Ingredients:
Facial massage oil (like apricot kernel oil)
Lavender essential oil
Directions: Mix together the facial oil and lavender and warm a few drops between your hands, cupping them over your nose while you take three deep breaths. To massage:
1. Sweep your right hand downwards from the top of your neck outward across your décolletage to your shoulder.
2. Sweep hands from the middle of your forehead up towards the hairline and outwards towards the temples. Finish with a sweep under the eyes (along the bone).
3. With alternate hands stroke upwards along the middle of the eyebrows upwards along the forehead.
4. Gently pinch the chin and jaw line with your thumbs under the chin and fingers on top of the jaw line.

I LOVE these DIY alternatives. Epsom salts (just about pure Magnesium) really work to soothe aches and pains. Baking soda softens skin and relieves rashes, as does oatmeal.

I would be hard for me to get past the thought that I'm wasting good food. Honey mask? I'll be eating out of the jar before it even reaches my hair.

Very good ideas, but I';d probably visit the spa before doing these.
