Keep Skin Fit Naturally With These DIY Home~Spa Treatments

Of course, we always want to see our clients in the flesh at skinFIT Med Spa. However, we know that between business meetings, soccer games, and running marathons that you are busy people. For those times when you want a little spa-lift but can’t fit in a trip to see us, try some our staff’s favorite natural spa treatments right from home. Look no further than your fridge for a quick skin fix!  

• Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?  For the instant face-lift, whisk egg whites and apply directly to clean skin on crow’s feet, laugh lines, or entire face for a quick tighten-up.  Leave on for 15-20 minutes.  Egg whites contain an age-defying Amino-acid, Lysine, that boosts collagen production and works instantly.

 

• Want to maximize your time in the sun without damaging over-exposure?  Plan ahead before your Spring-Break-Bake and begin eating carrots a couple of weeks before you leave for Cancun.  Mexican women-in-the-know munch on carrots at the beach all summer long—the beta-carotenes help you tan deeper and extend your bronze longer.

 

• Ever wonder why women from India appear to have a natural glow? Look no further than your spice rack for a well-seasoned shimmer… After you exfoliate, grab your ground turmeric and apply directly to you skin in circular notion and your skin will look exotic and smell aromatic.  Leave on skin for 5 minutes and off you GLOW!  VERY IMPORTANT: unless you want yellow fingernails, wear plastic gloves.

 

• Make your own lip exfoliant and smoother by adding cinnamon to your lip balm.  Not only does it slough away dry skin around your mouth, it tastes delicious and cinnamon is a natural remedy for not-so-pleasant breath.  So, if you’re worried about what to order for dessert on a hot date—go for the cinnamon ice cream so you’ll be extra fresh when he leans in for the big kiss.
