At Home Spa Day - Face Masks and Body Scrub

What woman doesn't want to have a day all to herself?!

While watching The Chew the other day, Daphne Oz gave 3 DIY Homemade Masks and a Scrub. I thought I would share the wealth right here with all of you! 

You can watch the video if you go to The Chew - Videos. Look for Daphne's Homemade Skin Savers.

Kiwi Scrub
This moisturizes and tightens your skin.
(This can be used all over the body)

Ingredients
2 Kiwis (peeled) - leave the peel on for extra exfoliating
1 Cup Greek Yogurt
~2 T Olive Oil
~2 T Orange Juice (or Lemon or Lime)

Puree the ingredients in a blender. Massage into skin (on face or all over your body) and wait until it dries. Rinse with warm water.


Egg White Mask
This is a firming mask that also helps prevent whiteheads.

Ingredients
2 egg whites
Juice of 1/2 Lemon (optional)

Whisk the egg whites and juice together until the liquid is frothy. Massage into skin, and wait until it dries. Rinse with warm water.


Soothing Banana Mask
Reduces redness and irritation, and also helps with acne.

Ingredients
1 Banana
Greek Yogurt ( 1/2 - 1 Cup)
Honey (eyeball)

Mash the banana, and stir in the yogurt and honey. Apply the mask, and let sit for 15 minutes. 
Rinse with warm water.

Don't these ideas make you want to host a "girl's night in"? You can make some face scrubs, listen to some great tunes, do mani-pedis and have a few (or a ton of ) laughs :)

I can't wait to try the Kiwi and Banana masks, which ones do you want to try?
