Every woman must be dreaming of spending little (or more) time in SPA. Do you know how to turn your bathroom into a cosy spot for relaxation? It’s easier than you think.

A long autumn or winter evening. The tub is filled with warm water, infused with scents, foam and rose petals. Numerous candles giving a nice warm light. A good book, a glass of wine and a soft cotton towel. It sounds like a scene of a romantic movie, right?

The fact is that each and every woman can organize such a relaxing evening in her own bathroom. Home SPA is quick and easy to prepare. No professional skills needed. Find out how to do it!

Relaxing bath – benefits

Already in ancient times, baths were valued for their healing properties. No one doubted warm water, aromatic herbs and oils can give excellent relaxation and muscle relief. Adding a few drops of essential oils will turn in into a truly aromatherapeutic bath.

Considering this incredible power for relaxation, healing, calming and soothing nerves – why do we use baths so rarely? I guess people mistakenly think that a home SPA requires lots of time and gadgets. It’s not at all true!

What do you need for a home SPA?

A bathtub is the must-have. Regrettably, the shower owners won’t take advantage of bath benefits. Unless they use a friend’s or family’s bathtub.

Another key thing is products that let you relax as well as condition your body. You don’t need pricey, professional cosmetics designed for SPA salons. The masks, treatments, scrubs and soaps you use on a daily basis will do as well. You can make a natural mask, scrub or a bath bomb by yourself.

The last category focuses on the gadgets which set the right mood and make your home SPA more professional-like. You need warm towels, lots of candles, something warm to lay your head on, quiet music in the background, aromatic incense, fresh flowers. You don’t need to buy everything; try to make use of the things you have at home.

Home SPA step by step

How to create a relaxing bath? It’s really easy. Just follow a few easy steps.

1. Keep the atmosphere relaxed – turn off the ceiling lights, turn on a lamp or put candles around the bathroom to get the perfect mood. Put on some music using your phone or a portable speaker.
2. Put the necessary things close – after getting inside the tub, you won’t feel like getting out so have things you need on a chair nearby: a towel, a book, a glass of wine or juicy smoothie, snacks, massaging tool, a mirror, a hair brush, etc.
3. Control the temperature – a relaxing bath, especially in winter, should be hot so make sure the room is warm and the water temperature is minimum two degrees higher than the body temperature.
4. Make sure you feel comfy – get a pillow or rolled towel to put under the head so you won’t feel like leaving the tub.
5. Get ready for the bath – take off unnecessary clothes and jewelry, comb out the hair and apply an oil treatment, precisely remove all makeup residues and work through a facial mask so your skin can repair during the bath.
6. Create your own version of the bath – this point is high on the agenda. Fill the tub with warm water and add anything you want to let you regenerate and care for skin e.g. milk, honey, vegetable oils, herbal infusions, flower petals, essential oils, lemon, etc.
7. Dip in water and relax – it’s your time so put on some music, take a book and chill out.
