A home spa is a perfect way to relax and regenerate without having to leave home. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget about ourselves and our well-being, so it's worth finding a moment to unwind and take care of our bodies. Such rituals not only improve the appearance of our skin, hair, and nails, but also allow for moments of peace and stress reduction. To create the perfect spa experience in your own home, simply prepare the space, focus on skincare, and create a relaxing atmosphere.
WHY IS IT WORTH CREATING A HOME SPA?
Everyone deserves a moment of relaxation at the spa every now and then. A relaxing bath, a pleasant massage, sensual scents, and a cozy atmosphere will help you unwind body and soul, regaining balance and harmony. You don't have to go to a professional spa and wellness salon and spend money on relaxing treatments; you can treat yourself to them in the comfort of your own home. All you need is an hour of free time and a few fragrant Orientana cosmetics .
HOW TO CREATE YOUR HOME SPA?
A spa experience in the comfort of your own home isn't complete without two essential treatments: a bath and a massage. A relaxing bath surrounded by candles and accompanied by soothing music will cleanse and relax the body, calm the mind, soothe the skin, and improve your mood. Massage, in turn, will nourish and firm the skin, improve blood circulation, and aid regeneration. Depending on your needs, you can also add other treatments using natural or homemade cosmetics, such as a scrub, oil blend, or mask.
Preparing the space
To fully enjoy your home spa, it's important to create the right atmosphere. It's best to choose a place where you can relax and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The bathroom is the most popular space, but you can also design your bedroom or living room as a relaxation zone.
Lighting is crucial – ideally, it should be warm and soft. Candles, LED lamps, or lanterns can be used to create a pleasant atmosphere. Aromatherapy can also be an additional element – essential oils with the scent of lavender, sandalwood, or citrus will help you relax and create a luxurious spa atmosphere. Music also plays an important role – gentle sounds of nature, classical relaxing music, or calming instrumental melodies will help you reach a deeper state of relaxation.
Don't forget about comfortable accessories like a soft bathrobe, fluffy towels, and warm socks. For complete comfort, it's worth preparing a relaxing drink, such as herbal tea, lemon and mint water, or a homemade fruit smoothie.
Skin and hair preparation
Before beginning a deep skincare routine, it's important to cleanse your face and body. Makeup removal is crucial for your cosmetics to work effectively. You can use a makeup remover oil, then wash your face with a gentle cleanser. The next step is a face and body exfoliation, which will remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for the next steps.
It's also worth preparing your hair. Before bathing, you can apply an oil to your hair, such as Ayurvedic Therapy or Amla Oil, to moisturize and strengthen it. After about 40 minutes, you can wash your hair.
A relaxing bath
A bath is one of the most important elements of a home spa. The water should be around 37–39°C to relax your muscles and provide relaxation. You can add bath salts, milk and honey, or a few drops of Orientana oil.
While bathing, it's worth taking time to unwind. You can play some soft music, light some candles, and close your eyes, listening to the relaxing sounds. Reading a book or practicing breathing techniques can also help calm your mind.
WHICH AYURVEDIC COSMETICS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN?
If you want to take care of your skin during your at-home spa, after removing your makeup, you should start with a thorough cleanse – you can do this with a homemade exfoliator. Add olive oil to fine sugar and massage your face. After cleansing, it's time for your favorite toner and proper hydration and nourishment – apply the Rose and Pandan Toner to your skin, and once absorbed, the Rose Facial Oil. Spread the oil slowly using gentle, circular motions. This massage will stimulate microcirculation and tone and strengthen the skin. Don't rinse it off; massage in and enjoy the moment.
You can also apply a mask when your facial skin is warm after bathing and more receptive to absorbing active ingredients. You can make a moisturizing mask with honey and yogurt, a nourishing one based on oils, or a cleansing clay mask at home.
WHICH AYURVEDIC COSMETICS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE BODY?
To pamper your body in your own home spa, it's worth using Ayurvedic skincare products like butters, balms, or oils after bathing. We recommend lemongrass butter or natural Indian jasmine body oil. It's best to massage this product into your body immediately after bathing, while your skin is still warm and slightly damp, using slow, harmonious movements. This will relax tense muscles and stimulate the skin's intensive renewal. You can also use a breast oil, and its beautiful scent will stay with you for a long time.
An additional element of a home spa experience can be a full-body massage. You can use Indian jasmine or coconut oil to massage your hands, feet, or neck, which will help relax tense muscles and improve circulation.
HOW DO AYURVEDIC COSMETICS CARE FOR THE SENSES?
Ayurvedic cosmetics have the advantage of not only nourishing and regenerating the body but also having an aromatherapeutic effect on the soul, soothing the nerves, calming the mind, and inducing a state of blissful peace. This is facilitated by unique, oriental scents:
- the soothing aroma of Indian jasmine
- sensual aroma of sandalwood
- the calming scent of Japanese rose
The scents of Ayurvedic cosmetics last for quite a long time, spreading a relaxing aura around us and taking care of our positive mood.
Relaxation after care
After completing your treatment, it's worth giving yourself a moment to relax. It's worth putting on a comfortable robe, sitting on the couch or in bed, and enjoying the peace and quiet. You can drink tea, listen to music, read a book, or simply close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Home SPA in an express version
If you don't have time for a full spa ritual, you can opt for a shorter version. Simply take a quick, relaxing shower with a scrub, apply a face mask, and apply an aromatic body lotion. You can also massage your hands and feet and sip on some herbal tea for a quick sense of relaxation.
A home spa is an excellent way to regenerate your body and mind. Regular skincare rituals help maintain healthy skin and hair, while also promoting relaxation and reducing stress. The key to an effective home spa is properly preparing the space, carefully selecting cosmetics, and focusing on taking a moment for yourself. Whether you choose a full ritual or a quick version, your body and mind will thank you for this time of relaxation. And remember – you have the right to rest!
