Leave everyday life behind and let yourself be pampered, that's the latest trend. For those who don't want to miss out on relaxation but don't have the time, money or desire for a real spa, wellness at home is the answer.
Recharging the batteries after a hard week at work doesn't have to be expensive. A few candles, a bubble bath, a nice scrub, a warm tea or sparkling champagne depending on the time and your preference.
For the wellness at home program it needs only minimal preparation and most of the "ingredients" for the relaxation cure in autumn you have lying around at home anyway.
Whether alone or with your best friend, such a wellness evening at home works wonders and is really fun.
The instructions for maximum relaxation are here, because the perfect wellness day at home wants to be well planned :) .

1. wellness at home with homemade bath additive
A hot bath relaxes tense muscles and is balm for the soul. Especially if you refine the water with pleasant bath additives. With a few candles, a hot tea and a great book, nothing stands in the way of bathing fun.
If you are motivated enough to mix your own bath additive, you can be sure that only good ingredients are included and save money. My 3 favorite bath additives are:
The Cleopatra bath for dry skin:
The beautiful Egyptian pharaoh knew about the nurturing properties of milk and is said to regularly take a bath with Milk have taken as an additive. The bath consists of two ingredients:
- Honey
- 1 liter milk
The honey is first dissolved in the warm milk and then added to the bath water. The milk protects the skin from dryness, as it has a refatting effect.
Citrus Rosemary Bath for the freshness kick:
The invigorating, anti-inflammatory lemon is great when you want to wake up or have a Freshness kick needs. Together with the aromatic rosemary and a bit of orange, this makes for a fresh, pleasant bathing experience.
- 2 tsp dried zest from one lemon
- 1 tsp dried zest from one orange
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
Mix everything well and stir into the hot bath water. Smells incredibly good and wakes up from hibernation.
Salt bath with essential oils:
The effect that salt water has on our skin, we already know from the Beach vacation. But even far from the sea you do not have to do without the skin care effect. Sea salt makes the skin firmer and rosier. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect, wounds heal faster.
- 500g sea salt (coarser salt takes longer to dissolve!)
- 25 drops of essential oil (I always use Rose oil*)
- Possibly still Coconut oil* for soft skin
Mix the ingredients well and pack in an airtight container.
Who is looking for a nice gift, or like to tinker for which are our homemade bath balls certainly the cracker.
2. wellness at home with full body peeling
Wonderfully soft skin you get with a full body scrub. There are many great peelings to buy but the Ganzköperpeeling I swear on coffee grounds. For all coffee drinkers who do not have a capsule machine, this is a perfect alternative to the purchased scrub.
Otherwise, you would throw away the coffee grounds anyway. Besides does such a Caffeine kick also very good for your skin! She will shine like never before.
- Coffee grounds
- 1-2 tablespoons oil (any oil)
- 1-2 TBSP Cinnamon*
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Mix everything well and apply to the skin. Leave on until it begins to dry and then wipe off with lukewarm water.
It is best to use the scrub immediately and mix up a new one if needed.
3. wellness at home with a homemade face mask
What would a day of pampering be without "mud" on your face? Not so great in my opinion. Here too, of course, there are simple recipes to make yourself. Depending on the needs of the skin, there are different masks that give your skin back its "glow". Den also the skin care may be on Wellness evening not be missing.
Face mask for dry skin
From one avocado and 3 tablespoons of honey you can make a creamy mask that is wonderful for dry skin. The ingredients contained in the avocado Antioxidants and minerals do really good.
Apply the mask on cleansed face and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then gently rinse off with lukewarm water and rinse with cooler. Ready :) .
Face mask for oily skin
From half a (mashed) cucumber, 3 tablespoons of yogurt and a few squeezes of lemon, make a clarifying Mask that is perfect for slightly oily skin. After that, the skin looks wonderfully clear and clean.
Apply the mask on cleansed face and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then gently rinse off with lukewarm water and rinse with cooler. Ready :) .
Face mask for combination skin
For combination skin is suitable mask with oats. Because oats acts soothing and contains valuable silica. Simply process 2 tablespoons of oats into powder, 1 tablespoon. Cinnamon* and mix 2 tablespoons each of lemon juice and honey. The miracle weapon for blemished skin is ready.
Apply the mask on cleansed face and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then gently rinse off with lukewarm water and rinse with cooler. Ready :) .
My conclusion:
Wellness at home is best closed with something you super love to do. No matter if you start baking, reading, listening to music or being creative. The important thing is to give yourself some time in which you do only what you want.
A nice ending for the cozy wellness evening would perhaps be a movie? Let the day end with delicious ice cream or a warm cocoa and simply do nothing at all without a guilty conscience.
Have fun with your own wellness at home session!
