Bawah Reserve opened to great acclaim in 2017, a shining example of beauty, sustainability and holiday relaxation. The Reserve’s Aura Spa is one of many things guests love, and while we can’t get to experience the spa on site, the spa’s manager, Emelda Drapiana, has shared  some fabulous recipes for the body, face and hair so that we can all enjoy a spa day without leaving the house.

 

For the body

Coffee Scrub from Bawah Reserve

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.
Ingredients:
• 4 tbsp coffee grounds
• 2 tbsp milk powder
• 100 ml virgin coconut oil
1. Combine all ingredients and stir well.
2. Apply to your whole body using circular motions, paying attention to drier areas such
as the elbows, knees and feet.
3. Rinse.

• 1 tbsp egg white

1. Whisk the egg white until fluffy.
