To spa or not to spa? Hmmm, I am going to be honest with you… I am not a bath person. Why? Well mainly because the places I’ve lived don’t have the ideal person to bath ratio. My current bath tub is green from the 70’s and I am too tall to fit. Sad but true.
However, that being said I love the idea of taking a bath and pampering myself. And I probably don’t do it enough. Spending some quality me time in peace, surrounding myself with candles, relaxing music and nourishing my body with luxurious bath products. It sounds amazing doesn’t it? And some day it will be for me. The great thing is, you don’t have to live like me. You can pamper yourself with a bath and other fun spa things right now. So here is a list of Home Spa Ideas you can do from the comforts of your own bathroom…
These are a great way to Relax, Detox and boost your immune system. Full of essential oils and nutrients, how can you go wrong. Plus its really cool seeing them explode in the water. We’ve got some great bath bombs you can try for this exact purpose.
The great thing about these, the work is done for you. Literally all you have to do is fill the tub and drop it in. The mixture of tea and Epson salts will relieve your muscles, pain and leave you feeling more relaxed.
Loofa Scrub
You can use a loofa scrub after your bath to help with dry skin on your heels, knees and elbows. I’ve also heard you can cut up oranges to slough your dry skin. However, I haven’t tried it myself.
Herbal Facial Steam
Take some nourishing herbs or essential oils like chamomile, peppermint or eucalyptus and you can put it in water and steam your face. When I write it that way, it doesn’t sound as appealing. But seriously it helps open up pores, and leaves your skin feeling clean with a vibrant glow.
Facial Masks
If you’re like me, you have a wide range of masks you got as gifts, literally sitting there collecting dust. So make time to try one out. Your face will thank you. You can also find a wide range of DIY masks you can make at home and use to give you face a deep cleanse. Give it a go and try something new!
And there you have it… several ideas of the many you can use to take a load off. You deserve it. Oh and don’t forget the candles and music. It’s all about the overall experience.
