How To Make Your Own Relaxation And Beauty Spa At Home

Today, centers that offer spa services to relax and enhance our natural beauty are in fashion . Unfortunately, the high price of these centers makes it difficult for us to attend them on a regular basis. In this article, we share some secrets for you to create your own relaxing and beauty home spa.

What do we need in our spa?

To prepare our home spa, we must have a bathroom with a bathtub.

Here are the ingredients we need for our relaxation and beauty routine:

• Nice texture towels
• Essential oils
• Foaming liquid soap
• Food colorings
• Magnesium sulphate
• Sea salt
• Coconut oil
• Candles
• Relaxing music

Next, we detail how to prepare our spa session with these natural ingredients.

Bath Preparation

The bathroom should stop looking like the usual room to become an intimate, pleasant and relaxing room. To do this, follow the following tips:

• Turn off the light and put candles or small lamps ; for example, those made of Himalayan salt, which emit a warm and inviting orange light.
• Play relaxing music at a low volume.
• If it is cold, put a stove, because it is essential that the temperature is adequate.

It is essential that, during the time you spend in your spa, you can disconnect from any matter that worries you. You also shouldn’t have interruptions.

Relaxing bath

When the room is ready, it will be time to prepare the bathtub:

• Fill it with water that is close to body temperature. We will not be comfortable if the water is cold. However, if it were too hot, it could lower blood pressure and lead to dizziness.

• While the bathtub is filling, add some foamy soap and a few drops of essential oils. If you wish, you can also add some food coloring to give the water the color you like best. These colorants do not have any health risk.
• Finally, add the key ingredient: half a cup of magnesium sulfate (100 g).

This magnesium bath will help you relax. And, at the same time, it will revitalize you. If you don’t have magnesium sulfate, you can use sea salt.

What essential oils to choose?

It is important to know a little about the properties of essential oils in order to choose the most suitable ones:

• Relaxers: Lavender, Basil, Chamomile
• Stimulants and aphrodisiacs: Cinnamon, ylang-ylang, bergamot
• Antidepressants: Lemon, orange, bergamot, tangerine, grapefruit
• Rejuvenating: Lavender, Geranium, Rose
• Sensual: Rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang

They must be pure and certified essential oils, since nowadays chemical essences without therapeutic properties are also marketed.

Natural scrub

Inside the bathtub, the hot water will open the pores of the skin, allowing it to cleanse and provide nutrients more easily. Therefore, it is the ideal time to exfoliate and hydrate it. You can achieve both these goals at the same time with a natural scrub made from sea salt and coconut oil.

For the body we will use coarse sea salt, while for the face we will choose the fine one. We will massage well with this mixture and we will rinse off. When finished, we will have soft and highly hydrated skin.

Cold shower

To get more out of this spa, we will make a small effort to shower with cold water for about 30 seconds, just before drying off.

With this simple step, we will achieve the following results:

• Avoid voltage drops
• Improve circulation
• Firm the skin and prevent sagging
• Improve body temperature
• Get vitality

We should always start the cold shower with the feet and finish it on the neck. We should not wash the head with cold water.

Final relax

This home spa session can last between 30 and 45 minutes. While it lasts, we recommend avoiding any stressful situation.

One of the best times to do it is before going to bed. Thus, we extend the feeling of pleasure and well-being throughout the night. In fact, it is highly recommended to prevent insomnia. If we do it in the morning, we will dry off and warm up after the session. And, if possible, we will spend a while resting, reading or listening to music.

A weekly spa session will help us reduce stress and anxiety, combat exhaustion and increase energy. In addition, it helps us to improve the appearance and health of our skin.
