In the world we are living, it’s now easier than ever to make your own at-home spa treatments. While it’s a luxury to get pampered at the spa or salon, staying in for a night can be a treat, too. SKINNEY Medspa is featured in Bustle’s article “7 At-Home Spa Day Ideas For Your Next Night In.” The team talks about at-home spa treatments that are easy to do on your own or during a girl’s night. DIY recipes are all over the internet, so beauty experts weigh in on how to turn your house into a day spa.
Steam Treatment
SKINNEY Medspa Esthetician, Josie Holmes, says a facial steam is excellent for the at-home day spa. “The steaming process can promote circulation, increase hydration, and help products absorb better,” Holmes recomends the Aira Facial Steamer. If it’s not in the budget, make your own at home.
“I love to take a large bowl and fill it with hot water. Sometimes I’ll add in essential oils or crushed-up rose petals to make it even feel dreamier. You can take a towel and drape it over your head to trap in the steam,” she said. You can try an at-home steam treatment once or twice a week for five to ten minutes.
DIY Body Scrub
It’s easy to buy at-home spa treatment products, but if you can’t get to the store, do it yourself! Holmes, with SKINNEY Medspa, says caffeine provides many benefits to the skin. It can increase circulation and provide antioxidants. Bustle says studies have also shown it can be an “effective agent in anti-aging efforts by inhibiting the breakdown of collagen,” she said.
To make your own coffee scrub, Holmes puts a couple of scoops of coffee grounds into a bowl. Grab the coconut oil and add in a few tablespoons. It adds moisture and acts as a barrier for the grounds. Apply it to the skin, scrub, and rinse off.
DIY Foot Soak
There’s nothing better than soaking your feet while binging a favorite TV show. At-home spa treatments bring out the best of both worlds. Beauty experts say all you need are three essential items: Epsom salt, lemon, and warm water. Epsom salt is meant to help ease muscles, decrease inflammation, and reduce stress. Lemon is antimicrobial.
To create your DIY foot soak, fill a tub or pail with warm water. Take two lemons and squeeze them in. Add two cups of Epsom salt and stir. Soak your feet for about 15 minutes and then rinse off.
