1. CREATE THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE

The right atmosphere is essential for a #homespaday. After all, the #homespaday should not only serve beauty, but also deep relaxation.

It is best to put on some soft, relaxing background music, such as the gentle sounds of Tibetan singing bowls or nature sounds. Create a pleasant feel-good atmosphere for your wellness day at home with scented candles or air sprays with calming essences such as lavender or vanilla. Set the room temperature to a comfortable level, dim the light and let the room be lit by candlelight.

We recommend to prepare everything you need during your #homespaday in advance: from towels and bathrobes to bath foam, bath salts, massage oils, peels and masks to a pleasant body lotion and facial care. That way you can relax as much as possible and don’t have to run back and forth to find further essentials.

We recommend: treat yourself to a digital break during your #homespaday. Because far too often we are subject to the dictation of the smartphone. So: switch off all electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones, smart watches, landlines, tablets and Alexa. Also inform your partners and family that you are taking an undisturbed break. They will certainly understand and may even follow your lead.

2. START OFF WITH A BATH

The best way to start your wellness break is to warm up your body. A bath with aromatic oils and bath salts relaxes tense muscles and prepares the skin and nails perfectly for the subsequent care. After a 10-15 minute period of unwinding, it is time to get out of the tub. If you are tough enough to take a cold shower after bathing, you can give your circulation an nice boost. Now you are ready for a well-deserved Me Day!

A homemade detox drink made from tap water, lemon, fresh mint and grapefruit serves as a stress reliever and provides your body with fluids.

Tip: If you leave the hair treatment in your hair even after bathing, the active ingredients can penetrate deeper into the hair and the treatment will work better. Simply wrap the damp hair including treatment product in a towel around your head.

3. TIME FOR SKIN CARE

In order to get your circulation going, a soothing peeling comes follows the extensive bath. First the body, then the face. With a peeling or a peeling glove, you massage the individual parts of the body in circular movements, this removes dead skin cells, refines the complexion and stimulates cell renewal.

In general, every kind of skin tolerates a peeling.
It is important that the application is adapted to the skin type and the body zone. Since the facial skin is more sensitive, a particularly gentle peeling should be used here. If you have sensitive skin, you should avoid mechanical peelings and use an enzyme peel instead.

4. DEEP RELAXATION FOR THE FACE

We now come to the second part of skin care – the face mask. After the peeling, wrap yourself in comfortably warm towels or put on a cozy bathrobe. Now apply the face mask that matches your skin. The pores opened and cleaned by the peeling now optimally absorb the active ingredients of the face mask and give your skin everything it needs. The skin around the eyes in particular needs special attention because it is especially thin. To skilfully take care of the sensitive area around the eyes, simply apply the eye cream a little thicker than the eye mask. Once you’ve applied the face mask and eye cream, relax for the next 10-15 minutes. Let the active ingredients work and enjoy your wellness day in peace. Then wash off with lukewarm water.

Tip: Are you looking for an extra boost? Then apply the appropriate serum under the mask, thereby pampering your skin with a real shower of active ingredients at the minimal amount of time.

5. A BALANCED NUTRITION FOR THE SKIN

To protect the skin, it needs to be moisturized. Start at the chin and apply the skin-specific face cream from there. Then gently massage in the care cream from the middle of the face to the outside. Again and again, gently swipe upwards, because this will promote the blood circulation in your face and work in the cream. But not only your face needs moisture – the neck and décolleté are also looking forward to some attention and will thank you.

For the body, it is best to choose a rich body oil or a moisturizing body milk. Work in the oil or milk gently using circular motion. Don’t forget the often neglected areas, such as the hands and soles of your feet.
