How to Make a Spa at Home
If you're tired of spending hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars on spa treatments, consider setting up an at-home spa. While the initial investment might seem hefty, the overall savings add up over the years. For a true at-home spa experience, you need more than salt scrubs and lotion. You need spa equipment and accessories for full relaxation. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Shop around at home improvement stores for a spa jet bathtub. These bathtubs are large and have jets all around the tub. They are more spa-like, because they give you a massage and help relieve stress.
-
2
Buy an outdoor sauna for your backyard or patio deck. These come as do-it-yourself kits, or you can hire a contractor to build a custom sauna for you. Get into your sauna before having a massage or giving yourself a facial.

Turn off your phones, computer and television. The only outside noise you should have is soothing mood or nature music.
-
4
Hire a masseuse to come to your house with a massage table and supplies at time shortly after you've enjoyed the tub and sauna.
-
5
Stock your cabinets with sugar and salt scrubs, lotions, body brushes, loofahs, bath pillows and massage oils. Buy a plush, white robe and matching slippers.

6
Enjoy a light menu for the day, including fruit salad, lettuce wrapped tuna, cucumber water and leafy salads. If possible, avoid heavy eating a few days before treating yourself to a spa day.
