Hello Lovelies
Today’s post is for all you hardworking ladies who deserve a
spa day to unwind from the daily hustle . As spas are on the high end side here is a DIY way to get all the luxuries and pampering at your home . I define self care as time by yourself
, where you are priority , and you spend time loving yourself .
As we have Summer going on , today’s post will be around a
particular ingredient i.e MINT . Mint is
excellent for the summers , it not only cools down your skin and also has a lot
of antioxidants . In today’s post mint will be used in all of the DIYs so stash
your pantry will loads of mint.
Let’s get started with the DIY spa day.
1 .
Hair
Care : The first thing we will be making is a mint hair tonic ,
to make this one you’ll need
·
A cup (15-20) of pre-washed mint leaves , put
them into boiling water .
·
Let it simmer for about 5 minutes .
·
Add 1 tea spoon green tea to it .
·
Let it cool down , strain it and store in a
spray bottle for easy application.
·
Spray the tonic generously on the roots and
secure your hair for the next DIY .
These ingredients are amazing for your scalp . This is not a
hair mask but also a hair tonic which will get rid of any greasiness or any foul
smell from your scalp . As in summers we generally tend to have a really greasy
scalp which can sometimes give off a tinge . This tonic will help you get rid
of any such thing . Mint and green tea are also great simulators for hair
growth so it’s pretty much a miracle tonic .
2.
Face
Mask : This one is really easy to make . You’ll need just two
ingredients i.e mint leaves and aloevera gel .
·
Take about 15-20 pre-washed mint leaves and 2
spoons of aloe vera gel .
·
Use a blender or Pestle and Mortar to make a
smooth paste .
·
Once you have the paste apply a thin layer all over your face
You
can apply this under your eyes as well as both mint and aloe vera are great for
de puffing .This mask will leave your skin hydrated and well moisturized .
3.
Spa
drink : While you are waiting on your face mask and hair to
settle in and dry make your own spa drink to sip on . Make this infused water
·
Cut a lemon into small parts ( about 8
quarters).
·
Put it into your mason jar ( or any container) .
·
Add about 15-20 mint leaves .
·
Add 10 ice cubes and water .
·
Keep this refrigerated for 10 minutes .
Infused water is great for your body as it detoxifies your
body thoroughly and cleanses it as well .
After you face mask seems a little dryish get into the shower
and clean everything up , shampoo your hair as normal and you are done ! You
will feel soooooo refreshed , minty and clean .Your skin will be left bouncy
and smooth , you will love the experience
as much as I did .
P.S : As all of these are diy . Make sure you do a patch
test before you slop anything on your skin .
Until next time
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)
