We can’t always find the time to unwind and relax at our local spa, which is why many of us have turned to creating our own relaxing spa experience at home. Not only is it a more affordable spa day option, but it allows for a more customizable experience.
Here are a few DIY relaxing blends you can incorporate into your next home spa experience.
DIY Clay Mask
If you have clogged pores or you are just looking to refresh and brighten your complexion, then this DIY clay mask is definitely something you will want to try out at home.
What You Need
- Bentonite Clay
- Tea Tree Oil
- Apple Cider Vinegar
Directions
- Start by combining the clay and vinegar. Stir it well.
- Add three to four drops of tea tree oil. Mix well to get rid of any clumps
- Apply the mixture to your face, being careful to avoid your eyes and mouth
- Let the clay mask dry for 10 to 12 minutes before rinsing with warm water
DIY Exfoliant and Scrub
An exfoliant breaks down and scrubs away the impurities on our skin, including dead skin, dirt, and bacteria. Try this DIY scrub for refreshed and younger-looking skin once a week. It works well with combination skin.
What You Need
- ½ cup of extra fine sea salt
- ½ cup fine granulated sugar

DIY Hair Mask
When applying a hair mask, you want to do so to damp or dry hair. A wide tooth comb can be used to distribute the mask more evenly. This DIY hair mask recipe is suitable for all hair types.
What You Need
- Two parts coconut oil
- One part jojoba oil
Directions
- Microwave the coconut oil (about a quarter cup) until it is liquefied
- Stir in the jojoba oil (about two tablespoons)
- Coat your hair with the oil from the roots to the tips
- Work it in until the hair is saturated
- Leave the mask on for about 20 minutes
- Rinse and shampoo as normal
