Spa treatments offer a great way to relax and unwind. They have mental and emotional health effects that can benefit you in the long run.
However, they’re not exactly good for your wallet, are they? It’s hard to deny that they can get expensive, especially if you turn them into a weekly habit.
So what can you do to enjoy the benefits of a spa experience without having to shell out a lot of cash? Simple: create your own spa experience at home.
There are many benefits to doing this. Aside from saving money, you get to make sure that all the ingredients in your spa essentials are safe and natural.
Making DIY creams and scrubs is all part of the fun. If you want, you can even host a “spa-rty” with your friends or surprise your partner and turn it into something romantic.
How can you create a fun spa experience at home? Here are some ideas you can try.
Clean Your Bathroom
It all starts with the dirty work. An unclean bathroom is going to destroy your mood, so you need to set aside time to make sure that your bathroom is clean and hygienic.
Our suggestion? You might want to make your own cleansers so that your bathroom won’t smell like chemicals. Lemon and baking soda are popular options.
Buy New Towels And Robes
It won’t be a luxurious experience if you don’t treat yourself to nice and plush towels and robes. Invest in something soft, absorbent, and easy to care for.
Luxurious towels are more expensive than regular towels, but they are often worth the splurge. Don’t forget the nice robes―they would be nice to lounge around your room in after your bath.
Make Your Own Facial Cream And Body Scrub
A couple of days before your scheduled “me time,” set aside a couple of hours to make your own facial cream and body scrub. It’s a lot simpler than it sounds.
For example, you can mix epsom salt with your favorite body cream. Making your own bath essentials makes for a good hobby.
Plus, by creating your own stuff, you can be confident that you’re not using harmful chemicals on your body.
Create The Right Atmosphere
When you walk into any spa, one of the first things you’ll probably notice is the relaxing atmosphere. The zen music and the scented candles help create a calm mood. They all contribute to the experience.
Invest in several essentials that will help you create the mood you want. If you want the evening to be particularly romantic, spreading flower petals in the area is a good idea.
Don’t Forget Your Tranquility Bath Salts
You can also level up your muscle soak by adding epsom salt to your bath water. It’s a great option that can help you relax and enjoy numerous wellness benefits at the same time.
Epsom salt is mainly made from magnesium and sulfate, which can bring much-needed relief and soften the skin too.
At Better Bath Better Body, all our epsom salt blends, such as our Cold Season Bath Soak and Turmeric Bath Soak, are enhanced with pure essential oils for aromatherapy benefits.
Specific essential oils can help address certain needs of your body. For example, lavender is popular for its calming properties, while tea tree oil is known for its cleansing properties.
