From saving you tons of money to keeping you safe from public interaction, our at-home wellness treatments ensure that your lockdown experience feels like you’re on vacation. Here is how you can pamper yourself with spa-like luxury without having to spend tons of dollars on wellness treatments.
1. Steam Facial
You can get glowing and clear skin with simple tools at home. Steaming is a classic at-home wellness treatment that makes your face look instantly brighter and radiant. All you need is to fill a bowl with hot water and wait till it cools very slightly.
Once you’re sure it will not burn your skin, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, lean over the bowl and cover yourself with a towel. Make sure the towel drapes from your head to chest level to keep the steam from escaping. Pair this treatment with a moisturizer, toner, or clay mask for the best results.
2. Mask and Bath time
Another at-home wellness treatment I love is combining my bath-time with a luxurious mask. I try to throw some rosemary or aromatics into my bathwater that help my muscles and my senses uncoil and relax.
Then, I lather on a glow mask while soaking in the scented bathwater. When you step out, you’ll feel like a royal woman, alright!
3. Body Scrub
Exfoliate your body and uncover radiant, glowing skin by combining olive oil and brown sugar. If you like, you can mix in some honey as well as an orange essential oil. Scrub your entire body with this mixture in circular motions, more in the elbows and other rough areas.
4. Deep Hair Conditioning
This at-home wellness treatment makes my hair shiny, lustrous, and utterly lovable each time. It’s my go-to natural conditioning treatment with simple ingredients that are always in stock in my pantry.
To give your locks a new life, mash an avocado and apply it directly onto your hair. If you want a more protein0packed mask for your mane, combine the mashed avocado with a beaten egg and leave it on for 15 minutes.
Then proceed to rinse off with cold water and your regular shampoo and conditioner. You’ll never find frizzy hair again.
5. Candlelight bath
I’m sure candlelight dinners with your partner are magical but have you ever luxuriated in a candlelit bath too? Trust me; you’ll find this an out-of-the-world experience. Light a couple of perfumed candles around your bathtub, add a few drops of essential oil into your warm bath water, and sink in.
You’d never want to get out of this magical space, I promise. As for wellness? Tell me if all your aches, pains, and anxieties don’t melt away with this magic you create in your bathroom.
6. Eye Treatment
Your eyes deserve as much pampering and attention as your face and the rest of your body. Give your irritated, dry, or puffy eyes some relief with a soothing and refreshing at-home wellness treatment. The traditional cucumber slices and chamomile tea bags cool the eye area while potatoes also soothe puffiness.
As with all other wellness treatments, I recommend putting on some slow, relaxing music and light some scented candles. Then lie back and cover your eyes with chamomile tea bags, potato, or cucumber slices and unwind completely.
