There’s nothing quite like going to the spa. Whether it’s for a massage, facial or simply to relax in the sauna, a trip to the spa is a great way to escape the stress of everyday life. A good spa experience taps into each of the senses and leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated; it has everything you need to switch off, unwind and relax.

If you’ve found yourself dreaming of replicating that feeling at home, you’re in for a treat. While the spa is a pretty special place, there’s nothing stopping you from creating that zen feeling in your own space – in fact, turning your home or bathroom into a temple of tranquility may be easier than you think. The secret is to pay attention to the small details, such as sounds and smells, and create your own relaxing treatments.

It’s difficult to relax and switch off when you’re surrounded by clutter, so creating a home spa experience is a great opportunity to get rid of anything crowding your space. The room or area should feel relaxing and calm, rather than crowded and chaotic – after all, they say a tidy space equals a tidy mind. We recommend echoing an authentic spa aesthetic by keeping things minimal; try to keep the amount of things on display low and, if possible, opt for simple décor.

Some extra spa luxuries to add to the spa experience include a fluffy bath robe, slippers and soft towels – but don’t worry, you can just use your own dressing down and the fluffiest towels you own!

There’s no denying that spas smell great. When done correctly, a spa doesn’t smell overwhelming, but there’s just enough scent flowing through the air to encourage feelings of calmness and tranquility. There are plenty of ways you can recreate the soothing aromas of a spa in your own home, from scented candles to oil burners.

Using a diffuser is one of our favourite ways to make a space smell great. With no wax, smoke or mess to worry about, diffusers are an easy way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy and fill your space with clean, fresh and fragranced air – all through a gentle, soothing mist.

If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to essential oils and scents, we recommend Lavender, Peppermint or Eucalyptus to get your space smelling spa-worthy.

Adding some background music is a great way to set the mood and complement that authentic spa feel. Try to stay away from anything too overpowering; instead, we recommend opting for soothing and calming sounds to relax the mind and soul. Fortunately, there are plenty of relaxing ready-made playlists you can get stuck into on Spotify, so you don’t have to spend time compiling your own.

No matter what you’re using your at-home spa for (whether it’s a relaxing foot soak or a facial), gathering all of your home spa treatments and products will ensure you have everything you need for a relaxing hour or two at the spa. Here are just a few of our favourite at-home treatments to try: 

A hot bath is a great way to relax and unwind – but it’s even better if you fill it with treats that benefit the body and mind. We recommend stocking up on Epsom salt for your bath; it’s great for skin and helps to balance magnesium levels in the body, which promotes wellbeing and aids a better night’s sleep. Simply add some Epsom salt to your bath (around 50g should do) and add a few drops of Ylang Ylang essential oil for a nourishing and relaxing soak. 

Give your skin the ultimate treat with a homemade face mask packed with skin-friendly natural ingredients. Face masks are a great way to remove dirt and grime, clear out dead skin cells and stimulate circulation to the face – all of which will contribute to clear, healthy skin that glows.

Try our easy clay face mask recipe here; it will leave your skin feeling smooth and soft.

Don’t forget to give your hair some TLC too! It’s incredibly easy to make your own hair mask to combat dull hair; all you need is two tablespoons of Coconut Oil and a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. Simply heat the Coconut Oil until it’s melted then combine in a bowl with the Apple Cider Vinegar. Apply evenly to the hair and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes then rinse, following up with your favourite shampoo and conditioner. Your hair will feel smoother and shinier in no time! 

No spa experience is complete without a good massage. Whether you want to give someone a relaxing massage in your home spa or you plan to be massaged yourself, it’s crucial you have a good massage oil set to hand. Investing in nourishing massage oils is the perfect way to upgrade your self-care routine and keep your mind and body in top condition. To echo the authentic spa feel and enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy, we recommend choosing massage oils infused with essential oils.
