DIY
spa
night
at
home
can
feel
simple
and
calm.
You
use
easy
kitchen
ingredients
to
make
a
hair
mask
or
face
mask.
This
keeps
costs
low
and
lets
you
know
each
item
used.
A
home
spa
night
can
fit
busy
Indian
routines
and
small
budgets.
Plan
your
DIY
spa
night
for
a
time
with
no
rush.
Turn
off
loud
sounds
and
put
your
phone
on
silent.
Keep
a
clean
towel,
bowl,
spoon
and
mirror
ready.
Wash
your
face
and
hair
first,
so
masks
work
on
clean
skin
and
scalp.
A
DIY
spa
night
at
home,
using
common
Indian
kitchen
ingredients
like
curd,
honey,
oats,
and
aloe
vera,
offers
affordable
skincare
and
haircare
routines
by
making
face
and
hair
masks,
but
one
should
always
do
a
patch
test
before
application.
Choose
a
hair
mask
if
hair
feels
dry,
rough
or
dull.
Pick
a
face
mask
if
skin
looks
tired
or
oily.
You
can
also
do
both,
but
keep
steps
simple.
Start
with
the
face
mask,
then
move
to
the
hair
mask,
or
the
other
way
round.
Common
kitchen
ingredients
for
masks
Many
Indian
kitchens
have
useful
items
for
a
DIY
spa
night.
Curd,
honey,
oats,
gram
flour,
banana,
aloe
vera
gel
and
coconut
oil
are

ways
for
hair
and
face
masks.
Always
use
fresh
and
clean
ingredients.
Basic
rules
for
safe
home
masks
Do
a
patch
test
before
using
any
new
mix.
Apply
a
little
paste
on
the
inside
of
your
wrist.
Wait
at
least
fifteen
minutes
and
watch
for
redness
or
itch.
If
skin
feels
fine,
you
can
use
it
on
face
or
scalp.
Avoid
use
on
cuts
or
rashes.
Simple
moisturising
face
mask
with
honey
and
curd
For
dry
or
normal
skin,
mix
one
spoon
thick
curd
with
one
spoon
honey.
Stir
till
smooth
and
soft.
Apply
a
thin
layer
on
clean
face
and
neck.
Keep
away
from
eyes
and
lips.
Leave
for
ten
to
fifteen
minutes,
then
wash
with
cool
water.
Oil
control
face
mask
with
gram
flour
For
oily
or
acne
prone
skin,
use
gram
flour,
or
besan.
Mix
two
spoons
besan
with
enough
rose
water
to
form
a
paste.
You
can
add
a
few
drops
of
lemon
juice
if
skin
is
not
sensitive.
Apply
evenly,
wait
till
almost
dry,
then
wash
gently.
Soothing
face
mask
with
oats
and
banana
If
skin
feels
red
or
tired,
oats
and
banana
can
help
calm
it.
Grind
or
crush
two
spoons
oats
into
smaller
bits.
Mash
half
a
ripe
banana
and
mix
with
oats.
Add
a
little
water
if
too
thick.
Apply
for
fifteen
minutes,
then
rinse
with
cool
water.
Hydrating
hair
mask
with
curd
and
coconut
oil
For
dry
or
frizzy
hair,
curd
and
coconut
oil
form
a
simple
hair
mask.
Take
three
spoons
curd
and
one
spoon
coconut
oil.
Mix
till
smooth.
Apply
from
mid
length
to
tips,
then
move
to
scalp
if
not
too
oily.
Leave
for
twenty
minutes
and
wash
with
mild
shampoo.
Nourishing
hair
mask
with
banana
and
honey
A
banana
hair
mask
can
add
shine
to
dull
hair.
Mash
one
ripe
banana
until
no
big
lumps
remain.
Add
one
spoon
honey
and
one
spoon
olive
or
coconut
oil.
Mix
well
and
apply
on
hair
sections.
Cover
with
a
shower
cap,
wait
twenty
minutes,
then
rinse
thoroughly.
Refreshing
scalp
mask
with
aloe
vera
If
scalp
feels
itchy
or
sun
exposed,
aloe
vera
gel
can
feel
cool.
Use
fresh
gel
from
a
clean
leaf,
or
pure
store
gel.
Apply
on
scalp
with
clean
fingers.
Leave
for
fifteen
minutes,
then
wash
hair.
Do
not
use
if
you
react
to
aloe
products.
Steps
to
follow
during
your
spa
night
Start
by
washing
face
and
hair
with
gentle
products.
Apply
your
chosen
mask
with
clean
hands
or
a
soft
brush.
Sit
in
a
quiet
spot
and
breathe
slowly.
Use
this
time
to
relax
eyes
and
neck.
Rinse
masks
on
time
and
pat
skin
dry
with
a
soft
towel.
Aftercare
for
skin
and
hair
After
a
face
mask,
apply
a
light
moisturiser
that
suits
your
skin.
For
hair,
let
it
dry
in
air
instead
of
strong
heat.
Do
not
use
many
styling
products
right
after
a
hair
mask.
Drink
enough
water
so
skin
stays
hydrated
from
inside
as
well.
How
often
to
use
DIY
masks
Use
a
face
mask
once
or
twice
a
week,
based
on
skin
type.
Dry
skin
may
like
gentle,
moisturising
masks
more
often.
Oily
skin
may
benefit
from
oil
control
masks,
but
not
each
day.
Hair
masks
once
a
week
are
usually
enough
for
most
hair
types.
When
to
avoid
DIY
spa
treatments
Skip
DIY
spa
night
if
you
have
strong
skin
issues,
open
wounds,
or
scalp
infection.
People
with
very
sensitive
skin
should
talk
to
a
skin
doctor
before
trying
new
masks.
If
any
burning
or
strong
itch
starts,
wash
off
at
once
and
stop
use.
