Have A Spa Day At Home

There is nothing more relaxing than a trip to the spa and being pampered and beautified without lifting a finger. At Nakin we dedicate our work to developing award winning natural skincare products for the face, but we love pampering the rest of our body too. When it is hard to get to the spa because of lack of time or finances, then how about creating your own at home spa day instead, for the ultimate destressing me-time experience. 

Taking a home spa day can be a wonderful way to relax and rejuvenate without the need to leave the comfort of your home. It allows for a personal retreat where you can unwind, detoxify, and pamper yourself at your own pace. Setting aside time for a home spa day can significantly contribute to reducing stress, enhancing skin health through deep cleansing and hydration, and promoting mental well-being by providing a peaceful environment for meditation and reflection. Additionally, indulging in self-care routines at home can be an economical alternative to expensive spa visits, making wellness accessible anytime you need a pick-me-up. Read on to see our advice for creating your own home spa day.

Begin your at home spa day by creating the right setting. Find a calm room where you will not be disturbed. Play some relaxing music and create a gorgeous scent with a diffuser. You can choose different essential oils depending on the time of day and how you would like to feel. Mint is good to wake you up in the morning and rosemary helps with an afternoon slump, or use lavender and sandalwood for something more relaxing. There is so many to choose from and now you have set the scene you can be transported to your favourite place. Get some fluffy towels and start pampering the face and body.

The first step is to steam your face and soak your feet. This is nice to do together for a double therapy and to save time. You can use a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head to steam your face and clean grime from deep down or invest in a facial steamer machine. These are well worth it as the steaming is more precise and there is no risk of burning your skin. Soak feet and ankles in a bowl of warm water and include a few drops of essential oil. Feet really benefit from some special treatment as they work so hard for us. There are lots of pre-blended essential oil products that can save you the job of working out which essential oils to use and the benefits that they have. Sometimes a nice bath covers the step of mildly steaming the face and cleansing the body at the same time. If it is nearly bedtime, then adding a deep sleep bath oil with aromatherapy oils can make it really luxurious and relaxing.

Before bathing dry body brush the skin using an expert video for guidance on how to do it. Dry body brushing, a traditional wellness practice, offers numerous benefits for skin health and overall well-being. Regularly brushing the skin not only exfoliates dead skin cells, promoting smoother and brighter skin, but also stimulates the lymphatic system, aiding in the elimination of toxins. Furthermore, it can enhance blood circulation, potentially reducing the appearance of cellulite and encouraging skin rejuvenation. Beyond its physical advantages, the routine of dry body brushing can serve as a meditative practice, fostering a moment of mindfulness and self-care in one’s daily routine.

If you really do love at home spa treatments, then it might be worth investing in an infrared sauna. They are an investment but can be worth it if you will use it lots. Infrared saunas have many benefits as the infrared heat is detoxing and able to reach deep down into skin, to boost cellular function and circulation.

Next treat your face and neck to a facial spa treatment using Nakin’s Face Care Products which are made with stunning plant actives that naturally enhance and rejuvenate skin. Our anti-ageing face products have everything that you need for a clean beauty routine. Begin by cleansing using the Advanced Cleansing Milk or Rejuvenating Face Wash to remove make-up and grime, then straight after cleansing use our Purifying Face Toner  or Exfoliating Radiance Tonic to revive and detox skin. After cleansing treat the face and neck to our sublime treatments including our potent Performance Face Serum for lines, damage and uneven skin tone; as well as our Revitalising Face Oil which you can massage into the face using hands or a facial massage tool. Refresh eyes with our Eye Cream Complex for hydration, dark circles, wrinkles and puffing. The next step is moisturising skin for nourishment, hydration and protection. Nakin’s Matt Formula Face Cream is for oily, normal, combination and sensitive skin. The Active Dew Face Cream is for dry, normal, combination and sensitive skin. Finish your facial treatment with the Lip Treatment Balm which comforts even very dry lips. 

Finish your at home spa experience with a head and body massage. There are so many amazing manual and electric self-massage tools out there, and many of them are much more affordable than they once were, costing anything from a few pounds upwards. Massage is brilliant if you have achy muscles or if you are feeling a little bit stressed. You can use pre-blended massage oils depending on whether you want something invigorating or more relaxing. To pick a massage tool for the head and for the body we recommend looking at the reviews and carrying out a lot of research. However, using your hands can actually be more beneficial, as hands can really get into the nooks and crannies of the head and body that some tools may find hard to reach.

We hope that you enjoy our at home spa ideas and feel revived, relaxed and refreshed afterwards. It is the perfect me-time pampering experience, that is also great for your health.
