How can I do my own spa day at home?
Here are a few ideas: Take a warm bath: Fill your bathtub with warm water and add in some Epsom salt, baking soda, or a few drops of your favorite essential oil to create a relaxing and soothing atmosphere. Soak in the bath for 20-30 minutes to allow your muscles to relax and your skin to soften. The massage is usually done with warm oils such as almond oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil can also be used. The oil should be applied gently to the area and massaged in circular motions. It is important to be gentle and not to press too hard as this can cause more pain.Relaxing Massages We start with the most obvious use and also the most relaxing: baby oil for massages. The next time you need to wind down, reach for a bottle of baby oil and slowly but firmly massage a quarter sized amount onto each of your limbs and trunk to treat your skin to a good moisturization session.
