Having a wellness routine has never been as important as it is today. Sometimes it might seem unobtainable to have a spa day- however, we found a solution! Here you will find how to create an at-home spa for a relaxing and luxurious experience.
The idea that personal wellness and pampering is a luxurious habit that only super-wealthy people get to do is definitely outdated.
Nowadays, everyone can turn their bathroom into an at-home spa and enjoy all the benefits of these relaxing moments.
-PREPARE YOURSELF TO RELAX
We spend most of our life’s time stressing. It is actually sad when we think about it.
A great way to combat these stressful habits is by creating a safe zone where you can be totally relaxed. An at-home spa moment will really help you archive that state of mind!
Besides a pampering spa routine, meditation can also be a great way to relax and become one with our mind.
If you don’t feel like meditating and prefer a more active exercise, try to work out regularly. That helps a lot when dealing with stress!
Now that you completely cleared your mind and are fully relaxed, it is time to prepare all the zen spa ambience.
– CREATE THE SPA AMBIENCE IN YOUR BATHROOM

The temperature of your bathroom should be warm, just like the water in your bathtub.
Visually the ambience should be relaxing. Make sure your bathroom is tidy and clean. Add some fluffy foam to your bathwater, and light a candle; this will help create that zen vibe. – Plus, it will add that relaxing smell that we all want to have in a spa experience, activating, this way other sense.
Calming music will also help you achieve a spa-like experience.
Last but not least, to activate the last sense, you can also make something to drink or eat during your self-care session. A glass of wine, tea, cold water with lemon are very good options.
To make the task of replicating the spa ambience, we chose two items that will definitely help you with that!
First of all, these OUAI Chill Pills (1). If you never heard about them, they are bath bombs that provide a dreamy escape into a tranquil, spa-like experience. They are infused with notes of jasmine and rose to create the ultimate relaxing, sensory environment, while jojoba, safflower, and hemp seed oil calm, soothe, and hydrate the skin.

– DO BEAUTY TREATMENTS AS IF YOU WERE IN A SPA
A spa experience has to have some kind of beauty treatment! We recommend you this routine: Cleanse, mask, massage, apply serum, and moisturize.
1- Cleansing
