With These Home Spa Treatments It’s nice to treat yourself to a good spa day, but it can be costly. So instead, create the same treatments from the much-less-expensive comfort of your own home. Light some candles, grab your robe, and kick back with these home spa activities. Your Spa Space The best way to get the most out of your spa day is to set up your space to create a relaxing environment. Declutter the area you plan to relax in, grab your supplies so they’re on standby, light a few candles, and add some mood music. That way, it feels like a true spa room. Kick Back and Relax

At-Home Treatments Now that your spa room is set, it’s time to indulge in different treatments!

Oatmeal and Honey Facial Mask: These simple ingredients make for a wonderful face mask that leaves your skin super smooth and soft.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix 1/4 cup of water, 1/2 cup of uncooked oatmeal, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 tbsp of pure honey, and cook for 5–6 minutes. Stir frequently, and when the time is up, remove

from heat and allow to cool. Massage a semi-thick layer of pure honey over your clean face and neck before applying the mask.

Apply the mask with upward strokes, lie back,

and relax for 15–20 minutes. You can remove the mask with warm water and a soft facial cloth!

Honey and Lemon Foot Soak: This moisturizing and antibacterial foot soak is the perfect remedy for a day on your feet.

All you need for this treatment is 1/2 cup of honey, 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 lemon sliced into thin rounds. You can either fill a large container or your bathtub with warm water, pour in the honey and apple cider vinegar, and mix! Then, top the water with the lemon slices — and soak your feet for 15–20 minutes. Products for At-Home Spa Days With these products, you can turn your home into a luxurious spa-like sanctuary.
