Set The Tone for Relaxation
Start your day by setting the vibes in your home. Light your favorite scented candle or diffuse essential oils. Choose scents like lavender to relax or lemon as a mood lifter. Play your favorite music to set the tone for relaxation in your space.
At Home Spa Experience
skin
Begin with your skincare routine, use a luxurious high-quality cleanser, followed by an exfoliating face scrub. Ive been using one from the brand Tula.
Draw a warm bath and add bath salts, oils, or a bath bomb for an extra touch luxury. While you soak, put on a face mask and relax. After your bath, moisturize your skin with a rich lotion or body butter to make you smell yummy. Top it off with your favorite body spray. Just that should do wonders.
Finish your skincare routine by using a facial moisturizer, serum, and don’t forget your SPF.
hair
Give your hair some love with a hot oil treatment, deep-conditioning treatment or a hair mask. Wrap your hair in a warm towel or a shower cap to enhance absorption, then style as you wish, rocking your hair’s natural beauty or trying something new.
