If you’ve lost track of time and aren’t sure which day it is because each one is the same stressful day as the other, it’s a sign to take a step back with a spa weekend. One of the oldest human practices, spa treatments have been practiced since the Romans, who elevated taking care of their bodies with their bathhouses. In modern times, we learned its greater health benefits. Regular massages can improve blood flow while facials and other rejuvenating activities can help both the physical and mental state.
Filipinos have long taken to spas and putting their well-being as a priority. However, because of the rising COVID cases in the county, many spa destinations have opted to stay closed; with nowhere to turn to for a getaway, we only have our homes. Instead of a weekend itinerary that includes catching up on work or errands that you didn’t have time for, sit back and relax, and order in an at-home pamper special through Trunc’s The PowderRoom—an online one-stop shop for premium must-haves to create a spa day at home.
For The Deep Facial
Since we don’t have the technical know-how and high technology machines for a professional facial, here’s how to safely recreate the benefits and experience at home:
- Start with a clean face by going the extra mile and using a facial brush that can exfoliate and massage your skin at the same time. This will help cleanse and keep the skin youthful by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Try out CALA’s Sonic Facial Cleansing System that includes a 3-way brush to cater to your needs.
- Face masks require little to no effort to pamper yourself. Just rip open a packet of Lululun Face Mask from Beauty Bar and let it do all the work for you.
- Facials are all about the extra steps you take for your skin. After the face mask, layer on some of the new cult-favorite serums such as the Dear Klairs’ Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop and One Poreless Power Liquid by COSRX to visibly tighten and reduce the look of pores for an energized appearance.
- Lastly, set it all in with a decadent cream that delivers results. If your target is anti-aging, local brand Pili Ani’s Youthful Glow facial cream is an all-natural product that can help prevent fine lines and age spots. On the other hand, if you want that glowing Asian skin, opt for the Momo Puri Gel Cream.
For The Relaxing Massage
With no expert masseuse to relive our bodies from stress and tension, one thing you can do is enjoy a self-service foot spa at home with the Sole Food Foot Repair Kit by Earth Therapeutics. It includes soothing tea tree oil balms, scrubs, and most importantly foot massagers.
For The Weekend Scent Getaway
After a long day of work, sometimes all we need is to finally go on that overdue vacation but if booking a ticket isn’t an option, you can get pretty close to the feeling by with a sensorial experience. No need for an expensive bottle of perfume to remind you of a summer in the Caribbean. All it takes are a few hair and body products.
Try out AAA Floral Shower Gel by The Somerset Toiletry Company that was inspired by Antigua’s landscape and natural beauty that leaves a pure and gentle scent or the famous Huile Prodigieuse Florale Beauty Dry Oil by Nuxe which is an all-in-one skincare treatment that can reduce the appearance of stretch marks while giving you a whiff of freshly bloomed flowers.
