Milk & Honey Purifying Bath

From Thai Spa Book!!

Thais have long believed in the goodness of honey as a medicinal substance that helps cleanse, soothe and moisturize the skin. The Banyan Tree Spa has created a bath of milk and honey to refresh and soften your whole body. Sprinkle some fresh rose petals onto the water just before you step in, and then lie back and enjoy a warm, languorous soak.

3 teaspoons      honey
2 litres              fresh milk
10 drops          your favorite essential oil
1 handful          bath salts
Scattering         red rose petals

Mix the honey, fresh milk and bath salts together and stir well until the honey and bath salts have dissolved. Add the mixture to a tub of warm water.  Add the essential oil to the tub, then sprinkle rose petals on the water and luxuriate in a soothing soak.

DIY HAIR MASK is also A MOISTURIZER????

Hey!!!  I am reading a Thai Spa book now and came across an Egg & Honey Moisturizer for dull and dry looking skin.  The ingredients used are exacts of my first post 'DIY EGG, HONEY & OLIVE OIL HAIR MASK'.  This moisturizer is a recipe from the Banyan Tree Spas in Phuket and Bangkok.

Hmmm.... so besides using it on your hair, this recipe is also a moisturizer that helps to hydrate and improve your skin's texture.

Here's the recipe:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 2 drops of pure olive oil

Mix all the ingredients together and beat well for 2-3 min.  Spread the mixture all over your body and leave on for 10-15 min.  Rinse off.

DIY SUGAR BODY SCRUB

If you want soft and silky smooth skin, you will need to exfoliate at least twice a week.  I always prefer something simple.  You dun want to go thru lotsa hassle to DIY.  If its too complicated, I'll rather buy off the shelves.  Try my favorite recipe!!

• Brown Sugar (1 cup)
• White Sugar (1/2 cup)
• Olive Oil (1 cup)
• Moisturizing Cream (1/2 cup)
• Peppermint essential oil (10 drops)

Mix all ingredients until it's smooth and VOILA!!!  You are ready for a good scrub.  You dun even need to use moisturizer after that.
