Part of the beauty of an at-home spa treatment is the ritual of creating space for yourself to relax and unwind. How you create an external sacred space sets the foundation for you to tap into your internal sacred space to provide yourself with nourishment that goes beyond the surface and seeps into the soul. While we all have only so many resources (and finances!) at our disposal, here are some little things you can do that can have a big impact on your at-home spa treatment.
Tip 1#: Set the Mood
Engage all of the senses to really benefit from the experience. This includes sight, scent, touch, and sound. Plants and flowers instantly bring life into any space and when brought around a bathtub or foot bath, create a welcoming, serene environment. Candles help to create the ambiance. Burning Sage and palo santo are two of our favorites for clearing the air energetically, and they both have a grounding, relaxing effect. Or pick your favorite essential oils to diffuse or incense to burn to heighten the aroma.
Tip#2: Grab your All-Natural Skincare Products
Live By Being skincare collection exists to help you turn everyday skincare routines into wellness rituals so you can find calm in the chaos and reconnect with who you really are. They really set the tone for your spa experience, and they each have distinct ingredients and properties that ground, elevate, and clear skin + soul.
For a Relaxing, Nourishing Spa Treatment, try our:
Release Milk Bath paired with the Calma Terra Facial Mask - Rose and West Indian Sandalwood oil along with coconut milk and cocoa butter soften the skin, alleviate tension, and heighten mood and sensuality. For the facial, a delicate balance of nourishing French pink and ancient Moroccan Rhassoul clays combined with antioxidant-rich rosehip and calming clary sage to repair and soothe dry or sensitive skin. This restorative blend removes dead skin cells and restores the skin with antioxidants, rich minerals, and vitamins such as magnesium, silica, potassium, vitamins A, C, and E.
For a Clarifying, Meditative Spa Treatment, try our:
Still Salt Bath paired with the Pura Terra Face Mask - Himalayan Pink Salt and Dead Sea Salt relieve the body while essential oils of geranium and ylang-ylang settle the mind. For the facial, french green clay exfoliates while healing lavender absorbs surface oils and toxins. This careful blend stimulates pores while toning overall complexion.
Tip#3: Unplug and Be Intentional
Sometimes, belief and thought process is our biggest roadblock to actually creating time to take care of ourselves. We think that if we dedicate some time to ourselves that we’re being selfish. We think that there are so many other things that need to be done before we can relax let go. Turn off the phone and shut down the computer (because it can wait until tomorrow). Remember that you, as much as anyone else, is deserving of your care and attention.
