Have you wanted to try spa treatments for a long time, but couldn't afford it? You can also arrange a spa at home. You just need to stock up on time and be creative. You can use industrial cosmetics, or you can make them yourself from what you have at home. The main advantage of these spa treatments is that you can use exactly what you personally need.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to Create the Right Atmosphere

1. 1 Plan ahead. Do not triple your spa on the eve of important events - you need to set aside a couple of hours to relax and unwind. Before you start, prepare everything you need, otherwise you will have to be distracted all the time.
   • No need to do all from this article. Choose the treatments you like the most.
2. 2 First, tidy up the bathroom and clean the tub. If you haven't done this for a long time, do the cleaning and hide all unnecessary things. If the bathtub is dirty, try to clean it. The spas are pleasant in large part due to the fact that they are always perfectly clean. A clean bathroom and bathtub will help you enjoy your treatments.
   • When cleaning, turn off electronic devices and do not be distracted. Of course, you can listen to music!
3. 3 Prepare a couple of clean towels if you plan on taking a bath. You can warm up the towels in the tumble dryer, if you have one. You can also leave the towels in the sun for a couple of hours. When the towels are warm, place them where you can take them. This will create the complete illusion of a spa.
   • If you have a bathrobe, warm it up and place it next to it.
4. 4 Put on some soothing music. Music for meditation, nature sounds, instrumental or classical music will work. Some streaming services have dedicated spa playlists. Choose a long playlist so you don't have to get up and turn it back on.
   • Even if you like fast, energetic music, it won't work for a spa.
5. 5 Dim the lights and light the candles. It is not necessary to use scented candles, although a little sweet scent will do the trick. If you are not ready to light candles, use electronic candles. But be careful: if they fall into the water, they will burn. You can also use a New Year's garland - it will create a soft, dim light that will be enough for you to see everything, and that will not distract you.
   • If you don't like candles, you can use home fragrances, scented wax, or essential oils in an aroma lamp.
6. 6 If you don't want to just lie in the water, prepare another spot for other treatments. If you decide to do a face mask or steam your feet, you will need more time, and not all bathrooms are comfortable to do this. If your bathroom does not have a comfortable chair or chair, find another place for the spa treatments, light candles and play soothing music.
7. 7 Think about drinks. High-end spas often offer customers drinks or desserts. You don't need anything complicated - water with lemon, herbal tea or champagne will be enough.
   • Choose simple snacks. There shouldn't be too many of them. Small candies, chocolates, grapes, nuts, or chopped strawberries work well.
8. 8 Turn on the hot water tap and wait for the bathroom to fill up with steam. The warmth will open the pores so that all masks and skin products can penetrate deeper into the skin. In addition, steam will create a salon atmosphere.

Method 2 of 3: How to pamper yourself

1. 1 Select treatments. You don't need to do everything in this article. It is better to choose what you need, what you have time for and what you like.
2. 2 Steam your face. This procedure is suitable for those who are short on time and who want to relax. For a more enjoyable experience, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, aromatic herbs, or a couple of tea bags to the water. Lean over a bowl of hot water and cover your head with a towel to keep the steam inside. Sit in a comfortable place for 10 minutes. Then pour out the water, apply your favorite scrub or mask to the skin and cream at the end.
3. 3 Cleanse your face or body with a scrub. You can use a ready-made or homemade sugar and butter scrub. Apply the scrub in small circular motions, then rinse off with warm water. If you are using a body scrub, it is best to rinse it off in the shower so that you do not clog the bathtub with residues later.
4. 4 Apply a hair mask. Hair needs as much attention as skin. You can use an industrial or homemade mask. Apply the mask to damp hair and put on a shower cap. To enhance the effect, wrap your head in a towel.
   • Try several procedures at the same time. Take a bath with a mask on your hair. Usually the mask should be kept for at least 30 minutes.
5. 5 Take a bath. Fill the tub with warm water, add salt, foam, essential oil, or throw in a bath bomb. Soak in the water for 20-30 minutes. You can use commercial or home bath products. Put on a warm bath towel after your bath.
   • You can add a can of coconut milk, a tablespoon of almond oil, and 20 drops of your favorite essential oil to the water.
   • Wash everything off your skin. All products are very beneficial, but they can leave marks on the skin. To prevent this from happening, drain the water and take a shower. If you applied the mask to your hair, now you need to rinse it off.
6. 6 Apply body oil to your skin. While the skin is still damp, apply the oil. The oil will penetrate the skin, making it silky to the touch. You can apply it with massaging movements. Both a ready-made product and a homemade one will do.
7. 7 Try using a face mask and a foot mask at the same time, or hover your legs. All masks take time to take effect. So as not to waste time, soar your feet and use a face mask at the same time. When you steam your feet, rub the cream into them, wrap them in a plastic bag and towel, and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then remove the bag and rinse off the mask from your face.
   • To keep you comfortable, put on a warm robe first.
   • Soak a towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds. Special spa socks can be used.
8. 8 Spoil your feet. Fill your bath with water and add your favorite bath product. Place your feet in the water and sit for 10-15 minutes. You can rub your feet with a scrub, pumice stone, apply cream and do a pedicure.
9. 9 Don't forget your hands! Rub the rest of the scrub into your hands, rinse and apply the cream. Then get your manicure done. Do not strive for the ideal - relax, listen to music, enjoy the process!
10. 10 Finally, put on a bathrobe. If you don't have one, any comfy outfit will do, such as pajamas. Read a book, get a manicure or make-up, listen to music. If you have food and drinks left, now is the time to grab a snack!
