How to Have a Relaxing Spa Day at Home

With Summer now feeling in full swing and restrictions more or less lifted, we all want to look (and feel) our best. But if you don’t have the time or the funds to treat yourself to a professional pamper, why not indugle in your very own at-home spa you’re in need of a de stress and a pamper. Sounds good? I thought it would! Here’s how to have a spa day at home

Setting the mood

The key to having a luxurious spa day at home is to set the scene and make your home as spa-like as possible. Close the curtains, light some candles or even better purchase a nice lavender diffuser (super calming) and search your Spotify for some relaxing music.

Get comfy

Put on your fluffiest robe and your cosiest slippers and get yourself as relaxed as possible, I mean you wouldn’t wear jeans in a spa so why wear them at home?

Face mask

Applying a face mask at least once a week is one of my favourite things to do. Not only will this leave your skin nourished and hydrated it will also help to plump and firm the skin making your make up application even better.

Try an anti-ageing hand mask

Like our faces, our hands can show signs of ageing long before anywhere else and they do often get forgotten about. Give your hands a good pamper with a rich hand mask and pop on some gloves to let it soak in for as long as possible.

Soak your feet

Something I will for sure be doing tonight! Fill a bowl full of warm water and add some bubbles (I like to use Radox or something similar) and pop your feet in for at least 20 minutes – or until the water goes cold if you prefer! Once out, slather your feet in a luxury body butter, something like peppermint is ideal especially if you have dry or cracked heels, this is perfect.

Treat your hair

Either with a good quality hair mask, or even popping some coconut oil through your tresses and brushing it through will help give your hair that extra boost its needing.

Take a bath

And finally, once you’ve treated all the above areas fill your bath with some bubbles or even a bath bomb and treat yourself to a long soak and don’t forget the glass of wine!
