Tip # 8.

Fluff up several towels in the dryer and have them warm and ready. This should be done minutes before you enter the bathroom.

Tip # 9.

Fresh cut fruit adds a fresh scent as well as has a cooling effect in your mouth as you relax in the steamy water.

Strawberries, grapes or melons are a good choice, choose a fruit that you enjoy and don’t often treat yourself to.

Tip # 10.

Some would prefer to enjoy a good glass of wine in this environment while others may prefer a cool glass of water or a fresh squeezed juice.

Tip # 11.

The sense of smell is also very powerful in the relaxation process so use products with scents that you enjoy and associate with peace and relaxation.

Tip # 12.

Fresh flowers are also very fragrant and can add a nice touch. Some even prefer to add the petals to the water before entering the tub.

Tip # 13.

Choose some soothing background music that will not overtake the room, but rather help create that spa feel (check out 40 Best Romantic Songs for This Winter for the great tunes…)

Tip # 14.

Another powerful prop that can be used to help you unwind and relax is a table top fountain. The soothing sounds of running water are powerful.

Most luxury spas have incorporated a waterfall or indoor fountain to some degree into their spa experience. Indoor table top fountains are the prefect prop to gain the same effect.

Tip # 15.

Put on a face mask and a hair mask while you are in the tub. It might be a great time to try some home-made recipes you never tried before!  Like these 5 Home-Made Face Masks for Winter Skin Care…

For the best result put two slices of cucumber on your eyes. They will reduce the puffiness and the dark circles around your eyes (read  5 Tips on How to Get Rid of under Eye Dark Circles and Puffiness…).

Tip # 16.

At the end of your Spa experience, use your favorite body scrub and don’t forget to put on some body lotion and face moisturizer to sooth your skin.

Tip # 17.

If you still have some time to spare, you might consider giving yourself a manicure and a pedicure!  Or at least change your nail polish color to the hue you’ve never tried before…
