Edible Spa Treatments

Who doesn’t love going to the spa? We do, but we don’t always have the extra cash on hand to splurge on a day at the spa. So why not bring the spa to you? These edible treats sound like they taste good but are used as great spa treatments! What better way to use up your leftover pantry staples. —

To rehydrate your skin after a long day in the sun, try our Avocado Mask. Mix 3T yogurt, 1T honey, 2T oatmeal and 1/4 avocado until they form a paste. Apply to face using fingertips. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

To rehydrate your hair, try our Honey and Apple Smoothie. Combine 1 apple (peeled, cored and cut into large pieces), 2T baking soda, and 1/2 C seltzer in a blender and mix until smooth. Apply to clean, dry hair. Wrap hair in a shower cap and let sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and condition for soft silky hair.
