45-Minute At-Home Spa
Refresh your body and spirit in less than an hour
Take Time Out It only takes a few minutes to recharge, and you don’t even have to leave the house. Just close the door, run a warm bath and light a scented candle.
Here are our 5 steps for unwinding:
1. Renew Your Nails
Remove polish from fingers and toes, exfoliate with a hand and foot scrub, and nourish with a moisturizing oil.
2. Nourish Your Hair
In the bath, wet hair and deep condition with a masque to improve texture and softness. Apply to clean, damp hair, and wrap in a towel for 5 minutes to let the product penetrate before rinsing.
3. Relax
Now you can sink down, close your eyes and empty your mind.
4. Exfoliate
When your skin is softened by the water, use a body scrub to smooth rough spots and improve circulation.
5. Moisturize
Complete the experience by lathering a rich cream all over your body.
Time Out: 45 minutes
Tip: Schedule your spa time just before bed. You will feel relaxed and sleep well.
