Amid the hustle and bustle, we often don't get enough rest and quality sleepโฆWith so many different identities (parent, partner, son or daughter and job...), we often forget to spend time with ourselves..
Whether it's a stress-relieving massage, revitalizing facial or pampering feet, a relaxing spa treatment has to be the ultimate in self-care.
The best part? You can create your own DIY do-it-yourself spa day at home without a whole bunch of stuff. Aside from some great spa products and kits, all you need is a tub (or shower), and some ideas for the spa treatments you need, and before you know it, your face, feet, hair, body, and mental stress- will thank you...
Here's a list of 10 easy ways you can create a blissful self-care DIY spa at home!
- Do a dry-brushing session.
Dry brushing increases blood flow and stimulates collagen production, which will help to strengthen your skin. It also dramatically increases elasticity, so it's great for lifting and toning.
Recommends starting at the tops of your feet and brushing upward toward the heart. Don't forget to include the backs of your arms and your back. Do it right before you step in the shower, then proceed with your usual routine.

- Combine your bath and mask time.
The best time to apply a face mask is after a warm shower or while taking a bath! This way, the steam will open up your pores so they can indulge in all the goodness.
ย 
- Create a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom or home
Start with a clean room so you're not distracted by work or clutter.
Light a few scented candles, or use an essential oil diffuser. Aromatherapy scents are a great way to brighten your mood and relax. Turn off the white light and turn on yellow/warm lights for a relaxing mood.
Wear your most comfortable robe and bring some soft towels and bath towels. Put on your favourite playlist and create a relaxing atmosphere.
ย 
- Give yourself a hand massage
A DIY hand massage to give you an instant hit of calm. Begin with a relaxing finger massage. Using your thumb and forefinger of one hand, squeeze and gently wriggle the fingers of the other. For a smooth massage, it is best to first apply lotion or oil to your hand before, and during the massage, to keep your skin slick.
Pinch the tips of each finger and thumb on both hands. The pressure applied to your fingers should be firm, but not painful. A few seconds for each fingertip will do. After pinching the tops and bottoms of your finger and thumb tips, go back to each tip and pinch them again, this time squeezing from side to side.
