Who says you have to leave the house for a relaxing wellness experience? With our simple step-by-step instructions, you can create the perfect home spa and transform your home into a true temple of well-being!
Home spa: the right preparation
Whether skin care or massage: In your home spa you can enjoy the amenities of a professional spa in your own four walls. Provided, of course, that you create the right atmosphere in the first step. That means: switch off your cell phone and computer, put on your favorite music, light scented candles, and have a bowl of fruit, a freshly brewed pot of tea, or a delicious berry smoothie ready. This is how you create the ideal environment for a well-deserved break and deep relaxation.
The first step: the relaxation bath
The next step is to indulge in a tub of hot water enriched with your favorite bath essence. The warm water relaxes the muscles and relieves tension. The essential oils of lavender, orange or lemon balm contained in the additive beguile the senses and have a calming effect. In our article on the topic of relaxation baths you will find further tips for optimally switching off after work.
Use heat: extensive skin and hair care
The warm bath offers the ideal setting for an extensive beauty program, i.e. skin and hair care. Because: The heat opens fibers and pores, which now optimally absorb the nourishing ingredients. So now put on a store-bought or homemade face mask and pamper your hair with a hair mask.
While both products are taking effect, rid your body of dead skin cells with a peeling. So the skin is ideally prepared for the next step of your home spa program.
Home Spa: the aftercare
After drying off, slip into a bathrobe and cozy socks and relax on the sofa. Now apply a nourishing body lotion that is optimally absorbed by your freshly peeled skin. Then prepare your facial skin to regenerate in the following hours with a concentrated serum or nourishing facial oil.
“DIY” pampering program: carry out the massage yourself
After the hot bath has loosened your muscles, we recommend a massage at the end of your home spa – which you can do all by yourself.
Work on tense arms and legs with firm pressure in stroking movements, starting with your feet or hands and working upwards. Then pamper a sore neck by grasping the opposite shoulder blade with your hands and working towards the neck in circular movements.
