At home Spa

Right after exercise or whenever you feel your body needs pampering, try this soothing scrub. Blend 1/2 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of vitamin E oil (you can pierce several vitamin gel capsules). Rub the mixture into your skin starting with your limbs (one a t a time) and then over the rest of your body, using upward strokes. When you're done applying the mixture, prepare a cool bath.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of mineral-based foaming bath, and you won't need a lotion afterward. Relax in the tub for 10 to 15 minutes. The process will not only ease tensed muscles but will also leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
