Missing facials and body massages? Take this weekend to DIY your own pamper session with Anantara Desaru Coast Resort’s ‘Self-Care Routine’, courtesy of its Spa manager, Sheila Ong. In case you ran out of body scrubs, she has a homemade brown sugar body scrub recipe for you. Not only is brown sugar a great skin exfoliator, but it’s also gentler on the skin than sea salt or Epsom salt, leaving the skin silky smooth without irritation. To complement the experience, she recommends playing your preferred relaxing music and lighting an aromatherapy candle. It won’t beat a spa session at the resort, but it’ll tide you over until you can finally pay a visit.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup oil of your choice (coconut, jojoba, olive, almond, or grapeseed)
- Optional: 3-5 drops essential oils—Lavender (relaxing), Citrus (uplifting), Rose Geranium (anti-anxiety)
DIRECTIONS
- Combine brown sugar and oil into mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. If needed, add more sugar or oil to get the right consistency. Optional: add 4-5 drops of your favourite essential oil and stir into mixture. When satisfied with the consistency and fragrance of your scrub, spoon it into a container. You may keep the leftovers (if any) in your fridge for up to one month.
