Declutter, set mood with lighting, music for a relaxing home spa
First, declutter your space! It is essential to calm the chaotic mind. A cluttered environment can lead to a cluttered mind. Make sure the space is clean and tidy. Remove anything that doesn't bring you joy. Think Marie Kondo, but with a desi twist!
Next, set the mood with soft lighting, aromatherapy, or soothing music. These elements help you to relax with ease. Dim lights, candles, and some fragrant oils go a long way. After all, we aim to bring serenity and peace in our daily life. We will be setting the mood for relaxation.
Make sure you have everything ready before we begin. We can also turn up some relaxing music, something that calms our minds. With these small steps, we are creating a beautiful and relaxing home spa.
Skincare routine: cleanse, exfoliate, mask, moisturize for self-care and glowing skin
Now, let’s move down to the heart of your home spa -- skincare! Start with a gentle face cleanser. One that suits your skin type. Using raw milk and honey is also a natural and nourishing way to cleanse your face. It is light on the skin and does not harm.
Then, use a gentle scrub or use a homemade ubtan. Prepare it with gram flour, turmeric, and yogurt. This gentle mixture gently exfoliates the skin and leaves it feeling refreshed. Following this, indulge in a relaxing face mask. Multani mitti, or Fuller's Earth, is a classic for a reason!
Mix it with rose water for a cooling and purifying treatment. Remember to rinse it thoroughly with warm water and then pat your face dry with a soft towel. Also make sure you moisturize your skin with a serum that suits your skin the best.
Regular skincare routines are more than just beauty maintenance; it's also a form of self-care that helps you manage stress. Do this every week, and you're sure to notice the subtle difference.
Ayurvedic bath ritual for relaxation: Epsom salts, oils, scrub, and hydration
Next, Ayurvedic bath awaits. Taking an Ayurvedic bath is so relaxing. Add some Epsom salts to draw out toxins and soothe tired muscles. You can also add a few drops of essential oils. Lavender or sandalwood are good choices for promoting relaxation.
As the warm water engulfs you, feel tension melt away. Use a gentle body wash. You can also prepare a homemade scrub using sugar and coconut oil. Massage it onto your body in circular motions to exfoliate and improve the circulation.
After your bath, hydrate your skin with a nourishing body lotion or oil. Massaging it for sometime would be extremely helpful. Don’t forget to pay attention to your feet! They carry you through the day, so give them some love with a foot scrub and moisturizer.
Light some incense sticks, and let the aroma fill the house with happiness.
Care for your hair with massage, oil, masks, and gentle drying for healthy, shiny locks
Turn our attention to our hair. Often ignored in the daily grind, our hair deserves the same amount of care as our skin. Start with a relaxing head massage using warm coconut oil or almond oil. Use gentle circular motions to stimulate the scalp and promote blood circulation.
Leave the oil for at least an hour, or even overnight, for maximum benefits. Then, wash your hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner. You can also try a DIY hair mask made with yogurt, honey, and aloe vera for added nourishment.
Remember to rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticles and give your hair a healthy shine. After washing, gently dry your hair with a soft towel to prevent breakage. This simple act of hair care can transform your experience. It promotes not only healthy hair, but also peace.
Nourish body with herbal tea & healthy snacks for relaxation
Finally, relaxation and nutrition goes hand in hand. Nourish your body from the inside out with herbal tea and healthy snacks. A cup of chamomile or ginger tea can soothe your nerves and promote relaxation.
Keep a bowl of fresh fruits like oranges or berries nearby for a healthy and refreshing snack. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks, as they can actually increase stress levels. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and flush out toxins.
Remember, true relaxation comes from within, so treat your body with kindness and respect. A well-nourished body is a happy body, and a happy body is more conducive to a relaxed mind. So, sip your tea, munch on some fruits, and bask in the glory of your newly created home spa!
