With the possibility of coronavirus (COVID-19) changing the way we live for at minimum two weeks, if not the next few months, we need to look at ways to be positive about our situations. This not only includes self-care of our skin, bodies and immune systems, but also looking after our mind – so a home spa treatment isn’t just to look good, it may also help us get through a global pandemic.
When a spa experience doesn’t quite fit your current quarantine situation, there are plenty of easy ways you can recreate a relaxing spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home.
Start with creating a spa ambience – light the good candles, spritz the room with an uplifting fragrant mist and put on some soft relaxing music. And don’t forget how important it is to unplug your laptop and turn off your mobile, even if they are your only communications with the outside world.
Taking care of yourself is something you shouldn’t take for granted, particularly in anxiety-inducing times. Here are some of our favourite products to help set the scene for a self-care spa day at home.
