While a trip to the spa is a wonderful way to pamper yourself, your daily routines are also an important way to care for yourself in between, and can even help to make the professional visits more effective.
Here we discuss some of our favorite at-home spa treatments that can help you relax, rejuvenate, and thrive. From elaborate at-home spa treatments to small rituals that take only a moment, taking good care of yourself in between more involved treatments can be a beautiful way to show yourself love and bring your energy back to center. While baths may seem self-evident, so many of us could use the reminder to just fill the tub with warm water, add aromatic bath salts or essential oils, and slip into the sacred waters of self-care.
Adding preferably organic dried flowers, such as lavender or rose petals, and some beeswax candles around the tub is a touch of luxury that takes the experience to another level altogether. A bath not only soothes the body, but calms the mind and helps to slip us into a more relaxed and receptive state. Exfoliation is a crucial step in maintaining healthy and glowing skin as it helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover.
At home, you can exfoliate using gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliants. Gently massage the exfoliant onto your skin in circular motions and rinse off to reveal smoother and more radiant skin.
Alternatively, you can use a dry-brush before bathing for a product-free exfoliation. Again, move the brush in circular motions, moving from your extremities towards the center of the body.
