3-Ingredient Recipes for a Spa Day with your Toddler
Moisturizing Sugar and Honey Scrub
Fine grain sugar and honey makes a great moisturizing scrub. Using this scrub will slough away dead skin cells leaving your face or body feeling clean and radiant.
Try letting your toddler apply the scrub to your face with their fingertips, like they would finger paints. Gently rub in for 5 minutes, then rinse.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- Splash of olive oil to help blend
Another fun home spa treatment is an Avocado Mask. Check out our kid-friendly take!
Hydrating Smashed Avo Mask
Owing to their super-fruit status, avocados are rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. And, they are a great source of biotin which is known to help prevent dry skin. Add yogurt or olive oil and honey to the mixture and your skin will feel plump and fresh.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil or yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon of honey
Smash the avocado thoroughly, then mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl (we suggest letting your kiddo squish the avocado by hand). Let your little helper apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off the face mask with lukewarm water or, better yet, run around in the sprinklers! Have fun!
