How about EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR AN AT-HOME SPA DAY?

What’s more relaxing and revitalizing than a spa? Spas all over the country offer men-friendly treatments, but these packages can be expensive, time-consuming, and create anxiety. With a few skincare products, you can create a home spa experience in your own bathroom. Treat your face and body to the attention it craves and step out feeling like a new man.

What man doesn’t enjoy immersing himself in a hot, relaxing bath?

Set the mood in your bathroom with scented candles and low lighting. Play your favorite relaxing music at a soft volume and turn off your cell phone. In order to enjoy the complete spa experience, make sure your schedule is clear and free of interruptions.

There’s no reason why you can’t duplicate that relaxing mood at home.

When it comes to at-home spa music, choose soothing sounds that don’t have any lyrics to distract you from the overall experience. Instrumental music might help increase your level of relaxation.

When it comes to DIY-ing relaxing treatments, a little prep goes a long way.

A DIY SPA FACIAL KIT

should include the ingredients you need to perform your own facial. What’s really great is that it isn’t expensive or difficult at all. 

Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to perform a relaxing and cleansing facial from home. 

Cleansing and Exfoliating

First, remove any sweat using warm water and a cleanser that’s gentle to the skin. Wash your face with a product that will not only cleanse, but also moisturize your skin. Aloe, for example, not only moisturizes, but it may also help strengthen and protect the skin.

After cleansing, give your skin a DIY “steam facial” with a warm, essential oil-infused hand towel. This will help open the pores and make your skin more receptive to other skincare products. Here’s how to do the steam facial:

While you prepare to slather on the skin-nourishing mask, run a hot bath and add drops of the essential oil for aromatherapy and relaxing purposes. Essential oils can be found at any health food store or specialty aisles in your local supermarket. Try a few drops of lavender oil to feel tranquil, or mint to feel energized.

Now, fill a bowl with hot (but not too hot) water and add a few drops of the essential oil to it also. Then, wet a hand towel in the water, making sure to wring it out fully before using it. Once the towel is at a comfortable temperature, put it on your face for 2-3 minutes and enjoy its revitalizing aroma as you relax.

Next, it’s time to exfoliate your skin. A DIY sugar scrub is great for that, and you probably already have all the ingredients. Simply mix one tablespoon of sugar with the same amount of a skin-friendly oil, such as almond or avocado oil.

Put a dime-sized dab on your palms and then apply to your cheeks using a gentle, upward, circular motion. Then, wipe off the scrub with a damp washcloth.

Once you’re finished, dry your skin completely. This will make it easier for the ingredients you use next to penetrate the skin and give you the best results.

Use a Face Mask for Smooth, Moisturized Skin

Since you’re in the mood, try a luxurious facial. This will have your skin feeling refreshed and re-energized. Plus, it’s made of gentle, natural ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

First, mix together these natural ingredients:

1 Tablespoon of honey

1 Tablespoon of olive oil

2 Tablespoons of plain yogurt

and finally ~ 1 whole avocado

This particular type of mask can help moisturize your skin, with the fatty acids in the olive oil and avocado adding soothing moisture. The honey and yogurt in the face mask will also help soften skin. Step into your bath. Leave the mask on. Soak in the bath and let the oil vapors transport you to bliss. Try not to spend more than 30 minutes in the bath — you don’t want to fall asleep! Then rinse thoroughly.

The Final Steps: Toning And Moisturizing

Toning your skin helps make sure it’s free of dead skin cells as well as any impurities that might be clogging your pores. It will not only make your skin feel refreshed, it will also get it ready for the last step – moisturizing.

To tone your skin, apply some alcohol-free witch hazel on a cotton ball and gently swipe over your skin for a refreshing boost.

Apply a shaving cream or gel with aloe moisturizers. Leave the product, on for two minutes to provide a smooth surface for shaving and prevent irritation. Shave with a fresh razor blade and rinse the area afterwards.

Now use an after-shave product to soothe and further cleanse skin.  This will also help to tone skin and prevent ingrown hair and shaving bumps.

Finally, you’ll want to apply moisturizer. Put a nickel-sized amount of moisturizer (you can use avocado oil or vitamin E oil which is particularly beneficial for dry skin) on your fingertips and gently massage into your face. It will help lock in your skin’s natural moisture and protect it from the elements. The result will be a healthier, smoother complexion.

You’ve Come This Far! Come on ~ Let’s Do This Pampering Right:

While a facial is a major component of your home spa experience, it’s by no means the only one. If you truly want to spoil yourself – and you should, since you deserve it – there are a couple of other things you could have to make the experience even more rewarding.

One is a handheld body massager. Many spas offer incredibly relaxing body massages. If you don’t have a professional masseuse standing by, this will be the next best thing. A massager not only feels great, it also helps stimulate healthy blood flow. It might also help with any fluid retention.

An Epsom Salt Bath Soak Can Soothe The Body And Mind

An Epsom salt bath is a great way to pamper yourself. Epsom salt delivers some incredible potential benefits, such as helping to relax the muscles. Soaking in an Epsom salt bath might help relieve any tension you’re feeling in your shoulders, neck, back, and other areas.

Using Epsom salt in your bath during your spa day is easy. Re-fill your tub with hot water and measure out about 300 grams of Epsom salt. Pour it in and get in the bath – it’s as simple as that. You could start reaping the benefits in as little as 15 minutes.

Complete Dry Brushing

Start a new beauty ritual that will give your entire body the softest, smoothest skin of your life. It takes between 5-10 minutes, and can also help you destress — while simultaneously giving you a boost of energy first thing in the morning. It’s called dry brushing, and it’s the simple act of brushing your whole body with a soft-bristle brush in long, sweeping strokes.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

As far as things you can do to enhance your Spa Day. For example, you can put a bath bomb in your tub. Just as the name implies, a bath bomb is basically a ball that fizzes when it hits the water. It creates a wonderful, bubbly explosion of color and sensation to help make your bathing experience that much more enjoyable.

Here are some other easy, inexpensive touches you can add to make your spa day even more enjoyable.

• Get a planter and put it in your bathroom. Plants breathe in CO2 and exhale Oxygen. . 
• Grab a fluffy bathrobe and some comfy slippers to wear once you get out of your bath.

These ideas just scratch the surface of the different things you can do that are unforgettable. Whatever you do, make sure you enjoy your home spa experience.

You deserve it.
