LIVE NATURALLY AT HOME WITH SIX SENSES

Six Senses Hotels Resorts and Spas are a sustainability champion and as part of the At Home With Six Senses program, the brand is encouraging guests and visitors to live sustainably and utilise the natural resources available to them.


With spas still closed across many countries, The Alchemy Bar at Six Senses provides simple yet effective home treatments for those seeking to rejuvenate their minds and bodies. Six Senses Director of Training, Tammy Dent, has curated recipes that blend the goodness of herbs, salts, fruits and essential oils.

Fans of holistic treatments can now treat themselves to a spa day at home by creating their own aromatic hair and face masks; hand/foot and full body scrubs or pampering themselves with one of the luxurious bathing rituals.

SOFTENING HAND SCRUB:
Washing hands frequently and using sanitiser has definitely left them dry. This scrub will leave hands soft and moisturised.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup Sea salt
  • ¼ cup Unrefined sugar
  • 1 tbsp fractionated coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 drops Grapefruit essential oil

Directions:
Start by mixing the coconut oil with the raw honey. Then add the other ingredients, choosing an essential oil of your choice. It is important not to overdo the essential oil as this could impair your condition. Once mixed, keep your scrub in a dark, glass bottle away from direct sunlight to protect the natural ingredients and use regularly.

AVOCADO AND OLIVE OIL HAIR MASK:
This mask is useful in treating dry and damaged hair. It is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and provides the ultimate strength and shine to your hair. Avocado helps to rejuvenate and moisturise the scalp.

Ingredients:

  • Half an avocado
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of honey

Directions:
Mash the avocado and mix all the ingredients together. Apply to wet hair with your fingertips, starting at the roots and working your way up. Draw your hair into a bun and cover with a shower cap. To help activate the ingredients, blow-dry your shower cap-covered hair for 10 minutes. Then let it sit for another 20 minutes before rinsing off.

PAPAYA FACE MASK:
This mask is ideal for achieving a glowing complexion.

Ingredients:

  • Half cup mashed papaya
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1 whipped egg white

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together and apply to your face and neck with your fingers or a face brush, avoiding the eye area. The enzymes in the papaya are a natural exfoliator, so they remove dead skin cells while the honey and egg white bind the mask together. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off.

CITRUS BLAST BODY SCRUB:
Exfoliate your body with this scrub to feel refreshed and revitalised.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 Himalayan salt
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • Orange zest
  • Lemon zest
  • 1 tsp of finely chopped mint

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. You could also add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. Geranium would be a good choice to balance at all levels. Stand under the shower to dampen your skin. Using small, circular movements apply the scrub to your whole body, avoiding any sensitive areas. The Himalayan salt will stimulate your microcirculation as well as the lymphatic system. It also works wonders to release tension from tight muscles. Your skin will be beautifully nourished by the olive oil, and the citrus oils will enliven the senses. ✤
