Kim Danger, nationally-recognized savings expert and founder of www.mommysavers.com, has teamed up with Uniroyal Tire to release a series of e-books for the frugal-minded. The team’s e-books and videos can be found at www.uniroyaltires.com/moremileageforyourmoney, and they are available for free.
My latest e-book, “Pamper Yourself for Less,†is all about making yourself a priority and creating some “me time.†If you’re in need of some rejuvenation, I have five homemade spa treatments that anyone can enjoy — without the price tag.
Egg Facial:
This homemade facial will cost you less than 25 cents to make! The egg white will first draw oil out of your skin, then the egg yolk will moisturize it.
Directions:
Crack the egg and separating the egg white from the yolk, then whisk until smooth. Start with a clean face, and rub the egg white on your face in a circular motion. Allow to dry for 15 minutes and wipe off with a warm washcloth. Next, rub the egg yolk on your face and allow to dry for 15 minutes in order to moisturize. Wash skin thoroughly with warm water.
Sugar/Salt Scrub:
This is a great scrub for polishing and smoothing out your skin, especially rough patches on your feet and elbows.
• 2 cups Epsom salts or sugar
• 1 cup olive oil
• 6-8 drops of essential oils (for a nice scent) if you have them or add a few drops of baby oil
Directions:
Lightly moisten skin and apply in a circular motion. Rinse off with warm water.
Oatmeal Mask:
This is a refreshing mask that will help moisturize your skin and gently exfoliate at the same time. It works wonders for really dry skin!
• 1/2 cup hot water (do not boil)
• 1/3 cup quick oats
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 egg white from a small egg
Directions:
Combine everything in a bowl and apply to your face. Leave on for 15-20 minutes until dry. Wash skin thoroughly with warm water.
Do It Yourself Bubble Bath:
Why spend money on this? De-stress after a long day with a calming bath that costs just pennies to make from items you have at home already.
• 1/2 cup gentle liquid dishwashing detergent
• 1 cup Epsom salts
• 4 or 5 drops glycerin
• 3 or 4 drops essential oil (optional)
Directions:
Combine ingredients and store in an airtight container. Add just a little bit to bathwater to create luxurious bubbles.
Moisturizing Mask
This mask will leave your face feeling silky smooth, especially if you have dry skin problems.
• 1 medium sized banana, mashed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions:
Mix banana and oil in a bowl. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until the mash is warm. Apply to face and leave on 10-15 minutes. Wash off with warm water, followed by a cold splash of water.
