There is certainly no shortage of swish spas in Arizona. However, sometimes a gal doesn’t want to leave the comfort of her own abode for a day of body-scrubbing, pore-refining and hair-repairing. Here, pamper pros at four of our favorite local spas share their go-to at-home treatments.

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub
“This is a great pre-self-tanner or pre-spray tan scrub, as it will thoroughly exfoliate dead skin and does not contain any oils which can leave a barrier on your skin.”
—Tamara Remmers, lead aesthetician, Joya Spa at InterContinential Montelucia Resort & Spa

Pre-Self-Tanning Scrub
2 C Dark brown sugar
1 C Honey
5 drops Vanilla
2 tsp. White tea
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.  Apply honey-vanilla-brown sugar scrub to body using vigorous, circular motions to exfoliate dead skin, concentrating on elbows, knees and ankles. Rinse thoroughly using a body wash, if needed, to remove residual scrub. Your favorite self-tanner or spray tan will absorb into the skin much easier, leaving your skin glowing and tan lasting longer.
