Your Home, Your Own, Your Spa

Words by Nana Valdueza

For those who have been counting the days, most people have been cooped up at home close to a year and while we have all adjusted to the new set up of remote working, no one can deny that we miss those things we actually look forward to when going out—dining with friends, watching movies, traveling out of town, and yes, booking an appointment to your go-to spa place.

But—who said you can't actually have that relaxing and peaceful feeling you get at the spa right at home? With a few products on hand and some tips from us, we're certain you'll be setting aside an hour or two to actually have your very own spa session.

Get candles that give that feeling of peace into your being. If you are in an emotional mood, light a wood-scented candle. Make sure you keep the room dim to put you into that calm mindset.

Top it off by playing some soft, meditating sounds in the background. There are loads of tracks available on Spotify for sure if you're not sure where to start. For some, that natural white noise can go a long way to keep you relaxed.

a glass of wine or a cup of tea

If you feel like taking an extra step towards relaxation, sit on your favorite comfortable chair in your favorite little nook at home and pour yourself a glass of wine. A cup of hot tea will work too if the warmth helps calm your inner thoughts.

We suggest doing your favorite activities so you can enjoy every passing moment. Grab a book, and start reading. Maybe a sketchpad to draw something abstract.

The most important part of this process is to let the inner self relax.

Give your tresses a treat by deep-conditioning your hair. We suggest finding a product that suits your hair type or need and go hours soaking the good stuff from roots toends.

Products that contain Argan oil or collagen help build up dry roots or even tame tangled hair. Choosing a scented one is a good option, too. So lather, rub, and massage the product on your scalp. Don't forget to cover it with a hair cap and let the hair mask do its magic.

Exfoliating your skin every now and then is indeed a healthy habit. Soaking in bath with warm water actually helps open your skin's pores, making it easier for you to remove dirt as you massage and scrub.

Complete the whole process with circular motioned massages around those tired muscles and then rinse.

After a good 15 minutes or so in the bath or shower, exfoliate your skin with a body scrub or a shower oil, whichever you prefer. Both products are a good choice for thorough cleansing.

Exfoliating with a body scrub helps remove dirt and sebum at the surface of your skin, while a shower oil or a body oil softens dry skin and calms it as you massage and lather.

Don't you just love when you get to have your facial for that spa appointments from before? Believe it or not, at-home facials can be as relaxing with just three things to remember: Cleanse. Exfoliate. Mask.

Cleanse. Get a good cleanser to start with. Most importantly, your cleanser must fit your skin type. Washing the face thoroughly with the right product will give you a good clean canvas, making the next two steps even more effective.

Exfoliate. Exfoliate with a good facial scrub to help scrape off excess oil and dirt. It also helps open up the skin so you can get all the good stuff when you apply your facial mask next.

Mask. With the facial mask, choose a product that addresses your facial issues.
If you are having breakouts due to oily skin, a clay mask or a Vitamin C-rich mask will do the trick.
Anything with hyaluronic acid repairs dry to dehydrated skin.
Masks with peptides or antioxidants can assist in lessening thosefine lines.


After a very relaxing bath, it's time to end this little session of yours by moisturizing your skin. The goal is to hydrate yourself from head to toe.

Apply an ample amount of hydrating body lotion—don't miss out on your nails, too. When applying moisturizer on your face, give yourself a facial massage with a jade roller or a gua sha to activate good circulation and de-puff your face. You may add a few drops of serum too onto your moisturizer to help enhance the process too.

Finally, pump a few drops of hair oil to your newly conditioned hair as an added treat.
