Your spa accessories

Before you start a spa session at home, you will need a few important things. Check the list against your bathroom. Having a bath tub may require all the things. Find what is ideal for your bathroom and you.

* Buy some perfumed candles or tea lights
* Collect some rose petals
* Buy a rose water bottle
* Order some fresh milk

Bathroom to Spa

Before you step in for a bath, you have to prepare your bathroom for the ultimate spa experience. Gather all the stuff on your list. Clear the clutter. Keep the towels on a reachable distance. Place creams, scrubs, soaps, Loofah or brushes on a shelf. Add bath salts or essentials oils to your bathing water. Now place the candles at different places and light them up. If you have tea lights then light them and pour drops of aroma oils in them. You will see the aura of your bathroom transforming right in front of your eyes.

If you have a tub

If you are one of those lucky ones who have a tub in the bathroom, make the most of it. Fill up the tub with a little more than lukewarm water. Pour drops of aromatherapy oils or mentioned table spoons of bath salts as per your liking. Pour some bubble bath liquid in it. Drop some rose petals in the foamy water. You are set for a skin deep dip.


The spa treatment at home

Keep all spa accessories near you. Wear a shower cap. Sit on a tool and start massaging your body with the massaging cream. Once the cream is soaked into your skin, close your eyes and meditate for five minutes. Now use the scrub on your body. Pay attention to toes, knees and elbows. Let it stay for fifteen minutes and once the scrub starts drying pour water on your body.

Use the natural soap on your body and move the loofah in circular motions on your body. Scrub your back and heels with a brush. This helps exfoliate the skin. Once you are done, wash away. Step out of the bathroom and lather on some fresh smelling moisturiser with a few drops of aromatherapy oils. Wear something comfortable and set your creative visualization to work. Begin to de-stress your mind now. Be careful if you do not wish to sleep.

If you have a tub you can take a Cleopatra dip. Pour a litre of milk in the bath tub. People with oily skin can replace it with lemon or rose water. Follow the entire procedure of massaging and scrubbing. Now step into the tub and sink into the pool of beauty. Stay there for at least half an hour. Read a book, play some lilting music or simply meditate while your skin rejuvenates. Once done, wrap into a towel and apply water based or natural ingredient based moisturiser. Dab on some essential oil.

Had a hard day today? Treat yourself like a queen and you will feel like one. Create a spa like experience in your bathroom and bathing will no more be just about scrubbing behind the ears.
