subject: Full Body Acne Treatments - Why You Don't Need To Leave Your Home [print this page] Let's be honest, we all love the spaLet's be honest, we all love the spa. Guys may say they don't, but they do. It's relaxing, soothing, and a great way to unwind from the daily grind. However, it's also very expensive. Now, you may not be able to have a mud bath at home or a hot stone massage, but you can definitely treat yourself and your skin to a great spa day at home. Even better, these particular spa treatments double as full body acne treatments, so enjoy the results and the stress relief.
1. Oatmeal bath - No, instant won't work. Buy some good steel cut oats and add a few cups to a warm bath. Alternatively, they do make bath powders, salts, and bubble bath solutions with oatmeal. Sit in it for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse off. You'll be amazed what a difference this makes. Your skin will feel smoother and must less tight, giving you a more relaxed feeling for less than $5.
2. Sauna - I know, I know. You don't have a sauna at home. If you can't access a sauna through a community recreation center, you have two choices. First, you can take a quick hot shower. However, too much hot water will dry out your skin, so be careful. Second, you can take some clean, large river rocks and put them into a hot oven for an hour. Carefully remove and put into a terra cotta pot, then put into another terra cotta pot so it's not too hot. Put into your shower, have a seat, and pour some cold water onto the rocks. Instant sauna, and much cheaper than having one installed in your house.
Now don't get me wrong, I understand that my homemade sauna is a lot of work (and please be careful), but the difference it will make in your stress level (and your acne) makes it all worth it. So finish what you're doing on the computer and go give these full body acne treatments a try, you deserve a day at the spa.
