At-Home Spa Day Ideas For Men

What brings more relaxation and revitalization than a spa? In the current world, spas have become part of the daily routine for many people. High-rated hotels and private clubs have turned spas into business and main attraction.

Spas offer friendly treatments, but the packages are usually so expensive that you cannot afford it every time you need it. However, just with a few skincare products, you can treat yourself to a spa experience in the comfort of your home, anytime.

So, you do not need to be wealthy to enjoy the benefits. With these at-home spa day ideas, you can promote your relaxation and reduce stress anytime you want.

At-Home Spa Day Ideas

1. Candles

Have some scented candles, preferably vanilla, pine, or chamomile. Scented candles serve as relaxing agents. Place the candles in a safe corner, away from stuff like towels. Light them up 10 minutes before getting into the bathroom to allow the room to be filled with the scent.

2. Music! Music!

Not just any music. Relaxing music! No spa session will be complete without this. Play calming sounds. They may be from the guitar, harp, or ambient music. Music naturally brings inner peace, something you need to have a great experience. Where to get such music? Pandora, Soundcloud, Spotify, and Amazon Music. You can stream them online but not with your phone, to avoid interruptions like phone calls.

3. Shower

A warm shower prepares your skin for the coming treatments. It helps remove dead skin from the body. Apply top-notch exfoliant and rinse off with a body wash. Then dry yourself using a towel and then wear a comfortable robe.

4. Face Mask

After taking a warm shower and your body exfoliated, apply a face to remove dead skin and skin tightening. Have the mask for more than 20 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Facemasks are one of the modern ways you can care for your skin. They are a great way to achieve a relaxed spa experience at home. Some of the most popular mask types you can use include:

● Sheets
● Creams
● Mud
● Gels
● Clay

You need to know the type of face mask you need for your skin for better results.

Hydrating sheet masks work best for dry skin types. Clay and mud-based face masks are suitable for oily and mixed skin types. Enzyme masks work best for the acne-prone skin type, while gel face masks work for sensitive skin. Antioxidant cream is suitable for hyperpigmented skins. After applying the face mask, it is essential to moisturize your skin when it is still damp. It helps the skin remain hydrated.

5. Hot Bath

If you want to relax more, you should probably prefer a hot bath over a shower.\Soak yourself in the tub with water that feels warm to the skin for 20-30 minutes. It makes you relax and feel calm. Hot baths will help elevate your mood, relieve muscle pain, and soothe irritated skin.

6. Rinse-Off

After taking a hot bath for 30 minutes, let the tub drain and take a shower now. This time, you can use a clean washcloth instead of body wash.

7. Moisturize

Get out of the shower, dry your body with a cotton towel, then use a body moisturizer. Eucerin skin calming lotion is an excellent moisturizer and does not feel greasy.

You can apply a different moisturizer on your face depending on your facial skin type. Here are some of the top face moisturizers for men, categorized according to skin type.

8. Trim the Nails

Now pay attention to your nails and clip them using clippers. At this stage, you can also massage your feet for a better experience.

9. Meditation

After completing the steps, it is time for meditation. You can do it anywhere you find more relaxing, on a bed, couch, or while sitting down on the floor. Just make sure you are comfortable.

At-home Spa Treatments

Body Scrubs: For an effective body scrub, mix brown sugar with olive oil and use the scrub in the shower, rubbing it round over the body while taking note of the rough body spots.
