I received product to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.
What woman doesn’t LOVE going to the spa? I go EVERY chance that I get, but with a day at the spa costing as much as a weekend away, it’s not as often as I like. So, I do what many of my friends do. I pamper myself at home. While the football game is playing in the living room (meaning Mr. S is occupied), I slip into the bathroom for a self-indulgent day. The experience isn’t an expensive one and you don’t need an arsenal of gadgets or equipment.
At the core….it’s about allowing ourselves enjoy the time and also taking a break from the day to day world that can cause stress and anxiety.
So…brew your tea or uncork a bottle of wine, get comfortable, light some candles, move your music into the bathroom. and tell the family you are officially unavailable to sunset.
Here are my FAVORITE at-home spa day secrets that go beyond the usual.
1. Steam Facial and massage
- On your stove top place chamomile, lavender or rose petals in a large pan of lightly boiling water.
- Remove from the heat and place on the counter.
- Place a towel over your head and tent it over the pan allowing the steam to collect around your face (as close as possible to the pot will be comfortable), and inhale the fumes.
- Massage each facial area in a circular movement and let the tension disappear.
2. Body wash and hot bath
- Although a regular warm shower can dry your skin, using a silkening body wash like Suave’s Moroccan Infusion Body Wash with Moroccan Argan Oil can give you silky beautiful skin when you’re in the tub
- Enjoy replenishing your skin when you step out by spraying Suave Moroccan Infusion dry body oil to your wet skin.
- Clean and unwind ….
3.Dry brush and herbal steam shower
- Scandinavians have the spa down to a science.
- One thing they understand best is dry brushing the skin!
- Not only can it gently exfoliate, but dry brushing enhances circulation to the skin and facilitates toxin release.
- Use a wash cloth or a natural bristle brush designed for the skin.
- Take a warm shower to open your pores, spray on some Suave Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil and relax.
- Real Time in the water itself may be minimal. What you really looking for is the warm, moist air.
4. Hot Towel Wrap
- This is great AFTER you’ve given yourself a spa treatment, or simply by itself.
- The towels should be very warm and very wet but not completely humid.
- Wrap towels around your head, hands, neck or feet for as long as comfortable.
- Add cucumber slices over your eyes (refrigerate them first – they’ll be so refreshing)
5. Foot Bath
- This can be as simple as good bath salts and hot water in a large roasting pan or as high-tech as the last whirlpool foot bath.
- Have you ever wondered why such a simple foot massage makes you feel almost as good as a full body rub-down?
- Trigger points!!!
- Little pampering points = great relaxation.
6. Scalp Massage
- The head is full of trigger points, so take advantage!
- I love using a shower head with a pleasant pulsation, you can also try one of those inexpensive scalp massagers.
- The problems of the day will suddenly seem a million miles away
- Add a warm facial massage and neck massage, and you will be in your happy place.
7. Soften
- Once you’ve relaxed and are clean and feeling wonderful, keep that skin that you just pampered in it’s best condition.
- Slather on some Suave Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion with Moroccan Argan Oil for a silky experience with a luxurious Awapuhi Ginger scent that helps you relax.
NOTE: Suave products can be picked up at CVS, Walgreens, WalMart, Target and a host of other places for a FRACTION of what the “other brands” cost.

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

A large percentage of of whatever you point out is supprisingly appropriate and it makes me wonder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This article really did turn the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes. But there is actually one factor I am not really too comfortable with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual central idea of your position, permit me see exactly what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Very well done.
