Homemade Spa

Is Your Skin Feeling Tired?
       Rejuvenate It With a Homemade Spa

The soft glow of lavender-scented candles. A gentle whiff of roses settling lazily into the room. Ahh! The pleasure of a warm, relaxing bath after a long, stressful day! Pamper yourself with a luxurious homemade spa. We tell you how.

Choice is yours:

Before you get all excited at the prospect, know why you want it. All your decisions from oil selection to mood setting depend on it. A massage done in a relaxed setting will make you smile.

Soft and Relaxing:

Creating the right ambience is half the work done when it comes to relaxation. Choose a comfortable but warm place for a self-massage. Be sure that you are not sitting directly on the ground. A massage makes your body warm. Sitting on a cold floor (even in summers) is not recommended.

Masseurs also believe that all your positive energies escape if you are in direct contact with the floor. Now dim the lights and avoid white light. Light scented candles at places around the massage area. You can play up candles and aromatic oils. Lavender is a great favourite to relax. Place neat bunches of your favourite flowers all around the room. Complete the look with soft music playing in the background.

Keep Handy:

Prepare Everything you need in advance so that there is no last-minute rush. Mix your essential oil with water and use a slow burner to keep it warm. If you are planning a tub bath to end the massage, choose aromatic bath salts to pamper yourself further. Fill the bath with hot water just after the massage. Add the bath salts and a few drops of a heady essential oil. Keep a scrubber handy to work on the dead skin.

Work on your body:

Start your self-massage with oil. You can use any body oil or a cream lotion like Ayur's Aloe Vera massage cream, which has moisturising properties and seeps into your skin to make it soft and supple. Rub it all over your body. Massage each of the reachable body parts one by one. The movement of the hand should be in concentric circles which refresh you by making the flow of the blood easier.

Warm Gushes:

After you have given yourself a moisturising massage, start with the warm bath. While your bath tub fills with warm water, massage exfoliating sea salts on your body in a quick-motion scrub. Now immerse yourself in the tub. Add a couple of drops of essential oil and just enjoy!
