Regular relaxation is the best way to keep yourself beautiful and fresh. That is why SPAs got so popular with women all over the world. At the same time, SPA procedures can be a good idea for a date with your significant other. You can go to a SPA center or organize your own SPA at home, which will be a more intimate and close experience. Read below for our tips on how to create such a relaxing atmosphere at home.
Prepare some fruit
Of course, SPA is about doing some relaxing things but what a relaxing evening can do without tasty snacks? Prepare some light food in advance. It can be fruit, cheese, fish sandwiches, or any other thing that you like.
Relax in a hot bath
A hot bath is a nice way to unwind together with your bae and have a beauty treatment at the same time. Bath is often included in the programs of SPA centers. At home, it doesn’t take a lot of time and lets you still enjoy time together and relax. To prepare, buy some spa kits, such as sea salt or Epsom salt. Use some candles to create a nice romantic atmosphere. In many SPA centers, taking a bath precedes massage and other procedures, so you can include it in your date program as an individual treatment or as a ritual before something else.
To create a specific atmosphere faster, use bath bombs or citrus infusions. You can add slices of lemon or orange into the water to make the smell relaxing and filling with energy at the same time. As an alternative, you can add some wine to your bath or throw rose petals. It will both make the aroma perfect and the atmosphere very romantic.
Learn to do massage
Well, of course, you won’t become a massage master in a day. But a couple of videos can at least teach you the basics. Buy massage oil with a nice taste, prepare a towel and a pillow, turn on relaxing music and you are ready to go. Ask your partner to lie down and do your first relaxing massage. You can also check out how to do face massages. It is both good for your skin and beauty and very relaxing. We have many points on the face that are responsible for relaxing the body, so the less tense your face gets, the less stress you feel.

If you are not ready to learn full body massage, study at least hand massage. It is also a very relaxing process that can help you get rid of stress.
How to do a hand massage?
First, open and close your hands a couple of times to relax your muscles. Then massage each finger gently. Massage oils will help you make the movements smoother. Stroke the top of the hand from the knuckles up to the wrist, glide down, and repeat. Make sure your movements are tender. After that, use circular motions to massage the palm and the wrist. Then squeeze the webbings between fingers. Finish your hand massage by pushing the heel of your hand into the muscles around the palm.
Take care of your face
SPA often includes applying masks. You can have the same fun and relaxation at home with your bae. Buy a mask or create your homemade one together with your sweetheart. This new experience can bring you a lot of laughs and pleasure. To make it, you can use a simple recipe like this one. For a strawberry yogurt facial mask, take a handful of fresh strawberries, plain yogurt, and 3 tablespoons of almonds. Mix all the ingredients together until the texture becomes smooth, and you get a perfect tasty face mask for a date. If you prepare it in advance, keep it in the fridge.
Buy a SPA kit
If you don’t feel like assembling a SPA kit yourself, you can just buy a ready one. It usually includes a shower gel and body lotion, scrubs, bath bombs, face masks, aroma candles, diffuser oils, and even electric massagers.
Do meditation or yoga together
After a relaxing home SPA, take some time to just lie and relax in this peaceful atmosphere. You can turn on some meditative music to guide you on the way to relieving stress. Turn off your phones for a while and dedicate this time just to each other.
