In today’s world, spa treatments are a way to treat your body and mind. They’re often seen as an indulgence or luxury item, but they can also effectively treat certain conditions. The spa industry is growing by leaps and bounds year after year – in 2020, it was worth $24 billion! That’s not too surprising when you consider the many health benefits spa treatments offer.
From alleviating stress to improving skin tone, there are many reasons people visit spas these days. For example, you can use a lavender spa set or things like Spa Luxetique. And while spa visits may sometimes feel like a splurge, they can save you money in the long run because of all the other benefits they provide (like helping with chronic pain).
Here are some tips on how you can do a spa treatment at home with natural ingredients.
1. Lavender spa set
You can do a body spa at home with lavender by using the essential oils from this plant. Lavender oil can be used in a few spa treatments, but a lavender-infused salt scrub is one of the most popular.
To do this spa treatment, you need:
* 2 cups coarse sea salt or Epsom salt * 10 drops of lavender essential oil * 2 tbsp almond oil (optional) * Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. In the shower, mix about 2 tbsp of the mixture with some water to create a paste. Scrub your entire body, then rinse. You can also add almond oil before scrubbing if you’d like an even more intensive spa treatment for your skin.
2. Lavender and a warm honey bath
If you want to do a spa treatment that will relax your entire body, then the spa tub is for you. If you’re new to spa treatments and aren’t sure which one to choose, this soak is very soothing and beneficial for the skin.
To make your spa tub:
* 1-2 tbsp dried lavender * 1/4 cup honey * Warm water
In a large bowl, combine the lavender and honey. Fill your spa tub with hot water – do not use boiling water as it may burn you! When the water level is comfortable for bathing, add some mixtures until bubbles form on top. It might take a little more or less of the ingredients depending on your spa tub. Simply relax and enjoy the spa treatment!
3. Lavender body pain relief massage
If you have chronic body pain, a spa treatment is definitely for you. A few spa treatments can help improve blood circulation and ease muscle tension, so if you want to give spa treatments a try, you should do this one.
To make your spa tub:
* 2 drops lavender essential oil * 3 drops frankincense essential oil * 2 tbsp carrier oil (e.g., avocado, jojoba or coconut oil) * Mix all the ingredients and store in a small glass jar with a lid. Massage the spa treatment all over your body, focusing on any painful areas.
4. Lavender-cucumber facial spa pack
Dead skin cells tend to accumulate on the face after a long day’s work or an active weekend. This spa treatment will help remove dirt deposits and free the pores of your face to make room for new cell growth.
To make your spa tub:
1. Crush 2 cucumbers to extract the juice. Combine this with 1 tbsp yogurt and 1 tsp honey in a bowl.
2. In another small bowl, combine 1 tsp chopped almonds, 1 tbsp oatmeal and hot water (enough that it’s almost boiling, but not quite). Leave both mixtures to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
3. Add the lavender essential oil and mix everything. Apply it on your face and neck, then leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it off with warm water.
5. Lavender foot spa bath
This spa treatment will help soothe tired feet and improve blood circulation after a long day’s work.
To make your spa tub:
1 tbsp olive oil * 2 drops lavender essential oil * 4 drops frankincense essential oil * 1 drop tea tree essential oil Add all the ingredients together and mix thoroughly. Use this spa treatment once a week to improve blood circulation in your legs and feet.
6. Lavender face spa mask
This spa treatment is great for oily skin because it helps soothe irritated skin and reduce oil secretion in the process.
To make your spa tub:
* 1 tablespoon honey * 1 tablespoon lemon juice * 2 drops lavender essential oil * Combine all ingredients, apply to the face, and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing off.
7. Lavender and oatmeal spa pack
This spa treatment will help calm irritated skin, reduce redness and treat acne at the same time. People of all ages can use it because it’s completely natural!
To make your spa tub:
* 1 tablespoon oatmeal * 1 tablespoon honey * 1 tablespoon lemon juice * 2 drops lavender essential oil Combine all ingredients until you get a thick spa pack. You should apply it to your face and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing it off.
