Spa Secrets From A Lady Entrepreneur
By Ting Matias

With great enthusiasm, 26-year-old determined entrepreneur Marge Gabat fulfilled her biggest dream last December 2003 when she left her corporate career and opened up her own spa, bath and body care products business. Thus, Home Spa Bath and Body Essentials was born.

Her penchant for natural personal care products led her to experiment on them. However, after giving and allowing friends and associates to try her newfound interest, she got positive and very encouraging feedback. This prompted her to experiment more and thus the birth of her hobby turned venture spa line.

Home Spa is a fresh new way to pamper one's self. The products are made with utmost care and quality, blended with pure olive, honey and milk and delicately scented with essential oils of green tea, jasmine, chamomile, strawberry, mango, melon, lemon, pineapple, orange, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, almond, cherry, peppermint, cinnamon, lavender and more. These serve as aromatherapy products as well as moisturize the skin to a silky satin finish. Natural herbs and spices are also used. All Home Spa bath and body products are handmade and wrapped with acre. Below are some of Gabat's premier spa and skincare products:

Carrot Wrinkle Treatment Mask

This consists of a blend of carrot, milk and honey to soften and moisturize. The mask reduces the discomforts of skin irritations and stem infection while promoting cell growth. A rich source of vitamin A, carrot also treats acne and blemishes.

Jasmine and Almond Facial Mask

While the concept of the Western facial and its ritual process of toning scrubbing has no root in the tropical Asian culture, one bumper spa facial makes use of fresh from-the-garden produce. Jasmine leaves give a wonderful, calming effect for normal to dry skin.

Rejuvenating Mocha Frap Mint and Olive Glow Scrub

Coffee scrub exfoliates the skin and removes discolorations aside from giving a delicious therapeutic scent.

Chamomile & Vanilla Honey & Oats Bar

The humectant properties of honey nourish and moisturize the skin. It has been traditionally used to cover open wounds in order to soften scar tissue and encourage the growth of new skin. Chamomile, on the other hand, is an aromatic plant that has soothing and cleansing properties.

Banana Split Softening Milk and Honey Body Polish

Banana is an herbaceous plant that's very effective in removing blemishes. It is rich in vitamins and minerals and contains triptophan, a natural relaxant. It has natural oils and minerals that add luster to the skin. Milk protein is the best-known natural emollient; it makes the skin radically soft and pure to the touch. It soothes dry patches and pampers the skin, what with antioxidants that combat free radicals. The heavenly scent of vanilla wafts you off to sleep.

Mocha Frap Soft-As-Silk Honey Body Scrub for Cellulite

Sadly, there is no quick fix for beating that orange peel look that decorates the thighs of 95 percent of women. Improved diet, drinking water, dry skin brushing, swimming and yoga all help. And luckily, Home Spa has come up with an effective coffee-based cellulite treatment. Coffee helps prevent and improve the look of cellulite when massaged onto skin. Caffeine is a main ingredient in many cellulite creams that cost a fortune. Honey is known for firming and adding luster to the skin.

Strawberry Milkshake Honey Bliss Bath Gel

If your skin tends to be a bit tough and leathery, try this gel that comes from the plant genus of Fragaria and has a high content of ascorbic acid and is necessary for healthy skin, nails, and eyes. It has toning and softening qualities and is popularly known for its cleansing, exfoliating and nourishing effects on the skin.
