In the course of your normal routine, it’s easy to take on a lot of stress without even realizing it. Before you know it, your shoulders ache, you feel like you can’t relax, and you don’t know how to release tension. One of the best steps you can take is to block off some time for yourself and create a spa night in. Below are a few tips for using candles, bath bombs, and other luxuries to create a calming environment.

How to Relax at Home With a Personal Spa Day

1. Light Some Candles

candlesWhen it’s time to relax, it’s hard to beat the dual benefits of candles. Not only do they create soft, ambient lighting, but they also fill the space they’re in with pleasant aromas. You can even choose multiple complementary scents to fill your bathroom or bedroom with a rich smell. Pleasant candle smells, such as lavender and peppermint, are known to calm your mind.

2. Take a Long Soak

On a daily basis, baths might not be a practical luxury. On the days where you can take extra time, run yourself a bath. Lingering in the warm water at the end of a long day is a surefire way to release tension. Amplify the experience by using a scented bath bomb, oils, petals, and bubbles. Use a bar of handmade soap to clean up, and you’ll be smelling and feeling amazing.

3. Care for Your Skin

For many people, stress often manifests on the skin in the form of zits and rashes. You can be proactive against these breakouts by giving your skin some extra attention during your spa day. If you have any face masks, apply them while you soak in the bath. Pair the face mask with some light exfoliation via a sugar scrub to reinvigorate the skin. Top it off with a skin moisturizer. If you have oily to combination skin, opt for an oil-free cream.
