How to Have an Amazing Spa Day With a Friend at Home

Instructions

• 1

  Designate a portion of your home as the spa section. A bathroom is ideal since tile floors can become wet without risking damage. Clean your bathroom and prepare a relaxation area; for example a front porch, yard, or living room with lots of natural light.

• 2

  Clean the bathroom and place scented candles on the counter and the edge of the tub. Place two lounge chairs in the relaxation area of your house. Place a CD player in the relaxation area and play a disc featuring nature sounds or a style of music that both you and your friend find relaxing.

• 3

  Concoct a face mask intended to brighten the complexion and smooth the skin. Cook ½ cup of oatmeal and combine it with three tablespoons of honey before placing it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Brew two cups of black tea and chill the tea bags in the refrigerator for 30 minutes as well.

• 4

  Ask your friend to bring comfortable clothing such as bathrobe and slippers to your spa day. Lend her these items if she doesn't own them.

• 5

  When your friend arrives, wash your faces in the bathroom and help each other apply the oatmeal face mask. Lie down on the lounge chairs in the relaxation area, and place the chilled tea bags over your eyes to reduce puffiness and dark circles.

• 6

  After 10 to 20 minutes, wash off the face masks and apply moisturizer to your skin. Make iced tea by adding two cups of ice to the black tea you have brewed and relax with your friend in your home spa environment.
