At-Home Spa: 11 Simple Steps To Create Your Own Sanctuary

Updated on  

Transforming your home into a spa-like sanctuary is easier than you might think. With a few thoughtful touches and the right products, you can create a luxurious retreat that rejuvenates your body and mind. We are here to give you our top tips for creating your own at-home spa experience. From incorporating calming essential oils to choosing the perfect AromaBombs, these simple steps will help you craft a peaceful haven right in your own bathroom.

 

1. Embrace Mindfulness & Slow Down

A spa experience is about taking the time to slow down and be mindful of each moment. Allow yourself to fully immerse in the experience by disconnecting from your phone, turning off notifications, and focusing on the present. Listen to calming music or nature sounds, close your eyes, and take deep, slow breaths. This mindful approach will help you unwind and truly enjoy the tranquillity of your at-home spa experience.

 

2. Set The Mood With Calming Scents

The first step to creating an at-home spa is setting the right mood. Scent plays a powerful role in relaxation, so start by choosing a fragrance that soothes and uplifts. Place a reed diffuser in your bathroom with a calming blend like Serenity or Soulful. These subtle scents help create an inviting atmosphere, making your space feel like a true retreat.

 

3. Create A Warm & Inviting Atmosphere

Lighting is key to creating a spa-like ambience. Dim the lights and light a few candles around your bathroom. The soft glow of the candles will enhance the feeling of warmth and tranquillity.

 

4. Run A Relaxing Bath

A warm bath is the centrepiece of any at-home spa experience. Fill your tub with hot water and add a few drops of our bath oil to nourish your skin while you soak. Enhance your bath with an AromaBomb that matches your mood: Nurture for deep relaxation and sleep, Serenity for balance and focus, or Soulful for clarity and time out. As the AromaBomb dissolves, the water will turn into a fragrant, nourishing bath that hydrates your skin and soothes your senses, providing a luxurious and rejuvenating experience.

 

5. Indulge In Luxurious Bathrobes & Towels

Part of the spa experience is the feeling of being wrapped in softness and comfort. After your bath, indulge in a plush bathrobe and soft, oversized towels. Choose fabrics that are absorbent and gentle on the skin, such as cotton or bamboo. The sensation of wrapping yourself in luxury will extend the feeling of pampering and relaxation, making your at-home spa day feel truly special.

 

6. Pamper Your Skin

While you soak, treat your skin to a luxurious spa treatment. Start with an exfoliator to gently remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother, softer skin. After rinsing off the scrub, apply a moisturising cream to lock in hydration and leave your skin feeling soft. For a truly indulgent experience, use our Body Brilliance Exfoliate and Body Finish Cream, and finish off with a body oil infused with essential oils like Serenity or Purify to keep the calming effects going.

 

7. Incorporate Aromatherapy

To maintain a spa-like atmosphere throughout your entire bath, place a USB diffuser in your bathroom. Add your favourite essential oil blend, and let the gentle mist from the diffuser continuously release the fragrance, enveloping your bathroom in a cloud of soothing aroma that enhances your spa experience.

 

8. Treat Your Hands & Feet

No spa day is complete without some pampering for your hands and feet. Start by soaking in warm water, then exfoliate with a scrub. Afterwards, apply a hand wash followed by hand lotion to keep your skin soft and nourished.

 

9. Focus On Skincare

To continue the pampering, give your face some special attention. Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities, followed by a hydrating face mask. While the mask works its magic, you can relax and enjoy the soothing atmosphere you’ve created. Finish with a nourishing serum and moisturiser to leave your skin glowing and refreshed.

 

10. Create A Tranquil Environment For Rest

Extend your spa experience to your bedroom for a complete day of relaxation. Place a reed diffuser on your nightstand with a calming scent like Nurture to prepare your space for a restful sleep. You can also lightly spray your pillows and sheets with a room and linen mist to surround yourself with a soothing fragrance as you drift off.

 

11. Unwind With A Cup Of Herbal Tea

End your at-home spa day with a cup of herbal tea. Choose a calming blend like chamomile, peppermint, or lavender to relax your mind and body. Sit back in a comfortable chair or bed, take a deep breath and enjoy the lingering effects of your spa experience. The warmth of the tea will help to soothe you from the inside out, completing your day of pampering and relaxation.
