Relaxing in the comfort of your own home

Looking for an easy way to relax at home?  Take a nice warm bath!  Instead of bubbles, our Esthetician, Lauren, recommends the following “extras” to help you de-stress and pamper yourself:

• Cucumber slices make great cooling eye masks, but you can also add them to your bath water!
• Try essential oils in the water, such as rose, sandalwood, or lavender for some relaxing aromatherapy.
• Always follow up with a soothing moisturizer (we recommend Bioelements’ Vitalization Body Lotion) to maintain moisture.
• Peppermint oil provides a nice cooling effect.  Drop it in your bath water or try a peppermint lotion on hot summer days.  Tea tree oil on your toes is nice too!

Use these ideas with a few scented candles and you will have your own mini-spa experience at home!
