You can be refreshed by spending time on yourself on a Sunday to have a good week ahead. The spa-like experience at home does not need any fancy equipment or costly treatments and only a bit of will and natural ingredients to introduce peace and luxury into your home. Here is how to make your house a place of relaxation and nurture using basic steps and herbal beauty routines.

Set the Scene with Soothing Ambience

Begin by converting your place of residence into a relaxing haven. Light candles or dim the lights, light candles with a drop of lavender, sandalwood or chamomile-scents which are known to relax. Play soothing, quiet music or sounds of nature, such as running water or birds to help be mindful and less stressed. Clean the place and prepare soft towels and your favorite robes to make it unique and welcoming.

Begin with a Warm Herbal Bath or Shower

Warm bath is an immediate relaxer, particularly when it is added with herbs. Put your bath water in dried rose petals, lavender flowers or chamomile flowers to get a relaxing smell and softening effect on the skin. Instead, take a warm herbal bath with plant-based body washes with their neem, tulsi or aloe vera as ingredients to gently wash my body and relax my mind and body.

Exfoliate and Nourish Your Skin

You can also enjoy your body after bathing with a light exfoliating herbal paste made of ground oats, sugar, or coffee mixed with some soothing oils such as coconut or almond oil. This cleanses away the dead skins and enhances blood flow to bring out smooth and radiant skin. Apply a thick body moisturizer or oil that has shea butter, calendula or jojoba oil to fix the moisture and make your skin shine.

Treat Your Face to a Herbal Mask

In any spa ritual, a lot of facial care is necessary. Use a natural face mask, prepared using such ingredients as turmeric, honey and sandalwood or fuller earth with rose water. These ingredients are detoxifying, brightening and refreshing to tired skin. Wear the mask between 10-15 minutes as you rest and then wash off with lukewarm water. Complete with a toner and light moisturizer that is high in aloe vera or green tea extract to cleanse and moisturize your skin.

Indulge in Hair and Scalp Care

Don’t forget to take care of your hair. Applied to promote relaxation and healthy growth of hair, massage your scalp with warm herbal oils such as bhringraj or amla. Before shampooing with herbal cleansers that are mild in nature, wrap your hair in warm towel as soon as time permits to ensure that your scalp and your hair strands are deep nourished. Apply a natural conditioner or aloe vera rinse to finish and add shine and softness.

Close with Mindful Relaxation

Time to finish your day at the spa with the right way you have a quiet moment or gentle stretching. Take warm herbal tea like chamomile or peppermint to hydrate and relax internally. Such conscious pause improves the relaxing effects of your spa time and makes its advantages a part of your week to come.

Use these easy steps and herbs to create a spa-like experience at home and take care of your entire self. It is a gesture of kindness that you can generously do to yourself now and then, a reminiscence that you need to take care of yourself to achieve glowing health and enduring beauty.
