Body Care That Can Be Done at Home

During the period of physical distancing and self-quarantine due to the current Corona virus pandemic, one of the routines we miss the most is caring for our bodies at our favorite spa or salon, right? It feels like we can't wait for this crisis to pass and create the body care list that we have written on our respective bucket lists. But, why wait when we can do it right now? While hoping for the best, we can actually do some kinds of body care at home, you know. Although the results may not be as satisfying as the salon subscription, they are worth a try. Here are some body treatments that we can do yourself at home:

1. Steam Face
Steam, aka steaming facial skin, has the benefit of opening pores in a natural way so that it can remove piles of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells that cause acne and blackheads that have accumulated in the layers of facial skin. The warm steam also helps improve blood flow circulation to facial skin, hydrates, and increases collagen production which keeps our facial skin looking radiant and youthful.

To do this treatment at home, we just need to prepare enough warm water (about 4 to 6 cups) into a container like a large bowl then drop in aromatherapy oil, then face our faces on it for a few minutes. So that the steam is more concentrated, we can cover our heads with a towel. Another way is to dip a clean towel in warm water until it is absorbent and then place it on our faces while lying down. In addition to clear water, you can try using tea water that is rich in antioxidants and choose various aromatherapy oils such as chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus, to orange.

2. Face masks
Face masks, whether in the form of creams or facial masks, may have been part of our care routine at home before. What, though, if our supplies run out and maybe we want to save a little? Well, we can take advantage of existing materials at home. Some of the recommended facial mask recipes include:

Oatmeal Mask: Mix two teaspoons of oatmeal, one tablespoon of baking soda, and enough water to make a cream. After that, we just have to rinse the face thoroughly and feel for yourself the effect that makes facial skin feel supple but also tight.

Cucumber Mask: Blend one small cucumber with one cup of oatmeal until it becomes creamy. Mix each one teaspoon of the cream with one teaspoon of yogurt.

Honey Mask: Wash your face with warm water first to open the pores, then rub the honey evenly on the face, let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water to close the pores.

Lemon & Egg Mask: Squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with one beaten egg white. Wipe evenly to the face and then left to sleep. The next morning, wash your face with warm water.

3. Body Scrub
Scrubs also include treatments that are easy to do at home because there are so many home scrub products, aka body scrubs on the market. But again, if you don't want to be wasteful, we can take advantage of some of the ingredients in the kitchen, from granulated sugar, salt, coffee powder, and other ingredients that are mixed evenly to form a scrub. One recipe that you can try is a lemon and sugar scrub that makes your skin feel fresh. All you need is the oil of your choice, such as coconut oil or olive oil, sugar, lemon juice (either straight fruit or concentrate) mixed in the right amount to make it look like the scrub you usually use. Why lemon? Apart from its fresh aroma, lemon also has antibacterial properties and brightens the skin. However, you can also experiment with other natural ingredients according to your taste.

4. Eye Mask
In this Work From Home period, staring at a laptop screen all day and even late at night can make you have panda eyes or black eye bags that make our faces look fresher and seem older. A simple treatment that we can do at home is to compress the eye area with two tea bags that have been cooled in the refrigerator for about 10 to 20 minutes. Apart from relaxing our eyes, the antioxidant content in tea is also able to fight irritation, dark circles, puffiness, and red eyes.

5. Hair Mask
If shampoo and conditioner are still not optimal, there are several hair mask recipes that you can make yourself and adjust to your hair problem.

Dry hair: Mix one teaspoon of honey, one egg, one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until evenly distributed then rub evenly into hair and let stand for 30 to 40 minutes before rinsing clean.

Dandruff: Mix two tablespoons of coconut oil, four teaspoons of sugar, five teaspoons
