Everyone needs a spa day, right? But if you don’t know where to start keep reading so I can give you all the steps to have an amazing one! Since this is a spa day, I would recommend doing this over the weekend or whenever you have a day off! Also, you can do this in any order you prefer this is just what I think this the most convenient. Ok, let’s get into it!
Get Your Space Ready!
The first step of your spa day would be to create a relaxing ambience! Start by cleaning up a bit and lighting some candles to set the mood! Some relaxing scents such as lavender, rose, or vanilla are great options, I will have some linked at the bottom! While you are getting your area ready play some music in the background!
Mani-Pedi
In my opinion a mani-pedi should be the first thing you do, just so that the nails don’t get in the way of the other things you do. Start by removing the old nail polish from your feet and hands. After that, file and trim your nails, then apply the nail polish on your feet then move onto your fingers! While you are waiting for your nails to dry read a book or watch a movie!
Take A Shower or Bath!
When your nails are dry hop in the shower or start a bath! While you are in the shower make sure to wash your hair, because this relates to our next step! Get some bath salts or use a body scrub to get relaxed! Read my article here on how to make sure homemade sugar scrubs if you don’t have one! While you in the bathroom make sure to also take off any makeup!
Hair Mask!
While you are doing this let’s put on a hair mask so that your hair is silky soft and smells amazing when you are done! I recommend the Shea Moisture hair mask, it makes my hair so soft and smells like coconuts! I will have it linked down below! Make sure to read how long you can keep your hair mask in so that you know when to go back to take a shower to take it out. With the shea moisture one I leave it in for around 2 hours!
Facial Steamer
After you have taken a shower a facial steam is just what you need, if you have one use a facial steamer! If you don’t that’s ok, you can also use steam from a bowl of hot water! This blog post does a great way of explaining how to do so safely!
Face Mask
Right after you are done with your facial steam apply a face mask! This is perfect if you want your skin to glow and feel soft right after! Also using the face mask right after a facial steam will remove any toxins that have been penetrated into your skin! This is because the facial steam opens up the pores, so the face mask will take whatever is on the surface of your skin out! Continue your show or movie!
Take Another shower!
Now, wash out the hair mask and change into something comfy! After you get out of the shower do your night skincare routine, such as applying any creams or serums to your face! Don’t forget to also apply any hair products that you use after you wash your hair! I would also recommend putting lotion on your skin to feel soft!
You are done, you did it! It’s always important to take extra time out of your day, and if not week to make sure you are taking care of yourself! I hope you had amazing time during your spa day and now feel calm and relaxed to continue your week! I will have all the things mentioned linked below! I hope you have a great rest of your day!
