How to Home Spa
The Skin Guru has a great article up about having an at home spa day. My favourite tips were:
- What’s a spa without a relaxing soak? Start your day with a luxurious bath in lavender scented water - studies have shown that the smell of lavender slows brain waves, making it a great complement to your R&R.
- While you’re in the bath, give tired eyes a little TLC. My favorite anti-inflammatory product for eyes is simple chilled (caffeinated) tea bags - caffeine is an excellent way to constrict blood vessels and minimize redness and puffiness.
- Next up? A top-notch facial. For about the price of a movie ticket, you can buy yourself the equivalent of several pricey microdermabrasion treatments. In my opinion, the right facial scrub sloughs off dead skin cells and improves skin’s texture just as well. Just one caveat: anyone with sensitive skin (acne, rosacea, or just a tendency to become red and flushed) should avoid the friction of abrasive scrubs.
For the rest of her tips, check out the article here! Because of the economic landscape, I’m planning on increasing my home spa product coverage. Stay tuned.

Hi Colleen -
Great tips. I am a spa owner myself (and spa consultant) and am actually sharing more of these home tips with my clients to help get them through if they can’t get in to see us.
One of my new favorites…use dry corn meal in the shower as a body scrub. Yes it smells like corn meal and takes a little extra effort to rinse off, but it leaves your skin really smooth! To warm it up and make it smell yummy, you can add some powdered ginger or cloves to the mix before you hop in the shower.
