Your body can look and feel like a million bucks without going under the knife.
BOEY PING PING of The Star seeks out ways for you to try.
Body brushing
Brushing the skin...
Scrub me clean
Body scrubs help remove dead skin cells and flaky patches...
Soak your blues away
After a hard day’s work, a soak in the tub melts your worries away and sends your body into deep relaxation.
Soaps and suds
Notice how bathing gets you all refreshed and invigorated?
Fuzz busting
The best time to shave, wax or tweeze is after a shower when your skin and hair is soft and relaxed.
Smooth as butter
The best way to protect skin is to coat it with moisturisers and sunblock.
Boost your bust
It won’t take you from an A cup to a C cup but bust firming creams do help to increase elasticity and firmness, preventing your breasts from meeting your stomach.
Spot on
Your body needs just as much care and sun protection as your face.
And finally:
Mix your own milk bath
This recipe is said to leave your skin gently scented and feeling like silk.
Ingredients: l 3 cups powdered milk l 1/4 cup oatmeal l 1/4 cup dried orris root (it is the dried and ground root of a Dalmatian iris and has a soft violet scent; can be found in pharmacies/herbalists’)
l 1/3 cup almond meal
l 1 capsule vitamin E (break open into dry ingredients)
l 1/3 cup cornstarch
Directions:
This makes enough for a few baths. Combine ingredients, make sure they are completely mixed. Store in a container. When you are ready to add it to your bath, scoop the desired amount of the mixture and tie securely in a muslin bag or even a facecloth will do. Tie to the faucet allowing the warm water to run over and through the bag.
* To make almond meal:
Using a blender, grind up blanched or slivered almonds to a powdered consistency. (Almond meal can be found in shops retailing baking ingredients.)
