National Spa Week runs from the 31st Oct - 4th Nov, and although you can definitely treat yourself before then, we recommend dedicating that week to treating yourself to an hour of spa time to reap the physical, mental and emotional benefits.
To help create a spa at home, see our top recommendations below…
Bed of Nails Jet Black Mat
Bed of Nails is an excellent aid in self-treatment that helps stimulate energy in the body. While triggering the body’s innate way of healing itself, it is an effective tool for easing tension and inducing a state of deep relaxation. Bed of Nails is similar to acupuncture; the pressure of the rounded nails against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, boosting your mood and overall wellbeing, as well as your energy and pain relief. Plus, it releases oxytocin, which eases tension and induces relaxation (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!). Available at Bed of Nails.
Goldfaden Facial Detox
Whilst you lie on your Bed of Nails mat, emphasize your spa moment by applying a face mask at the same time, and for the best radiance results, try Goldfaden’s Facial Detox Clarify and Clear Mask.
Created by dermatologist Dr Gary Goldfaden, this detoxifying mask works to close pores, reduce blackheads, and banish redness to leave you with a clear and renewed complexion. Available at cultbeauty.
Sanctuary Spa Bath Salts
There is also no spa moment without Sanctuary Spa of course. Their De-Stress Bath Salts give you a blissful bathe and help to warm up the body in the cold. The calming violet, jasmine and sandalwood scent relaxes and replenishes the mind, with crystalline flakes of magnesium which helps to soothe tired and aching muscles. The perfect remedy to help you to de-stress, unwind and relax. It’s scientifically proven to help you relax and fall asleep faster and for longer! Available at Boots.
