A Spa Treatment for Free! (Seriously) For simple in-home hydrotherapy, start out your day with a hot steamy shower and just as you are finishing switch the water to cold for about 15 seconds. Repeat the process for two minutes. This hydrotherapy technique will revitalize your skin and give it a glow by stimulating the flow of blood through the skin. (The price of this treatment at a spa: $95!)

Baking Soda sounds like a good way to make a face scrub. Now that's very cheap!

Definitely trying the home spa! I thought you should just do it once at the end of the shower, but I'm definitely going to try switching back and forth.

Interesting. Some good tips, but I think I'll stick with what I know, and what works well.

used to make an egg mask on my hair, it was way too smelly:( But it worked, especially with a good quality olive oil.
