Spa day? Try DIY

Relaxing at the day spa is always a treat. But if you don't have the time or money, you can make your own spa at home. We asked beauty experts to share their easy, all-natural recipes for everything from a body scrub to an enzyme peel. These three DIY treatments come close to professional service for a fraction of the price. So slip on a robe, crank up the Enya and get the spa party started.

The expert: Becky Sturm, the founder of StormSisterSpatique.com and a luxury grooming line, 3waybeauty.com.

The recipe: A skin-softening tribute to Sophia Loren, who, Sturm said, "has long been rumored to use just one product to cleanse and moisturize her body: olive oil."

The benefits: Gently exfoliates and deeply moisturizes skin without the use of harsh scrubs or chemicals.

Olive Oil-Sugar Scrub

Ingredients

• 1 c. olive oil

• A few drops of your favorite essential oil

Directions:

Combine olive oil and sugar in a sealable bowl or jar. In shower, thoroughly wet body. Turn off water. Apply mixture to skin and massage in circular motion. Rinse well. Gently pat dry to leave a trace of olive oil behind like a built-in lotion. Scrub can be stored in a sealed container for a couple of weeks. (To avoid irritating skin, don't massage any area for longer than 1 minute. Don't use on face.)
