Instructions

When you are planning to have a spa day at your dacha, prepare thoroughly. Gather fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden beds and flood the bathhouse. Pick useful herbs that grow like weeds in any summer cottage - these are chamomile, string, nettle and others. Dry them slightly.

Start your beauty routine with proper nutrition. First, eat a big meal. Dense does not mean high in calories. The food should be satisfying, but light. For this you need young vegetables and fresh herbs. Make a salad, season with olive oil. You can add a piece of fish to this dish. Fish can also be caught yourself if you or your partner are avid fishermen.

Brew the collected and dried herb - the infusion should be taken in between procedures. Herbs help tone the body, have an anti-inflammatory effect and are excellent for relaxation. Ordinary spring water from a source located near your garden will also be suitable for replenishing fluids. Fresh, and most importantly clean, spring water will quickly remove toxins and waste from the body, moisturize the skin and have a healing effect on the entire body as a whole.

First, take a relaxing bath with aromatic oils; in a summer cottage, this procedure can be replaced by washing in a bathhouse. Also add aromatic oils to the water and slowly begin to water yourself with it. It is best to do this from a ladle - this way the water will be distributed evenly throughout the body and will not cause vasospasm, as if you turned the entire pelvis over on yourself at once.

Then you need to carry out the peeling procedure. Regular coffee or oatmeal are suitable for this. Mix the base ingredient with sour cream or yogurt, apply to the body and lightly rub with a washcloth. Rinse off the mixture and go to the steam room. For steaming procedures to have an effective effect on you, apply honey to problem areas of the body. It will help remove excess toxins and waste, smooth out bumps on the skin, tighten it and tone it properly.

You can use a strawberry mask for your face in a country spa. To do this, you will need only 5 berries, mash them into a paste and apply to your face, leave for 15 minutes. You need to make such a mask at the moment when you are in the steam room. This way the nutritional properties of strawberries will have a better effect on your skin. It is best to wash off the mask with cool water. The temperature contrast will have the most positive effect on the condition of your skin.

At the end of washing, rinse your hair with an infusion of herbs from your area. This will help them become more elastic, strong and shiny.

After the bath, do a body wrap. Any fruit will do. But oranges, grapefruits, bananas, and grapes are especially good for these purposes. Crush them, mix, apply to the body. Then wrap yourself in a sheet and wrap yourself in plastic wrap. Sit for half an hour or an hour in a warm place, for example, reading your favorite book or magazine. Afterwards, rinse everything off and apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream.

Finish the procedure with herbal tea brewed from herbs collected with your own hands. You will immediately feel how you are, your mood has improved, and your eyes have sparkled.

Face. For the face we will make a rejuvenating yeast mask. It is necessary to grind 10 g of yeast with olive oil (for dry and sensitive skin) or with warm milk (for combination and oily skin) to the consistency of thick sour cream. Apply the resulting mixture to cleansed skin of the face, neck and décolleté for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water and apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream.

After resting for 10 minutes after the mask, we move on to facial massage.Using circular movements, massage the center of the forehead, the point between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose and the base of the eyebrows, gradually moving to the middle of the eyebrows and ending at the end of the natural eyebrow line.

SPA treatments are popular all over the world. Cosmetics based on sea and mineral water are considered one of the best. Hydropathic baths operating at resorts are in stable and even growing demand among vacationers; some come specifically for the SPA.

SPA is used both to treat rather unpleasant skin and orthopedic diseases, and to relieve psychological stress and relax physically and spiritually. In SPA procedures, in addition to mineral and sea water, ordinary water enriched with infusions of medicinal herbs, clay solutions, and aromatic oils can be used.

To conduct a SPA session at home, you will need free time, water, a bath and a desire to pamper yourself.

The first option is quite simple. When buying salt, it is best to use healing Dead Sea salts and aromatic oils. Fill the bath with hot water and immerse yourself in it for about five minutes. This is just for beginners. Next time you can devote 10 minutes to relaxation, and so on up to 20. After the bath, shower and massage with a terry towel.

Another option is a bath with herbal decoctions. Choose a herb or herb according to your taste, brew at the rate of 15-30 grams of raw material per liter of water. You pour it into the bath and get in yourself. It is good to add pine extract or branches of juniper, fir or pine, pre-brewed with boiling water, to such a bath. The resulting broth also needs to be poured into water. After steaming, the needles become soft, so they will not prick; on the contrary, they will serve as a good massage tool.

The procedure according to the third option involves subsequent wrapping. The decoction of pine branches should be hot. You can use mineral water for brewing. Soak a large piece of fabric in the broth (a sheet will do). Wrap yourself in this cloth. It needs to stay warm for a long time. It is advisable to stay in the form of such a “cocoon” for 2-3 hours. Then remove the wrapper and vigorously rub the skin with a terry towel. This procedure improves blood circulation, promotes healthy skin, makes it elastic and firm.

Also included in the SPA complex are heating with clay, salt, and herbs. Make a bag from thick fabric, fill it with the desired composition, heat it and apply it to the area of ​​the body selected for the procedure. Skin condition improves, joint pain decreases, muscles relax.

Speaking about a spa at home, we can highlight the main stages of spa procedures at home: 1) atmosphere 2) cleansing 3) moisturizing 4) finishing touch (rest, manicure and pedicure).

So, in order to make a spa at home we will need:

• free time (Very important! Don’t do anything in a hurry, relax, rest, and get the most out of the spa treatments. You may not do everything, but at least do what you do with pleasure.)

So, the first item on our home spa list is: ATMOSPHERE: Your main goal here is to create a relaxing, soothing atmosphere in one word - heaven. Turn on your favorite music (only calm), light simple candles, maybe a couple of aromatic ones - for the appropriate smell, or you can add a little essential oil (to your taste) to the bath, the main thing is not to overdo it, the smell should be pleasant, but in no case irritating, In addition, you can add some rose petals to the bath. What am I telling you, we are all magicians and wonderwomen, I think this stage of preparation for a miracle will not be difficult for anyone.

We lower our feet into our bath for 15 minutes, then clean them: apply a foot scrub to problem areas and remove rough skin using a pumice stone. And now we apply a mask to our cleansed feet (Ingredients: 1 glass of oatmeal, 1 tablespoon of honey, any vegetable oil, chamomile or lavender oil 5 drops). Before applying, slightly warm up the mask in the microwave, apply it to your feet, wrap it in cling film or a plastic bag and put on warm socks. You can do this before wrapping, whichever is more convenient for you.

After the time is up, we go to the shower: we wash off all the masks.

And here it is! It's finally time for a bath in our spa at home. Read below to find out which bathtub is best to choose for our spa at home.

After taking a bath, we do self-massage and take a contrast shower, pamper our body with creams or lotion (this is of course not necessary - depending on how your skin feels, in principle, a milk bath with oils will well moisturize and saturate your body with useful substances), relax, drink green tea or juice. And now you have two options: 1) go to bed like a baby, if it’s already late and you don’t want to do anything else. Or 2) after a short rest, we can tidy up our nails.

Before using any components, make sure that you are not allergic to them. And most importantly, having had so much fun at home, imagine what you will experience in a spa salon or even better at a spa resort. And which spa resort to choose, read in the article “Spa resorts: where to go on vacation.” I wish you success in creating your own spa salon at home!

The concept of Spa has come to us since the times of Ancient Rome - Sanus Per Aquam, which literally means “Health through water”. In those distant ancient times, the inhabitants of Ancient Rome used thermal springs (thermal water for swimming, bathing) to cure many ailments and diseases. Nowadays, Spa (SPA) is understood as a set of procedures (including relaxing and cosmetic) and programs that are aimed at improving health, appearance and well-being through the use of water treatments and hydromassage.

Water is the source of our health and vitality. Extracts of plants and algae used during various spa procedures, when affecting our body, tone it, promote strengthening and healing, aromatic oils improve emotional mood and tone the skin. Steam spa procedures (for example, a sauna) stimulate the active removal of waste, toxins and other harmful substances from tissues, helping to improve the functioning of the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems. Medicinal plants and algae in baths have a positive effect on the pelvic organs, kidney function and urinary system. Contrast showers have a rejuvenating effect on the body.

Just ten years ago, only the female half of the population went to the spa, but today the stronger sex does not lag behind women in their aspirations, visiting spa salons to improve their health and maintain beauty. Mostly men use spa massage treatments and visit the sauna with aromatic oils, which perfectly tone the skin and perfectly maintain muscle tone.

Spa procedures are an integral part of any figure correction program, many of them are used to reduce body volume, in the treatment and prevention of cellulite, eliminating age spots, and also as preventive measures against skin diseases.

SPA procedures have a positive effect on the skin of the face and body, as well as on the condition of the body as a whole, increasing well-being, performance, and mood. In addition, they will help get rid of joint pain, restoring an easy gait.

Nowadays, the benefits of spas are recognized by almost all specialists in the field of medicine and cosmetology. A specialist will determine which procedure is right for you, taking into account your existing problems and your expectations.

The most popular spa treatments.
Today, wraps, steam rooms and saunas are extremely popular among spas. Another procedure is gaining momentum in popularity - the so-called Spa capsule. This capsule uses various combinations of physiotherapeutic factors (therapeutic mud, algae, oils, salts, gels, wraps.). The capsule combines heating technologies - steam and infrared heat, thanks to which individual health and treatment programs are developed: anti-cellulite programs, relaxation programs, massage, wraps, anti-stress programs, peeling, weight correction programs.

Wraps.
Wraps (hot and cold) are one of the most effective methods of combating cellulite and extra pounds. They are carried out using various components, such as therapeutic mud, seaweed, minerals, honey, chocolate, etc.

Thalassotherapy.
Another spa treatment that is quite popular these days is thalassotherapy. Its goal is to restore the mental and physical health of our body through exposure to sea water, air and sea products (algae, dirt, salt, etc.). Not a single beauty salon in famous seaside resorts can do without such a procedure. Today it can be done not only at the resort, but also in most cities of the country. It cleanses the body, restores skin healthy color, firmness, elasticity, smoothness, eliminates fatigue, relieves stress, fights fat deposits and cellulite.

Stone therapy.
The stone therapy procedure is also included in the list of therapeutic services of spa salons; its main technique is therapeutic massage with cold and hot stones of certain areas of the body where the largest number of active points are located. Stone massage is aimed at treating certain diseases; it is also an excellent healing and preventive procedure and can be recommended to absolutely all people to get rid of the effects of stress, overwork, increased excitability, and improve health and psyche. It also increases blood circulation and lymph flow, restores metabolic processes, has a strengthening effect on the immune system and nervous system, relieving muscle tension, pain, increasing efficiency and accelerating the removal of toxins from the body.

Peels.
In spa salons, various types of peelings are used (salt, algae, honey, etc.). They perfectly cleanse the skin of impurities and dead cells, accelerate blood circulation in the tissues, make the skin texture more even, promote detoxification, and also supply the skin with essential minerals, oxygen and beneficial substances and microelements, preparing it for further care.

Steaming or heating.
A hammam (Turkish steam bath) is used to warm the body. The procedure is aimed at relaxing muscles, removing excess fluid, and relieving tension.

Complete relaxation.
To achieve a relaxed state, a hydromassage bath or a Japanese furo barrel is used, to which various components are added (cream, medicinal herbs, aromatic oils, rose petals, etc.).

Massage.
Massage has always been used to improve the health of the body. Nowadays, spa salons use various massage techniques (Thai, Shiatsu, Ayurveda massage and others). Massage is the final stage of a complex of spa treatments. It can be classic healing, anti-cellulite, relaxing or exotic oriental. Finally, the skin is moisturized with cream or gel. The massage technique is determined in each specific case depending on the condition of the body and existing problems.

Spa at home.
Those who are limited in time or financial resources can arrange a spa themselves. At home, it is possible to carry out spa baths, body wraps, massages, and treatments with aromatic oils (aromatherapy).

First you need to stay at home alone, prepare yourself and your body for further exposure. To do this, it is imperative that the last meal be taken an hour before further activities; after their completion, you will not be able to eat for another hour. For an evening meal, you should give preference to a light salad and fruit. Regarding liquids, you definitely need to drink a lot, but only clean drinking water, green tea without sugar or herbal infusions are allowed.

Next, you need to create the right atmosphere, for which you can use an aroma lamp and a few drops of any aroma oil with a relaxing effect (lavender, geranium, citrus, sandalwood, myrrh, incense), and additionally turn on a calm melody that would evoke extremely positive emotions in you.

After this, you can begin the procedures. The first thing in line will be steaming. You can use a bath for this purpose. Close the bathroom door tightly and open hot water (43 degrees). It is better to do this with a shower hanging on the wall. This way you will get the steam effect from the pouring water. Well, a kind of hammam has been prepared at home! You can add a little sea salt or a decoction of herbs (chamomile, linden blossom, mint, or a combination of them) to the water, and now immerse yourself in it for fifteen minutes, completely relax.

Next, after steaming, you need to cleanse the body skin of dead cells and impurities, for which use a ready-made or homemade scrub, gommage or peeling. Homemade scrubs based on coffee, algae, honey, and sea salt are especially popular. Apply any scrub composition to clean and steamed skin in a circular motion for several minutes, then rinse. If you use scrubs with oils, remember that after washing off there will still be some oil left on the skin, so it is better not to wipe the skin, but to wrap yourself in a sheet and sit for a while, for example, with a cup of green tea.

After cleansing the skin, there is a stage of wraps, which can be anti-cellulite, toning, firming, etc. Seaweed, chocolate, and clay wraps are especially popular. Depending on the purpose, apply the mixture, prepared in advance yourself or ready-made, purchased in a store, to problem areas, wrap in cling film, and cover with a woolen blanket on top to create an additional warming effect. Leave the mixture for half an hour to an hour and rinse off in the shower.

The final stage will be skin moisturizing, which can be effectively combined with self-massage. You can use ready-made creams and gels, or massage oils.

Every person deserves at least one day a week where they can pamper themselves. To save time and money, why not try some spa treatments at home? There are many relaxing and rejuvenating techniques that can be done using products that everyone has in their home.

From massages to scrubs and facials, these treatments will leave you looking pampered from head to toe.

1. Head massage

You can purchase aroma lamps and candles with your favorite scents. This will give you energy for a long time.

3. Face masks

Face masks are the easiest option for spa treatments. They need to be done regularly. Use whatever you find in the refrigerator: yogurt, cucumbers, kefir, eggs, etc. Masks will make your face moisturized, radiant, and silky. Use this treatment when you notice that your face is looking a little tired, dry and uneven.

4. Body scrub

You don't have to go to Morocco to experience a hammam! A homemade scrub will exfoliate dead skin cells. After using the scrub, you will get moisturized and renewed skin.

6. Massage with a dry brush

Dry brushing massage has many advantages. Using a bamboo brush will help your skin relax, unclog pores, activate the lymphatic system and reduce cellulite. Once you try this procedure at least once, you will do it as often as you can.

7. Steam facials

No need to go to the sauna to cleanse your pores. You can easily do this at home. Just put your hair in a bun and lower your face over a pan of boiling water. Steam your face for about 15 minutes. For greater effect, cover your head with a towel. If you like, add a couple of drops of essential oil to the water.

8. Epilation

If you're feeling brave enough, it's worth practicing waxing. Don't worry, you'll soon get used to the immediate pain. Use skin emollient creams to reduce pain. After this procedure, you will enjoy smooth skin for a couple of weeks.

9. Micro-acupuncture

Micro-acupuncture may be intimidating at first. However, this treatment is not nearly as painful and scary as it seems. The dermaroller causes microscopic damage to the skin, that is, invisible punctures on the top layer of the epidermis. These tiny injuries stimulate the skin's healing process.

10. Manicure

You don't need to visit a beauty salon to get smooth, neat nails. Use the money you save to buy tools for a home manicure.: UV lamp, gel polishes, nail files, etc. Over time, you will learn how to create the perfect manicure without spending a lot of money and time.

Many girls think that in order to look beautiful and well-groomed, they need to stay in expensive spas. All spa treatments can be performed at home with the same excellent effect. The result will be lasting and visible, just like after professional procedures. Constantly exposed to negative influences, the skin of the face becomes dry and flabby, losing its elasticity and youth. This can be corrected by regularly performing simple procedures at home.

What is the highlight of spa treatments?

Facial spa treatments are a cosmetological complex that includes actions aimed at protecting facial skin from external harmful factors and bad habits. Everyone knows that smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition immediately affect the condition of the skin. Spa treatments will help restore elasticity and freshness to your face. Their big advantage is their versatility, since they have virtually no contraindications. Only if you have a problem with acne or other inflammatory processes should you avoid using the spa.

Facial beauty treatments

Spa treatments always include 3 main stages: deep cleansing of the skin, peeling and moisturizing. Facial cleansing can be different: vacuum, ultrasonic, gas-liquid and mechanical. An experienced cosmetologist will select the ideal option for each client. The most popular is the combined method, which includes both mechanical and less traumatic methods. All this is explained by the fact that the skin on the face very often has more than one type. In most cases, there are different zones on the face that are characteristic of oily or, conversely, dry skin. Deep cleansing of the face is done to make the skin more receptive to spa treatments.

In order to steam and cleanse your facial skin as much as possible, it is absolutely not necessary to go to specialized salons. You can do this without leaving your home. Steam baths for the face are considered the best cleanser. They deeply cleanse the skin, accelerate blood circulation, and stimulate better metabolism. Under the influence of hot steam, the pores expand and the skin softens. Sweating increases, due to which unnecessary metabolic products are removed from the body.

Baths should be done once a week depending on your skin type. Up to 30 years of age, skin is considered normal, oily, etc. After 35 years, in the absence of obvious signs of a particular skin type (excessive oiliness or dryness), care should be directed to aging skin. Before taking steam baths, you need to remove all makeup. The face must be perfectly clean. After this procedure, you can apply a cream or mask to your face.

You should avoid baths if you have problem skin, acne, or pimples. If you have bronchial asthma, this procedure may worsen the situation. Also, if you have unstable blood pressure, it is better to use another method of deep cleansing your face. Steam baths are especially useful in the summer, when there is such a large amount of dust in the air that the sebaceous and sweat glands work more intensely. This procedure will relieve tension and remove any dirt from the face.

In order to do this procedure at home, you need to prepare the following things: 2 towels, a basin, essential oils, herbal decoctions, masks and creams for further care. It is best to take baths in loose clothing, with your hair pinned up, or best hidden in a special cap.
