and mineral baths (e.g. Balneotherapy, Iodine-Grine Therapy, Kneipp Treatments,
Scotch Hose, Swiss Shower, Thalassotherapy, and others. It also can mean a

6. Spa At Home:
 In today’s day, many of us hardly have any time for
ourselves.
 Many ladies want to visit a spa, but are stuck up
between work and taking care of her family.
 Thus, nowadays, a lot of people do the treatments
at home.
 This not only saves time but also turns out
cheaper if done by oneself.

7. Spa At Home:

8.  We all wish to go for spa treatment and spend whole day there.Spa
treatmentsmakes one feel like heavenly .No matter if you are a working
woman or a professional woman we all wish and dream of it.But it is almost
impossible to afford a spa treatment or take time out for it every now and then
so why not give ourself spa treatment at home only.
 There are few ways in which one can give spa treatment at home:
1. Spa bath Take a relaxing bath but lighting some candles and putting on your
favourite music.You can add lush bath bombs and soak yourself into the
water. Heat and the music will take your worries away and to make it extra
special sip hot tea or your favourite drink in between.
 2. Paint your nails This is simple but it is a relaxing treatment. Just soak your
nails , apply your favourite nail polish and try some nail art. It is relaxing.
 3. Mud playing/Mud Bath Take mud bath. There are some affordable mud
packs available in market for example Lotus skin whitening mud pack etc
. Just use it whole on your face and body .It will do wonders for your inflamed
skin or acne prone skin in summer and you are going to like every bit of it.

9. 4. Scrubs- You can also indulge in salt
and sugar scrubs whose recipes have been
discussed here many times. Homemade
scrubs are organic and beneficial for your
skin too. Don’t forget to use foot scrubs
which make you proud to wear skimpy
sandals and shoes.
5.Home Hair Spa Treatment - This one is my favourite. I oil my hair as it
helps in strengthening the roots and prevents hair fall .I mix coconut and olive
for this and coat my entire hair with it Gently massage hair for 10 minutes and
shampoo my hair. After shampooing the hair I comb them and then apply hair
pack or hair conditioner and wash off the pack . While my simple hair spa
treatment is done.
We all need a break once in a while .We all are special in our way and by making
time for our self we can assure a radiant and a happy glow .
These were my 5 simple spa treatment ideas. Do you have any spa treatments to
share with us?
