How To Make A Spa At Home To Combat Stress?

Managing stress in a healthy way has become an essential requirement in life. For this reason, people have dedicated themselves to exploring different alternatives, which,  although they seem specific, actually manage to provide an integral well-being.  In other words, they have become holistic methods.

Although the average lifestyle is fast-paced and not compatible with the dynamics of harmony,  it is not impossible to find our own haven of peace. Remember that while a space can make things easier, the conditions are defined by us. You just need to set aside a little time and make a few small adjustments to get your own spa.

When we want to prepare a space at home to relieve tension, fatigue and discomfort, we don’t need to invest money or have a perfect structure. Just play with the elements we have and use them in such a way that they become favourable.

In that sense, it  ‘s important that you know what works for you and what really relaxes you. This can be very different depending on the person; some can relax with a hot bath and others with cold water. There are those who enjoy the aroma of lemon and others of cinnamon. What do you think is good for you?

How to make a spa at home to combat stress?

When this is clear, you should get some very simple items and items:

• Face mask.
• Hair mask.
• Towels (a pair will suffice).
• Incense or a couple of scented candles (with the scent of your liking).
• Some tea or infusion (to keep you well hydrated).

• Moisturizing lotions for the body, hands and face.
• Bath salts (if not available, sea salt).

A list of relaxing songs (to your liking) lasting at least an hour and a half.  None of these elements mentioned in the list are difficult to obtain, the important thing is that you have them on hand so that you can use them when you have little time. You might have a small closet or special drawer to store these things.

With these elements, you can improvise your own spa at home. It all depends on what you want and the time you have. The key is that you are in the right tune to let stress go. If you take at least three hours for yourself, you can do the following:

Basic But Effective Tips

The first thing you should do is stay away from your cell phone. Avoid looking at your notifications, apps and wasting time in front of your device screen. Concentrate on looking around and focusing on the here and now. Your vision will thank you, because you will give your eyes a rest and for your mind too, because you will disconnect from virtual life.

You should also avoid watching television and resorting to other devices. The idea is to dispense with the technology for at least an entire hour. The only thing that should accompany you right now is the music, with low or medium volume.

If you are one of those people who relax with a bath or shower, don’t hesitate to take it before starting your relaxation time; this will help you a lot. In this way, you will prepare the body so that, little by little, it relaxes.

There is a very effective little spa trick at home:  If you have a medium-sized plastic container (you can fit your feet comfortably), fill it with warm water with a handful of coarse salt and place your feet in it for an hour. You will feel a very pleasant sensation and the accumulated fatigue will disappear over the minutes.

Use a different soap than you normally use and use gentle movements as you rub your skin. Finally, you can change into comfortable clothes or just keep your towel on. Try to dim the lights where you are going to lie down. Don’t forget to keep your back straight so you’re comfortable.

Steps to Relaxing at Your Home Spa

• Put a mask on your face or hair; What you prefer. You can also put both!
• Once applied, let the masks work for 30 minutes. Lie down during this time and focus on breathing and exhaling deeply. Nothing else.
• During this time, you can also drink some tea and read, or simply close your eyes to enjoy the aromas. If you choose to read, choose paper format, not digital. 

• Remove mask with fresh water. Then dry your face and gently apply a moisturizing cream to your face and body. Do everything slowly, no need to rush.

The most important thing is that you take the time to get to know yourself. Remember that this is a time when you will only invest in yourself and that, in the end, it is something that will earn you health points. There are many alternatives, the question is to look for them and give yourself the opportunity to try them.
