If your skin is feeling tired, you can
rejuvenate it in your own homemade spa! Add the soft glow and fragrance
of lavender-scented candles and a gentle whiff of roses floating through
the room. Ah, there’s nothing like the pleasure of a warm, relaxing bath after a long, hectic day! Here’s how to pamper yourself with a luxurious homemade spa. Before you get excited at the prospect of your own spa, know what you want to use it for. The choice is yours, and all your decisions, from selecting the oil to the setting and mood, depend on it. A proper massage in a relaxed settling will make you smile and feel content. Half the work is creating the right ambience, such as a soft and relaxing atmosphere. Next, choose a warm, comfortable place for a self-massage. Don’t sit directly on the ground, or on a cold floor, even if it is summer, as a massage should make your body warm to relax it. Also, masseurs believe that your positive energies escape if you sit in direct contact with the floor. Next, dim the lights. Avoid having white light in your massage area. Light scented candles at various places around the massage area. In fact, you can play up candles and essential aromatic oils. Lavender is a great oil for promoting relaxation. Keep what you need handy. Prepare everything you want in advance to avoid any last minute rush. Mix your selected essential oils with water and put the mixture on a slow burner to keep it warm. If you are planning a bath after the massage, you can add aromatic bath salts to the water to pamper yourself even more. Right after the massage, fill the tub with hot water and add the bath salts along with a few drops of a heady essential oil. Sandalwood is one of the all-time favorites of many people. Use a scrubber to exfoliate the skin. When working on your body, begin your self-massage with oil. You can use any oil or a cream lotion like Ayur's Aloe Vera, a massage cream with moisturizing properties. It seeps into your skin and makes it soft and supple. After rubbing it all over your body, massage each reachable part of your body. Move your hand in concentric circles, as this will refresh you by increasing the circulation of the blood. After giving yourself a moisturizing massage, it’s time to take a bath. While the bathtub is filling up with warm water, exfoliate your skin by massaging sea salts into it with quick scrubbing motions. Now get in the tub, add a couple of drops of essential oil, and enjoy yourself! For a rosy glow, boil fresh rose petals and use rose water instead of plain water for skin treatments. To prepare a rose facemask, grind a handful of rose petals into a paste. Apply this paste on clean skin and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then wash your face and see your complexion glow.
