At Home Facial Treatment

Doing an at home facial treatment may be easier than you’d expect. To have the ultimate experience, light some candles and put on some relaxing music before you get started. Start off by deeply cleansing your face with your favorite facial wash. The next step is to steam your face, which you can do at home by hovering your face over a bowl of hot water and covering your head with a towel to keep the steam inside. There are also affordable options for at home facial steamers that are available to purchase online. After steaming, it's time to exfoliate the face and remove any dead skin cells. After you’ve exfoliated, grab your favorite face mask and follow the directions provided. Finally, finish with moisturizer and your favorite serums. We do not suggest performing extractions on yourself to avoid skin damage, it is best to leave this step to professionals. 

Aromatherapy Bath or Shower

Whether you’re a bath person or a shower person, adding some aromatherapy to your set up is the perfect way to elevate your experience. You may have seen the trending eucalyptus leaves online that are hung above the shower head, it has been going viral on social media for a good reason. Eucalyptus is an extremely popular plant that when hung in the shower, can relieve a stuffy nose or headache, and help you destress. To set up, purchase a few bushels of eucalyptus, tie them together with a rubber band, and simply hang them over the neck of the shower head. This is an inexpensive and easy way to give your bathroom a more spa-like feel.
