I met a friend of mine who told me that she went to this spa to have a relaxed day and when the invoice came; she almost had a panic attack to see such huge amount. In this time of inflation and recession era, everyone has to spend each penny very carefully. I suggested her that she could do the therapy at home and make it all spas like effect without spending much.
Anybody who has a bathtub also known as Jacuzzi at home can easily have a spa session which rejuvenate the skin by giving it a nourishing glow and shine. There are certain things that you must follow in order to have a good spa like effect at home by spending almost nothing.
- First of all open your refrigerator and find out what fruits and vegetables you have. Fruits and vegetables have a very calming effect on your skin when you put them in the beauty products.
- You can invite your friends over and you both can help each other with the massage and facial process and also to have a memorable time together.
- You can have scented sandalwood candles to make the environment even more relaxed and peaceful.
- Keep pair of clean soft cotton hand towels with a cotton bath robe.
Once you are done with these, I’ll tell you some of the home made spa recipes and remedies by inducing the products that you can easily find in the cabinets of your kitchen and refrigerator.
