Given current events, staying at home and practicing social distancing is the best thing you can do for the health and safety of yourself, your family, and your community. Although this moment in time may be stressful, there are things you can do at home to mitigate anxiety. While an ideal solution would be to make an appointment at your favorite day spa, there are a few ways you can create a tranquil spa atmosphere at home.

3 Ways to Recreate the Day Spa Experience at Home

1. DIY Masks

If you’re comfortable in the kitchen and feeling crafty, making masks is a fun way to treat yourself. The best ones to make and use will depend on your skin type and concerns, but to make things easy, take inventory of your refrigerator and pantry before looking for recipes. Doing this will prevent you from unnecessarily going out to the grocery store. For example, if you have rolled oats, honey, and yogurt, you already have what you need to make a mask for oily or combination skin.

2. Warm Towels

Before you take a luxurious bath or shower, stick your towels in the dryer for a few minutes, when they’re done, fold or roll them up tightly, so they stay warm until you get out. Clean, freshly dried towels may seem like a small detail, but they’ll make all the difference.

While the treatments, products, and professional staff are what define a day spa, it’s little touches like this that elevate the experience. 

3. Aromatherapy

Fragrances like lavender, vanilla, and jasmine are generally considered to be some of the most relaxing scents, but if you have another one you love, feel free to use that. Alternatively, if your favorite day spa has a particular scent they use, ask if they sell candles, incense, or room sprays for it.
