February is the time of year when we can all do with a little reprieve from the cold. Whilst we might have tackled the January blues and shaken off the office cold, there is nothing more we want than to retreat from the cold and relax.

One of the best ways to treat yourself this winter is with a cure-all home spa treatment. Warm up and relax or rejuvenate your spirit without even having to leave the house. Why not put the kids to bed early and deck out your bathroom for a home spa day.

How to create your own home spa

Whether your home spa is to help soothe tired muscles or help you get over the last of the winter blues, you’ll definitely want to make sure that you have everything you need to be comfortable and relaxed.

The Essentials

To get comfortable in the bath, treat yourself to a bath pillow and tub caddy. Sit back and relax on a soft towelling pillow whilst you sip on a glass of vino and read your favourite book from the tub caddy. A must have for any spa day, these are a worthwhile investment for future days.

Ready for when you get out of the bath, get some super soft 100% cotton bath towels and a robe. There is nothing worse than a small towel so for the ultimate luxury, treat yourself to a jumbo bath sheet. If you want to lounge around after, why not take a look at our 100% cotton bathrobe, ideal for keeping warm whilst you paint those pesky toenails.

The Treatments

The cold wind and central heating can dry out your skin in the winter, so why not treat yourself to some luscious bath salts and scrubs. Fill a nice hot bath and sprinkle in some L’Occitane relaxing salt crystals. Made with essential oils of lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange and geranium, these bath salts will relax your body and mind.

One you’ve had a good soak, buff away dry skin and toxins with Burt’s Bees cranberry and pomegranate sugar scrub. Great for rejuvenating the skin, this natural scrub will gently polish and condition your skin to leave it feeling healthy, smooth and glowing.

Don’t forget to treat your face with this gentle, nourishing mask from Lush. Made with fresh bananas, oatmeal, ground almonds and kaolin, it will moisturise even the driest skin.

Homemade Afternoon Tea

No spa treatment is complete without a delicious afternoon tea. Detoxify and hydrate your body with a selection of refreshing herbal teas, best enjoyed from a fine china cup. If you’re looking to relax why not try a chamomile or mint tea. For a rejuvenating experience try a spot of tea with cinnamon or orange spice such as Chai.
