Here are some benefits you won't want to miss out on. 1) Destresses You Relaxing in a home spa after a hard day at work or school gives you space to calm your thoughts and reflect on things. Just like meditation, this is crucial in our modern, fast-paced life. 2) Reverses Ageing Focusing on beauty treatments for the skin can knock decades off your years. Facials can eliminate and prevents wrinkles so they are worth doing on a regular basis. And the relaxation benefits can also add years to your life and life to your years. 3) Soothes Pain Whether you've been on your feet all day, or sitting at a desk all day, your body will be suffering in some way. Pampering and massaging your body has been shown to dramatically decrease aches and pains. 4) Helps You Sleep Better We all know that rushing around all evening and using our phones and computers right before bed is not conducive to a good nights sleep. Just taking one hour before bed to relax and wind down in your home spa can help you get to sleep faster and sleep deeply all night long. 5) Helps You Lose Weight Yes, home spa treatments can actually help you lose weight. Whether you massage the toxins out of your body, sweat them out in a home sauna or use natural spa recipes to help you burn more calories, there are so many options to encourage weight loss. 6) Makes You Happy Pampering yourself and giving your mind and body a chance to wind down makes you feel special. It feels like such a treat to look after your body and you can't help but glow from the inside and out after you've had a session in your home spa. 7) Saves You Money Going to a spa can be very expensive. Creating your own home spa day or night will cost a fraction of the price. It can even be free if you just use what you already have. 8) Saves You Time If you don't have to do research into a spa, hire a babysitter or book time off work, travel to the spa and home again, it can save a lot of time if you have a spa at home at a time that is most suitable for you. 9) You Can Have More Spa Days f you create your own home spa, you can have a spa day whenever you like. You don't need to wait for time to do it, or saving up for it. Have a home spa night every day after work if you choose. I know I do!

Or will you choose to make a whole day out of it and invite some friends with you? 2) Choose Your Home Spa Room Will you choose your lounge for your home spa day so you have more space to move around and invite friends? You can even utilize your TV with some relaxing imagery or even watch a movie while you are pampering yourself. Perhaps the bathroom is the best choice for your home spa so you can have a relaxing spa bath and use some of your homemade beauty products which might get a bit messy. Or the bedroom could be a great option for your home spa so that you can lie on your bed with some soothing music and if you happen to fall asleep, you're in the perfect place. 3) Set The Scene Make sure you have dimmed the lights, and light some candles or use a salt lamp to purify the air while providing a perfect focal point to help you relax. Put on some relaxing music, some meditation music is a perfect choice. Turn your phone off and tell your family not to disturb you. Get yourself a nice healthy drink such as a sleepy tea, or some detox water. Put on your essential oils diffuser with some nice relaxing essential oils. 4) Give Yourself Some DIY Spa Treatments Give yourself a facial, face mask body scrub, pedicure or manicure, hair mask, foot cream, put some cucumbers on your eyes and relax. 5) Take A Calming Spa Bath There are so many ways to turn your bathtub into a spa bath such as adding bubbles, putting rose petals in the bath, lighting candles and adding a cushion for your head. I go into more detail about this in the spa bath section of this guide. Rejuvenating Home Spa Treatments There are so many different home spa treatments you can give yourself. If you want recipes for homemade spa products, jump to the next section. Here is a simple routine you can use to give yourself rejuvenating home spa treatments whenever you please. 1) Get A Relaxing Massage You can either give yourself a massage, get someone else to give you a massage, or use a massage machine. I adore this massage machine and it's very affordable too. 2) Make A Quick Hair Mask To make the mask, melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of honey in a pan on a low heat. Then remove from the heat and add 2 drops of lavender essential oil which is great for repairing the hair, or rosemary essential oil which helps hair regrowth and makes hair grow faster. Apply the hair mask to your hair and relax for 30-60 minutes. Some people struggle to wash coconut oil out of their hair with shampoo, so if you do struggle, you can use some dry shampoo to easily remove the oil. You can find all the ingredients mentioned above (and more) to make a quick hair mask in this list of my favorite beauty recipe ingredients. 3) Give Yourself A Simple Facial Start with clean skin, then steam the face, either by holding your head 6 inches over a bowl of boiling water with a towel over your head. You can make this process easier by using a facial steamer. Then exfoliate with a sugar scrub, followed by a mask. Next apply a natural toner, followed by a natural sheet mask. Remove any dark spots with this homemade dark spot remover cream. Next, use my puffy dark under-eye cream. Finally, finish off with some natural moisturizer. {READ THIS: Purifying Lime And Sugar Scrub For Acne} 4) Make A Homemade Body Wrap Use a body wrap to lose inches from your body and give yourself a treat. {READ THIS: 5 Natural Body Wrap Recipes} 5) Remove Dry Skin From The Body Exfoliate the whole body using my sugar scrub recipe. Next, have a nice relaxing soak with my 1 Minute Almond & Oatmeal Scrub Soap Recipe For Dry Skin. When you get out of the bath, apply a whole body moisturizer to treat your skin. {READ THIS: "5 Minute Whip It Up" Homemade Moisturizer} 6) Give Yourself A Pedicure This guide will show you how. 7) Give Yourself A Manicure Follow on with a beautiful manicure.
