How to Have a Luxurious Spa Day at Home

If tiredness or stress is a constant in your life, read our top tips on creating a luxurious spa day at home. Historically, spas have been linked to the renowned Roman baths, and for good reason—the Latin term *Salus per aquae* translates to “health through water.” Indulge in the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate with a soothing, mineral-rich bath that nourishes both body and mind.

When we think about Spa’s we automatically think, calm, relax, detox, and with that in mind let’s have a look at how you can achieve a state of relaxation and harmony at home.

How to Create a Spa Day at Home

A Relaxing Bath

First of all, run yourself a warm bath and add some Himalayan salt. Himalayan mineral rich crystal salts can be dissolved in your bath for a full body soothing soak to calm and relax the senses. You can also add a few drops of Lavender essential oil, lavender is a good choice because it calms the mind and body.

Create a Calm Atmosphere

If you’re a rock chick you probably need to tone it down a bit, try calming and relaxing music that will encourage you to relax. A little mood lighting will most definitely add to the tranquil effect, light your favourite scented candles to achieve this.

If candles aren’t your preference, try lighting a few incense sticks to fill the space with calming, tranquil aromas.

It’s all about the Face

Restore dull and tired skin with the use of a pink clay face mask a natural way to draw out impurities and boost skin radiance. Pink clay is rich in iron oxide, minerals and trace elements making it suitable for all skin types including oily, dry and blemished prone skin.

Pink clay is a natural universal product that can also be used on the body to targeted areas to help draw out impurities in the skin. You can also use pink clay on hair to detoxify and remove impurities and to add shine and body.

Banish Dead Skin

You can make a lovely cheap and effective body exfoliator with sugar, base oil, and a few drops of essential oils of your choice. Try one that compliments your skin type; we especially like the ones below.

• Frankincense essential oil for improving skin tone and treating aging skin it’s also used for reducing scar tissue.
• Lavender, works for all skin types having a balancing action on the skin. Try lavender if you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, acne, or dermatitis.
• Jasmine essential oil is said to soothe the nerves and produce a feeling of confidence and optimism.  Whilst also restoring energy.

Revitalize your Hair

Most of us tend to overlook our hair during a home spa treatment, truth be told it’s just as important as the rest of our body. Always use a shampoo that has a PH balance of 4.0 to 5.5 and try to avoid Parabens and SLS.
You can make a gorgeous PH balanced shampoo from Coconut Milk and Aloe Vera Gel. Packed full of vitamins and minerals it’s sure to make your hair silky, soft, and look fabulous!

Relax and Unwind

After you’ve pampered and preened yourself to a heavenly bliss, wrap yourself in a warm fluffy dressing gown with a glass of lemon water. Listen to some calming music or watch a feel-good movie you know you deserve it!
