April 28, 2020 (IANSlife) A trip to the spa is one of the best ways to rest and recharge.
However, when you’re not visiting a resort and can’t make it to your favourite spa, you can still create your own spa experience with natural products right at your home.
This can be just as effective – and even more fun – than booking a treatment at a professional spa.
Bawah Reserve, one of Indonesia’s most exclusive off-grid resorts, provides every guest with a daily spa treatment during their stay. IANSlife spoke with Emelda Drapiana, Bawah Reserve’s Aura Spa Manager , to bring you six easy yet fabulous recipes for your body, face and hair right from the comfort of your home.
For The Body
Start your natural spa day by exfoliating the dead cells from your skins.
Coffee Scrub
Used coffee grounds are packed with minerals that are great for the skin. And, because they do not dissolve in water, their gritty texture is great to naturally exfoliate to a super-soft finish.

Honey and Sesame Scrub
Sesame seeds are a rich source of zinc which can help increase the skin's flexibility. They are also rich in antioxidants which help detoxify the skin. Black sesame seeds have anti-inflammatory properties as well as iron and vitamins B and E.
