Make Your Own Home Spa

abrogers | Beauty | Wednesday, 16 May 2007

Home SpaHaving a time at a spa is the most wonderful experiences that people have, it is not only that one can make that experience wonderful, they can also have that same experience at their own home. It is not only you, but your entire family can enjoy the same wonderful experience in the comfort of your own home.

The thing that mesmerizes someone in a spa is the environment and that is something that you can have in your own home. To get that specific environment, which will elate you will require a few things that includes:

A robe and slippers. A CD that you love the most to hear and that makes you relaxed from head to toe. Another thing that you will need is a scented candle. A bath brush or a scrubbie to scrub your back. A nice soft fluffy towel. Essential oils or bath salts. You will also need the cleansers, toners and moisturizers. You will also need coarse sea salt. You can make yourself a glass of lemonade in the best glassware that you have.

Now when you have collected everything you need to make an environment, just fix everything in an order and organize and just cut loose all the thoughts that are grabbing you and holding you back. You need to release yourself from every single bit of worry that you have on your mind and just focus that this is your best time of the month.

The first thing that you need to do is to slow down on everything once you have organized everything. You need to take a few breaths and play the best CD that you listen to relax you down. You do not need to hurry on things and everything will just go on in a very slow pace, you can say in slow motion, a pace that you have experienced in months or may be not.

Now you need to lit on the candle, which can be any of your favorite fragrances such as lavender, jasmine etc. You can use essential oils according to your mood at that point in time and the way to use them is to add a few drops of the oil in the lukewarm water and then soak a towel into the water and place that towel on your body for a few minutes and you can repeat the process again and when you feel that you need to move into another phase, you can wash yourself with an anti-oxidant and an anti-inflammatory facial splash.

The best thing that one achieves with the essential oils is that you can feel really good about yourself, as well as there is a good level of elevation of mood and makes the stress vanish out from your life. Now after that gentle application of the oils on your body and the cleaning, you can now move into getting a relaxing shower or can relax in a bath tub filled with lukewarm water and for that you can use the spongeables, which is a soap and a sponge in one and is available in the fragrances of your choice.

You can scrub your body with that and this will help to increase the circulation of your skin and will then remove the toxins and excess water from your skin and make your skin look really glowing.

You can also add the bath salts to your favorite essential oils and then by adding the water, you can spread it easily to your skin. It will help you take the dead cells off of your body and you can move the scrubbie in circular strokes. With this, you will be able to exfoliate the dead skin and will be able to clean out the pores. While you are doing this, you can also use an air pillow and place it in the bath tub and just relax and lay back.

After you are done with the nice warm tub soaking, you can take a nice shower and then clean yourself out with the fluffy towel. After that you can apply the body toning lotion and feel your skin really getting toned up with that. Leave the toner on your skin and allow it there for a while and just relax and listen to the music you have set for you in the background and feel how exciting your moment is.
