questions,  e-mail me at Beanie489@me.com  GOOD LUCK!
