Everybody needs a little rest and relaxation.
You may not be able to afford a costly day at the spa, but we've got good news. You can have all the beauty perks without the financial pains... right in the comfort of your own home.
From soothing foot massages to feel-good facials, we've got the simple spa secrets that won't leave your wallet sore. Just open your refrigerator and the basic ingredients are right at your fingertips.
It's as easy as...
1. Invigorate and soften feet with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons almond oil added to a basin of warm water. Gently massage feet and slip into cotton socks.
2. It's not an old wives' tale: thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve soreness and puffiness.
3. Mash up a melon and apply the remains to your face. Rinse clean after 15 minutes. Melons are rich in beta carotene, a substance that combats cell damage.
4. Boil some whole milk and then let cool. Lift the "skin" that forms on the surface and apply it to your face until it dries out. Scrub it off gently with a vegetable brush or coarse washcloth.
