Beauty lovers would attest what a great experience it is to have a spa at home. They bring an appealing experience for family members to pamper themselves with special treatments for your face as well as your body. Other than cleansing and refreshing your skin, a spa treatment at home is also a special way to exfoliate and balance your skin. Unluckily, we are forever on a strict schedule throughout the week, and only a few can afford to go for spa treatments. Irrespective of your skin type, you can make your facemasks enhance your beauty.
Setting Up Spa At Home
To start with, you must gather all the essential tools and ingredients to create a friendly environment that matches your mood.
What do you need?
Setting the scene…
- A quiet place: Find a silent corner if you live with other people in your home. You can choose your bedroom and set up a spa table/bed.
- Scented candle: This will add a soothing aroma and calming light to enhance your experience.
- A bathrobe: Look for comfortable and loose clothing that doesn’t cover your face.
- Soothing music: Set up a music source to keep you calm before and after a spa treatment. Rather than the music you listen at the gym, listen to tunes that will keep you relaxed.
- Headband: This will hold your hair in place so that it doesn’t interfere with your face treatment.
- Towels: You will require clean towels for patting your skin dry or to lie on.
- Washcloth: It should be clean and fresh
Pampering your face…
- Cleanser: Go for a gentle cleanser or use local honey to moisten, lighten and cleanse your skin.
- Steamer: This is for your face to open up your pores and remove dirt and oils. You can steam your face over a pot of hot water if you don’t have a face steamer.
- Exfoliator: Use an exfoliating pad, raw oatmeal, or dead sea salt
- Facial mask: This should match your skin type. It is ideal for clarifying your skin by eliminating dead skin cells and other impurities from the surface of your skin.
- Eye pads: These are ideal for soothing and relaxing your eyes. Soak cotton pads or balls in rose water, rosehip tea or use cucumber slices.
- Toner: This is for closing your pores after rinsing and patting dry your skin. Go for a mild toner that is gentle on your skin.
- Moisturiser: This should match your skin type. It should be rich in minerals and vitamins and offer protection against harmful rays of the sun.
And your body…
Therapeutic Bath Soak
A spa at home experience should match a relaxing and therapeutic skincare routine. Dead Sea bath salts have soothing effects on aching muscles and joints. The lovely scent in bath salts have aromatherapy effects mainly sourced from oils and salts. If you enjoy bubble bath luxury, you can use a cup of milk powder which also has a soothing effect. There are several options for your therapeutic bath soak, including detoxifying soaks rich in minerals, milk baths or combinations. Select what will appeal to you the most.
Body Scrub
It is essential for exfoliating your skin to remove dead cells and other impurities from the deep layers. You can use a Body Polish or Dead Sea salts to reveal a new skin with the help of skin care tips.
Foot Scrub
It is very important to work on your feet when they are soft and damp. Use mitt, loofahs or foot scrub to remove all the dead skin from your feet, cuticles and heels as well.
Moisturise
Use body lotions, serum or creams that are rich in minerals and vitamins to replenish and nourish your freshly uncovered skin. And don’t forget to moisturise your feet.
You can combine body spa with a facial mask to reap maximum benefits from a spa at home treatment. In addition, you can also wash your hair and put it on a conditioning mask before entering the tub for therapeutic bath soak.
You can get a natural spa treatment at the comfort of your home without stripping your wallet. You are simply required to gather all the essential tools and portions in a quiet space at your home with calming music.
A spa at home treatment should bring the same experience and results as you would get from professional camps. Make a spa at home treatment a weekly routine and you will always be amazed by your striking look!
