Sink into a luxurious soak with a spa-like day at home! Indulge in fragrant bath salts infused with essential oils – a perfect way to unwind after the constant juggle of modern life.
Studies show women experience higher stress levels than men, and a relaxing bath is the perfect antidote. Whether they're moms, sisters, wives, girlfriends, or grandmas, all women deserve a moment of pure bliss.
So why not celebrate them (Mother's Day, birthday, or any day!) with this gift of self-care?
Here’s How To Plan The Day For Her
Before The At-Home Spa Day
Before your planned at-home spa day, start buying these things and prepare them ahead of time.
Prepare A Comfortable Robe And Warm Towel
Prepare for this special day by getting your softest robe and towel ready. If you feel like treating your special woman, consider splurging on a new, extra-soft set.
While she enjoys her bath, toss them into the dryer. This way, you can wrap her in a warm robe right after she finishes her bath.
Make A Relaxing Playlist
Creating the right atmosphere is key for at-home spa days. To set the mood for relaxation, curate a special playlist for your special woman.
If you aim for her to meditate and unwind, a soothing playlist works wonders. However, if you want her to have a blast, gather her favorite tunes and let her sing along joyfully while indulging in a bath.
Make The Room Smell Good
As previously noted, ambiance plays a crucial role in at-home spa days. Before your special woman steps into the bath, ensure it's perfectly relaxing.
Transform your bathroom into a spa haven by lighting aromatic candles, using a soothing room spray, or running a humidifier. Scents such as lavender, chamomile, or peppermint work wonders for creating a serene atmosphere.
Make Tea Or Cucumber Water
Proper hydration is crucial during bath soaks. Ensure your special woman stays hydrated throughout your spa-like day at home by preparing cucumber water—a refreshing beverage she wouldn't expect.
Don't forget a relaxing tea like chamomile or lavender; it's a must-have. Serve the tea before or during the bath for added relaxation.
Prepare The Snacks
Plan ahead for the food you'll serve her. Spa food is typically healthy and easy to eat in one bite.
However, if you think she'd prefer a sandwich or a slice of pizza while she relaxes in the bath, go ahead and indulge her. You could even treat her to wine or mimosas.
Remember, it's her spa day—make sure she's happy!
Tip: Keep the food and drinks within easy reach from the bath. Use a stool or a bath tray to place them nearby.
Prepare A Full Body Mask Or Body Scrub
Ensure your special woman enjoys a day of ultimate pampering by treating her to a full body mud mask or a body scrub. Both are fantastic for detoxing and softening the skin.
Consider the Lilliuma Detoxify Bath Salt as an excellent choice for a body scrub. Encourage her to use either of these treatments before she takes a relaxing bath.
Prepare The Bath
The bath soak is the highlight of a spa-like day at home. Creating the perfect bath doesn't require rocket science.
Simply choose the ideal bath soak based on your special woman's needs. If she needs stress relief, consider our Deep Relaxation Bath Soak or Tranquility Bath Soak.
For mom or grandma with tiredd joints, the Joints Soak Bath Salt is a great choice. If your wife or girlfriend is pregnant or has recently given birth, the Postpartum Sitz Bath Soak is specially prepared for her.
Here’s how to draw the perfect bath: Add ½ to 1 cup of bath salts to a standard-sized bathtub. You can adjust the water temperature to your liking, whether you prefer it cold or lukewarm.
Both cold and warm baths have their own set of benefits to offer.
What To Do Once She’s In The Bath?
There are countless ways to enhance bath time. You can customize the experience to suit your special woman's preferences.
Whether you prefer to let her relax in solitude or surprise her with a full at-home spa day experience, the choice is yours.
Give Her An At-Home Facial
You don’t have to be a dermatologist to treat your special woman to an at-home facial during your spa day together. Just gather these items (she may already have them): a facial wash, a scrub, a face mask (like a sheet or wash-off mask), and moisturizer.
While she’s relaxing in the bath, gently apply the scrub and mask to her face, and don’t forget to place cucumber slices on her eyes for the full spa experience!
Apply A Hair Mask
Don't forget her hair during spa day. If she has a hair mask, make sure to read the instructions before using it.
If she doesn't have one, you can create a mask by mixing epsom bath salt with her favorite conditioner. Apply this mixture as a hair mask, massaging it into her hair for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Let Her Meditate
Meditation ranks high among bath activities. Bath salts infused with essential oils enhance relaxation, making them ideal for meditation.
Consider playing instrumental music to create a peaceful atmosphere, allowing her moments of uninterrupted tranquility. Alternatively, opt for a guided meditation session if preferred.
Give Her A Body And Foot Massage
Of course, she wants a massage. Give her a relaxing back massage while she's in the bath. If you want to go above and beyond, prepare a foot soak using our Tea Tree Oil Foot Soak and offer her a foot massage afterward.
You don’t have to spend your paycheck to give the special woman in your life the spa treatment. You can recreate a spa day in your home with Better Bath Better Body’s bath salts with essential oils.
