3 Quick And Easy Home Spa Recipes For Busy Women
~ by Ruth Hofer (edited by Diana Cohen)
You shouldn’t use a lack of spare time as a reason for not looking after your body temple. It’s important to nourish and take care of yourself. That way you can be more present for family, friends and work. Being busy is not an excuse for putting yourself last.
With that being said, here are a few simple, fun, raw and FAST beauty rituals you can definitely make time for (using things you already have in your pantry)…
Instant Papaya Facial
The next time you’re cutting up a papaya for your morning smoothie take the flesh side of skin and rub it all over your face. The enzymes revitalize your face by breaking down dead skin cells. This works best when the papaya is still slightly firm. Just remember to wipe the papaya pulp off before you leave the house! 😉
Coconut & Vinegar Hair Care
Try this treatment once a week. Massage coconut oil into your scalp and through your hair the night before shampooing. You can sleep with a towel over your pillow. In the morning shampoo it out and instead of conditioner pour some apple cider vinegar through your hair and then rinse. This hair treatment is so inexpensive and you probably already have coconut oil and vinegar in your pantry anyways. The coconut oil conditions your hair and its anti fugal and anti microbial properties mean that you’ll never get dandruff. Rinsing your hair with vinegar sounds a bit weird, but trust me it leaves your hair so incredibly soft and shiny.
Shower Secrets – Soft Sweet Smelling Skin

- Mix ½ cup each of coarsely ground salt and sugar together.
- Mix together a few tablespoons of cold pressed almond oil and a tablespoon of rose water.
- Then mix everything together and store in a glass jar within easy reach of the shower.
Scoop out a handful while you’re waiting for the water to warm up and rub it all over you body. Keep rubbing as you rinse it off.
Done.
How easy was that?
