A normal weekend would usually involve vegging out and binge-watching Netflix, yeah? What if you used that free time to DIY a couples spa night. Not only is this an easy way to carve out some time to take care of you, it’s also a quick. Less than hour start to finish which means it’s hard to use the “I don’t have the time” excuse. Dry brushing has many wonderful benefits for your skin. It can help increase circulation, it’s been rumored to help fight cellulite (who doesn’t love that) and it’s a great way to exfoliate.
This is a great way to enhance your bath and give you the benefits of aromatherapy as well. Hot water can be dehydrating , so be sure to apply a rich moisturizer or oil ASAP. Damp , towel-blotted skin absorbs topical products better than bone-dry skin. A non greasy spray -on body oil like Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Oil Mist ($12, ulta.com) or J.R. Watkins Love Body Oil Mist ($15, ulta.com) is a new alternative to creams (but please do not put these on your face!).
Trade Relaxing Head Massages
One person gets the foot rub, while the other gives it. Aromatherapy involves the use of fragrant substances in lotions and inhalants in an effort to positively affect mood and promote better health. After you've applied the aromatherapeutic oils, sit in a comfortable position on the cushion, put on your earphones, and tune out. If you prefer a shower, here are some ideas to make it even more spa-like. Keep playing with the format until you’ve got the spa night you have in your head. This is where candles come in if you’ve got them.
If you’re having several girls at the spa day party, you may want to have extra adults available to help paint their nails and give massages. As well as having many impromptu spa days for our girls, we also hosted a kids spa party for one of Julia’s birthdays and one of Olivia’s birthdays. Skin-care is a crucial part of self-care, so you want to take your time with this when you create a spa-night.
How to Host a Spa Night at Home
For beverages wine, sparkling water or spa water are all good options. Spa water is water that has been infused with fruit, herbs or cucumbers. Create an area where guests can choose from a variety of flavored teas, infused waters, and refreshments to recharge with throughout the event. After that, follow the instructions from the video and take turns giving each other a relaxing massage. In addition to your favorite snacks, make sure to have date night drinks on hand, too. Adjust the lighting –Dim the lighting or add some candles to be surrounded by a soft glow.
This is a cool, fancy addition that you can make to any of your at-home spa treatments. There is also a great opportunity here to pair this treatment with other treatments or other fun things. For example, you can add this treatment to a hot bath or apply and wear your masks during a movie night.
Homemade Bath Salts and Bath Bombs
Although you’re probably feeling pretty mellow by now, keep the effects going by taking it easy and letting yourself unwind. A bit of meditation or quiet reflection is essential to keep your mind off daily stresses and savor the moment before getting back to reality. First of all, make sure you complete all the essential things you scheduled to do for the day. There’s nothing worse than trying to relax and thinking of all the undone chores that still await you. If it’s not possible to complete all the tasks on the day, make sure to write a list so don’t have to worry about forgetting anything.
Alternatively, try adding a custom touch to your gifts like monogrammed robes or slippers that guests can use during the party and take home afterward. Head to YouTube to get some free lessons on how to give a good massage and watch them together so you’re both in the know. After that, you can practice the techniques on each other. You can add ambient lighting with the help of candles, allowing you to keep the room semi-dark while still being able to see each other.
To make sure your spa-themed party is a hit, consider preparing some refreshing snack ideas like colorful fruits or smoothie bowls. Think Swedish massage, aromatherapy, hot stone massage, even reflexology, and deep tissue massage – all tailored for each group’s individual needs. Make a DIY face mask, or store-bought sheet mask, or use one of your favorite products. Slice a cucumber for the eyes as you see in the movies and go in a crisp glass of water. Try a few different masks beforehand to find which you two think is best for the spa night.
However, there are definitely things that can level-up your experience. Your favorite chocolate can be the sweet and you can make someting savory to go with it. When I am having a spa night alone I often choose romantic comedy. If you can’t leave home a DIY spa night at home might be just the self-care you need. In true spa-style, offer plenty of herbal teas for your guests to sip on for the evening.
Hair treatments aren’t always the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a couple’s spa day. However, it can be really fun to put hair masks on each other. You can do something fun like watch a show or play a game while you’re letting the treatment sit. You can then rinse off together to spice things up.
Perfect end to spa night, if you ask me. (Howl is actually my husband don’t @ me). If face masks aren’t already part of your routine and you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry. While you can do a DIY face mask, we have some premade options that will help take away some of the guesswork. And as a bonus, its aromatherapeutic scent is like bathing out in the wilderness on a redwood-filled coastline.
