With the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic still in place, this year’s Valentine’s Day is going to be different, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be one to remember! Spa breaks are the perfect treat for you and your loved one to look forward to, but sadly the option is not available to us this year so it is time to bring the spa to you and enjoy a spa day at home. Whether you and your partner are living together or are planning a virtual date night, here are our simple Valentine’s Day ideas at home to enjoy the luxurious feeling of a spa without the need to leave your front door.
Start the Night Right with a Luxurious Soak
There is no better day to create the bubble bath of dreams. One of our essentials for a spa day at home is a relaxing bath to put your mind at ease and release the stress from your body. Light some candles, put on a relaxing playlist and use all of your favourite pampering products. Whether it’s muscle relaxing Epsom salts, a bath bomb bursting with colour or essential oils in a delightful scent, find your happy place and start your evening feeling refreshed from the get go.
A Spa Day at Home wouldn’t be Complete without a Facial
Now it’s time to give your skin the TLC it deserves! A facial is amazing for reducing stress as well as improving the circulation and detoxifying the skin, leaving you with a youthful glow. When carrying out your spa day at home, start with a deep cleanse of your face and then use an exfoliator to buff away and dead skin cells. Now it’s time to enjoy a therapeutic massage; whether you carry this out yourself or take turns with your partner, take your time to get the most from your massage. Now it’s time to apply your favourite serum or moisturiser to leave your skin feeling nourished and healthier than ever.
Drift Off into Relaxation and Relax in Style
Now that you’re feeling truly pampered, it’s time to spend some quality time with your loved one. Coming up with Valentine’s Day ideas at home may seem disheartening but enjoying each other’s presence and disconnecting from the stresses of everyday life will allow you to connect in a new way. Make sure to grab your favourite snacks and maybe even pop open a bottle of fizz to add a more luxury touch to your spa day at home. Turn off any outside distractions such as your mobile phones (unless you are video calling!) and spend time doing your favourite activities; whether that be board games or painting, the choice is yours.
Although our Valentine’s Day ideas at home allow you to make what you can out of a lockdown date night, a spa break gift voucher may be the perfect uplift you both need to look forward to. If you have a special occasion coming up or cannot wait to get back into your favourite spa, a gift voucher will mean your loved one can make a booking on a date that suits them!
