How to make a home spa

Take advantage of these days to prepare a comforting spa session at home . Don't think it's impossible and don't think that your house is too small, your bathroom is uncomfortable, or that you don't have everything a true spa needs. Trust us: put your phone aside, close the door, turn off the light, light a candle and take a relaxing bath accompanied by a good book, your favorite playlist, a glass of wine or a tea.

You can choose what you like the most, but the important thing is that you make this moment all yours. Enjoy your beauty routine to the fullest, take care of your skin and take advantage of your favorite products. Disconnect and give yourself a moment just for you.

We have prepared this article with all our love so that, in just 3 steps, you can turn your home into a real relaxing spa …

STEP ONE: FACIAL SPA

To make your skin feel happy again, you only need your daily facial hygiene products, a scrub, a vitamin C ampoule and a hydrating mask . A treatment with vitamin C and antioxidants that will teleport you to a beauty cabin without leaving home …

The first step is to cleanse the skin with the product you have at home (micellar water, make-up remover balm …).
Apply the toner that you normally use.
After this, it's time to exfoliate. You can make a homemade scrub with the products you have in the pantry or use your usual one.
After rinsing the face with plenty of water, apply an ampoule or a serum containing vitamin C all over the face, neck and décolleté. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, prevents aging and brightens the skin.

The importance of wearing a mask

The last step of the facial routine in a spa version is the mask, and we love it. You can use any that is moisturizing and you should let it act for at least 15 minutes. At that moment relax more than ever, put on your favorite songs (relaxing, of course) and do nothing during that time. A few days ago we shared with you the keys to make a perfect skin cleansing and make it super effective, and this was one of the tips: It is important to relax for a few minutes, so if you like candles, soft music or incense , it is a good time to use them. You also need some large towels and a blanket to avoid getting cold in relaxation, I have an electric heat mat that I love to put on my back while the mask takes effect.

We tell you which is the best mask according to your skin type.

Second step: Body Spa

Once we have our face ready, it is the turn of the rest of the body. To feel like in a spa, you need the "body scrub moment". Here you have a selection with several body scrubs for less than 10 euros although you can always make one at home. The important thing? That in addition to being effective, smells delicious …

This step is essential to do a "reset" to your skin since by exfoliating it, you eliminate dead cells and hydrate the skin in depth so that it regains its luminosity.

Body self-massage

To complete the relaxing treatment, once you have applied the scrub and rinsed it off, there is nothing better than a self-draining body massage when you get out of the shower. It will help you eliminate retentions and detoxify the body.

Legs: begins by circularly massaging the malleoli (protruding bones in the ankle) to later carry out upward dragging from ankle to knee. Continue with internal and external upward movements towards the groin area. Finally, raise your leg to a chair to be able to massage, upwards, the thigh from the back, ending in the buttocks and massaging in this area, outwards.
Abdomen: massage in a clockwise direction and if there is an area of fat accumulation, perform a 'pinch'. In the area of the flanks or hips (fluid retention zone) first pinch the area and finish with a circular massage.
Arms: with the arm raised above the head, massage from elbow to armpit and also from elbow to shoulder. Massage upwards towards the armpits, without forgetting to also work the area next to the chest, near the armpit.

Third step: Spa in your hands

Last but not least it is the turn of the hands. These days we are continuously washing them and it is important to give our hands extra hydration. We recommend that you exfoliate your hands thoroughly (you can use the same product as for the rest of the body) and use hand cream. Have you tried hand masks? They are gloves impregnated with a moisturizing, exfoliating product … that make your hands look perfect, hydrated and beautiful again. When you are done, you can get a homemade manicure to make your hands last.

After this home spa session you will get a face and body like fresh out of a spa: relaxed, hydrated, nourished, luminous, toned …
