What are your tips for home pampering

What do you do at home that saves you money rather than going to a beautician?

Im finding my self upkeep is very expensive and want to get salon results at home, any tips please?
thanks x

    Wow, some of you girls are pamper queens. The ideas sound so good.

    I think most home treatments would cost less then getting them done at a salon. When I have time I do a face mask and soak in the bath. I sometimes make my own. Just do a search in Google or Yahoo for home made face masks. There are some really simple recipes and you can tailer them to your own needs. Or just buy some.

    Definately doing your own manicures and pedicures is cheaper. Perhaps leave the salon for these only for special occassions. So really how much you save or spend will depend on what product you use at home. Happy Pampering!

    I do all my pampering at home.
    I have monthly pampering sessions where I invite my friends over and set up different stations.
    – One station is a foot spa
    – Second station is a face mask
    – Third station is manicure
    – Fourth station is pedicure
    – Fifth station is teeth whitening
    We always order pizza and watch chick flicks. Its a great night in.

    Twice a week for myself I do a facial, hair mask and full body scrub.
    Once a week I do a manicure, pedicure and full body epilate.

    Last night while watching The Good Wife I did a pedicure.
    Any night I am home and watching tv I will always give myself a treatment. Whether it’s a facial, hair mask, manicure, pedicure.

    My one whole dayultimate pampering package at home is
    1. While taking shower, hair spa, body scrub and body masque. I make the effort to massage myself as well while doing the body masque. Finish up with a slap generous of body lotions.
    2. After that, I did facial scrub, facial steam and facial mask. Finish up with moisturiser.
    3. Next i do my own pedicure/manicure spa, with a bucket of warm water, and scrubbed them clean with Natio foot and hand spa. Finish up with good nail polish.

    I do this once to twice every week. And it’s good because I feel that i get in touch with myself again, and its nice to feel that I love my own body, if you know what i mean?

    Overall, i feel refresh, and my man is always happy looking at a woman who can spend time with herself and putting it to a good use :).

    The ladies at my local salon recommend a mini face massage before applying cream or during application as it relaxes the skin/muscles in the face. Also when massaging in cream do so in an upward direction? Don’t know heard that aswell maybe thats how they got taught.

    Adding a cup of milk to a bath also makes for smooth skin.
