Get inspired by these 12 affordable spa day ideas you can do in the comfort of your home.
Dim the lights, light candles, and dip into a warm bath to unwind. Get the most out of it with a colorful and fragrant homemade bath bomb.
Spend 5 minutes massaging your scalp with some DIY shampoo. Not only does it feel good, but it also promotes hair growth.
Hair masks nourish and revitalize your hair, making it look silkier and shinier. Coconut oil is a good, affordable product you can use. Leave it in overnight for better results.
Brown sugar and coffee grounds are great for removing dead skin. Mix either one with liquid coconut oil and massage over your skin.
Oil cleansing cleans the skin but isn't harsh on the skin's healthy microbiome. Just a few drops of olive oil can go a long way.
Face masks are the poster child of at-home spa day ideas. You can easily find inexpensive hydrating face masks at beauty stores and some grocery stores—or you can make your own. A matcha face mask is soothing and has antioxidant properties.
Gua sha rollers drain fluid build-up, reducing puffiness. While they're not cheap, you can get similar results with a spoon. Chill it in the freezer for a few minutes and run it over puffy areas of your face and neck.
Mix brown sugar and olive oil to make an affordable sugar scrub for your lips. It's a must for any spa day kit, especially during the winter.
Mani-pedis are great self-esteem boosts. And fortunately, not that hard to do at home. With the right nail care supplies, you can do it in an hour.
Be sure to pour yourself homemade flavorful water to enjoy during your DIY spa day. It's simple: throw orange and cucumber slices into a pitcher and fill it with ice water.
Enjoy a free ambient sound playlist to set the spa mood. Forest sounds, ocean sounds, wind sounds—there's a lot to choose from.
Finally, follow a guided meditation session to nourish your mind and soul. At first, it may be difficult to concentrate, but turning it into a weekly practice can make all the difference in your mental health.
You probably already have most things you need to pamper yourself with a DIY spa day. But if you need to buy some essentials, be sure to get the best deals. The discounts you'll find in a Save Coupon Book near you make it oh-so-easy to treat yourself while on a tight budget.
