Create a relaxing atmosphere.

First, make sure you have some time to yourself. You don’t want anything stressful interfering with your relaxation!

• If your bathroom has windows, close the curtains or blinds.
• Light a couple scented candles, or add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to your diffuser.
• Cue up your favourite relaxation playlist.
• If you have a heated towel rack, turn it on and put your bath robe on it to keep it warm and soft.

Draw your bath

Ready for your home-spa session? It's time to get the bathtub ready! Fill it with hot water (but not too hot!) and add some bubble bath, Epsom salts or your favourite essential oils. Here are three perfect blends of essential oils to promote relaxation:

• Bergamot, patchouli and ylang-ylang
• Lavender, chamomile and vetiver
• Vetiver and cedar.

Eucalyptus and citrus essential oils, like clementine and grapefruit, also help reduce stress and release tension. If you have muscle pain, mint can provide some relief.

Traitez votre peau aux petits soins

It’s time for you and your guests to pamper your skin and enjoy total relaxation!

Here are some treatment products to apply at each of your beauty stations.

For your face

• Apply an exfoliant scrub or peel to your clean, makeup-free face by using small, circular movements to remove dead cells, boost your skin's radiance and make it more receptive to your treatment products. Then do the same to your entire body, using the appropriate products.
• Apply your favourite facial moisturizing mask—ideally, one that’s rich in soothing, thirst-quenching active ingredients. Leave it on for 15 minutes so your skin has time to absorb it deeply, then pat the excess moisturizer into your skin. For the ultimate facial experience, add eye patches to your mask!
• Cleanse the rest of your body with a shower gel that features nourishing, softening and toning properties.
• After your bath, dab a serum onto your face and neck before applying your daily moisturizer. Then apply a thirst-quenching cream to your entire body, paying particular attention to rougher areas like your elbows, knees and heels.
• End your routine by applying a thick layer of serum to your face and neck before you apply your usual moisturizer. Feel like you need a little more? Try ending the session with a few spritzes of thirst-quenching mist or thermal spring water.

For your eyes and lips

Delicate skin requires delicate care! Try pampering your eyes with decongestant patches that fight dark circles and puffiness by stimulating blood circulation while boosting your skin’s radiance. Then apply a nourishing lip mask to plump them up and fill in fine lines and cracks.

For your hands and feet

Nail file, a manicure block, cuticle sticks, base and top coats, gel polish, maybe even a UV lamp. Make sure you have everything you need to dazzle your nails with consistently vibrant, long-lasting colour. And be sure to let each layer dry 100% before moving on to the next. To finish, apply a moisturizing cream your hands and feet. You’ll be silky soft from fingertips to toes.

Prolong the relaxation

Finally, wrap yourself in your warm bathrobe, get comfy in your bed or sofa, and enjoy this moment of relaxation by savouring a good cup of herbal tea with relaxing aromas. Enjoy!
