Have you ever finished a work week and thought “I really need a spa day”? Sometimes the best way to treat yourself is to DIY! This year at Savor Borgata, we pampered and showed our guests have you can take simple, everyday kitchen ingredients to make DIY face mask recipes and how to assemble a fun homemade spa basket to gift to your loved ones.

I’ll Take Suds With That Please

1/3 cup castile soap

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup coconilla oil

Method

Mix ingredients together and wash away.

Benefits

The moisturizing oils combined with the anti-oxidant properties of honey will nourish and protect your skin.

Sugar Face

1 tbsp. coconut oil

2 tbsp. sugar

Method

Mix ingredients to combine.  Gently massage over the skin in circular motions for 60 seconds. Rinse.

Benefits

The fine texture of sugar combined with Coconut oil’s deep moisturizing properties will rapidly hydrate, replenish lost vitamins, and shield your skin from moisture loss. You can make this in advance and store up to 3 months in the refrigerator. You now have a treatment that can transform dull dry skin into a youthful radiant glow any time of the year!

 

New Skin Reveal With Our Banana Peel

1 ripe banana

1 tbsp. brown sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla

Method

Mix ingredients to combine but avoid mixing too much, as it will thin out the recipe.  Apply and allow to set for about one minute, then gently massage over the skin in circular motions. Rinse.

Benefits

Besides making your skin glow, brown sugar helps in regenerating the skin cells and makes your skin lively.  Add antioxidant bananas to the mix for added vitamin C. Fabulous as a skin conditioner.

 

About Face Purifying Pads

¼ cup water

¼ cup castile soap

½ tsp. coconut oil

¼ tsp. vitamin E oil (capsule)

5 drops of essential oil

20 cotton rounds

1 small airtight container

Method

Pour all the ingredients in the airtight container. Mix well, then place cotton rounds into container 2-3 at a time to absorb face wash evenly.  Keep container closed tightly when not in use.

Benefits

These pre-made purifying pads will not only remove makeup, dirt and debris from the surface of your skin, the coconut oil and vitamin E will nourish the skin while deeply cleanse your pores.

 

Needle-Free Banana Botox Mask

1 medium ripe banana – mashed

¼ cup plain yogurt

2 tbsp. honey

Method

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients into a paste.  Apply the paste to your face, neck and décolleté. Allow it to sit for 10-20 minutes. Rinse with cold water to lock in the nutrients and close the pores for a tight and brightening result.

Benefits

Mixing up a batch of this amazingly simple mask once a week will tighten, brighten and moisturize your skin leaving it feeling softer but looking firmer like Botox without the needles.

 

All Eyes On You Eye Cream

3 slices of Avocado

5 drops of Almond oil

Method

Blend all the ingredients together into a smooth paste. Apply generously beneath the eye using the cushions of your ring finger. Starting at the inner corner of each eye, gently swipe the eye cream across the lower eye socket toward the temple making circular motions to nourish the fine lines.

Benefits

Avocados, when ingested, provides our bodies with healthy good fats, which makes it the perfect ingredient to use to plump fine lines, and nourishing the delicate skin around the eyes. Combine all the goodness of Avocados with the power of Almond oil, this eye cream will reduce fine lines, renew skin cells, and keep your baby blues, (or browns or greens) looking and feeling super hydrated and refreshed.
