Spa Party Kits are a Great Way to Enjoy Home Spa

Home spa party kits are lots of fun, but you can easily make the ingredients yourself. It's true, many of the delectable ingredients you’ll need to create your own natural beauty recipes are low cost and widely available. You can create your own homemade face masks, body wraps and even your own candles and scents without going to the expense of purchasing a spa party kit. Try watching the video at the bottom of this article for more hints.

Home Spa using Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is something that everyone loves to partake in. There are so many great ways to fill your home with beautiful natural scents with the help of some essential oils. Essential oils used to be the domain of health food stores and specialist perfume shops, but these days you’re just as likely to find some basic variants of essential oils at your local supermarket.

So, all you really need is a few dollars plus a modicum of ingenuity and flair and you can create a spa at home with a host of your own natural beauty recipes.

Of course if you prefer, you can purchase a spa party kit full of all the goodies you need.

A Warning about Essential Oils

If you do decide to do-it-yourself, essential oils should never be applied directly to skin, they are a concentrated formula that needs to be diffused. Some examples of diffusers are tea lights, specialty candles or ceramic rings that can be placed above a light bulb. All of these items use heat to release the aromas within the oil.

Another good idea for diffusing oil is aromatic pottery. These pieces are only partially unglazed so that any oil that is put into the pottery, slowly escapes through the pottery. These are great if you have kids around and don’t want to take the risk of having a heat diffuser where curious little hands can burn themselves.

The scents that these things will create can really make a home spa experience something to be savored.

Spend Hardly Any Money

If you’re rolling your eyes and thinking, ‘I don’t want to spend any money,’ a great way to practice some low budget aromatherapy is to scent your home by simmering herbs in a saucepan with some water. All you have to do is find a handful of dried, or two handfuls of fresh herbs into a saucepan and then fill it with boiling water. Keep the heat low so that the mix simmers rather than boils, and the smells will be divine.

Mints and aromatics work particularly well in hot water. So if you can find either lavender, rose, lovage, marjoram, sage, oregano or thyme(or a mix of these) you have all you need to practice some free or low budget aromatherapy.

Spices are another great ingredient for simple aromatherapy using boiling water. Cloves, cinnamon chips, aniseed and fennel seeds, bay leaf and nutmeg are all great whether used in a combination or on their own. While you are using the stove, you may want to try making some floral water, too.

Create a Spa at Home

Combining aromatherapy with lots of natural beauty recipes like homemade face masks and body wraps makes for an ideal ‘at home spa day’ that will not assault your bank balance and will leave you feeling like a goddess. As an alternative, spa party kits are becoming more and more popular, they just cost a little more than doing-it-yourself.
