Who doesn't love a good spa day? Everyone deserves to de-stress and pamper themselves especially after a long, hard week at work. Sadly, not everyone has the budget to visit the spa regularly. But that doesn't mean you can't still treat yourself to some much-needed relaxation and self-care. Ahead, we've listed down five quick and easy activities that you can do to recreate the spa experience at home!
LOOK: 5 Easy Things You Can Do at Home for a Relaxing Spa Day
1. Light a candle
Setting the mood is crucial for any spa day. Aromatherapy has been proven to help with relaxation and anxiety, and what better way to start than lighting a candle? A good scented candle is a must, like Jo Malone’s Lavender & Moonflower. The scent of lavender has been proven to help regulate bodily processes associated with anxiety, such as heart rate, breathing rhythm, and hormone secretion. Meanwhile, the enveloping notes of white musk and moonflowers adds a soft and serene scent to your surroundings.

2. At-home hand and foot spa
Our hands and feet are some of the most overworked parts of our bodies, so it's important to give them some extra TLC. Caronia's Hand and Foot Care Set makes it easy with their three-step DIY spa treatment. Start by soaking your hands and feet in warm water with Caronia Revitalizing Soak and Wash. This will help clean, soothe, and soften your skin. Next, exfoliate with Caronia Renewing Scrub to improve blood circulation and revive tired hands and feet. As a final step, moisturize your skin with Caronia Nourishing Creme which can also be used every day. And if you want to get the full treatment, finish it off with a mani-pedi using their vegan, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free nail polish.

3. Color your hair
Changing up your hair can give you a fresh start and boost your confidence. Why not transform your hairdo by chopping off your locks or switching up your hair color? With the Liese Creamy Bubble Color, dyeing your hair has never been easier. Unlike traditional hair coloring products, the bubble hair color comes in a foam form that you can easily spread and massage into your hair–almost like a shampoo! Choose from a variety of colors and have fun experimenting with your new look.

4. Give yourself a facial
Level up your skincare and turn it into a facial by adding in some fun and useful beauty tools in your routine. Jade rollers and guashas are great for lifting and de-puffing the face, but we found that cryo sticks do just as much and more while helping you stay cool in the Philippine heat. Try the Strokes Cryo Freeze Sticks Facial Massage & Sculpting Tool. Made with medical-grade stainless steel, these cooling sticks help soothe inflammation and eliminate redness while stimulating nerve cells for a tightening effect on the skin. Its ergonomic structure also makes it easy to use and glide perfectly along the contours of your face.

This deeply moisturizing lotion is enriched with nourishing ingredients such as avocado oil, oat extract, vitamin E, and aloe to help replenish and soothe your skin's moisture barrier.
