We are barely through winter but our skin has been through the ringer: holiday stress, wayward skincare routines, loads of sugar, and the season\u2019s first blizzard. As we approach winter\u2019s halfway mark, give your tired skin some TLC. Gather your best girlfriends for a winter spa day. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hosting a winter spa day is far less expensive than the real deal. Also, many people abstain from sugar or alcohol during the month of January, so it\u2019s a way to host a party that doesn\u2019t put an emphasis on food and drink — but who would pass up a chance to sip a mimosa in a bathrobe?<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything You Need for a Winter Spa Day at Home<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. BYOB<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bring your own bathrobe<\/a>, that is. Encourage everyone to wear clothes they can truly lounge in (think ultrasoft pajama pants<\/a>) and their fluffiest, coziest bathrobe and slippers. Slipping into a relaxed state of mind starts with the clothes we wear. When you go to a spa, you are provided with a robe and encouraged to wear soft, loose-fitting clothing. Encourage your guests to do the same. Let\u2019s be real: pants with zippers are for the birds.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Minimalist Magic<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tidy up your living room so everything looks neat and decluttered with a minimalist spa feel. Hide knick knacks and run the vacuum. Turn off the TV and turn on some \u2018spa tunes\u2019 on Pandora or Spotify: any soothing instrumentals that incorporate nature sounds like rain, gentle thunder, or birdsong. Make sure there are plenty of pillows and space for people to get comfortable. Set up stacks of magazines throughout the room. Strategically place some fresh flowers to bring the outdoors in and shake off the winter blues.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Aromatherapy<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first thing we notice when we step into a spa is the smell. The traditional blend of lavender and peppermint has an instant, calming effect. The scent of lavender is well-known for its stress-relieving benefits. Peppermint has a cooling, refreshing effect and is used in aromatherapy to increase mental alertness. Many claim that the oil has natural energy-boosting properties. Add peppermint and lavender scented candles or oil diffusers to the room so your guests can breathe deep and relax in a spa-like atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Drinks and Light Bites<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you want to keep the menu alcohol-free out of respect for your friends abstaining in January, opt for spa classics like cucumber water. Simply slice a cleaned cucumber (peeled or unpeeled, your preference) into \u00bd inch slices. Add to a pitcher of water with ice. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour, but for best results let sit overnight. You can make lemon water by swapping out lemons and following the same process. Opt for lighter food like fresh fruit, hummus, smoked salmon, pita wedges, veggies, or salad wraps. If you\u2019re including adult beverages, mimosas are a surefire hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Spa Stations<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unless you\u2019re a licensed massage therapist, the spa stations will be simple, but fun. Set up an adjoining bathroom with tea lights, exfoliating face washes, moisturizers, and face masks for a DIY facial station. Set up an area of the living room with nail polish remover, various polishes and finishes, and hand cream for manicures and pedicures. Print out instructions for shoulder and neck massages and guests can take turns giving each other massages. Lastly add a hair styling station with dry shampoo, spray-in conditioner, styling products, a curling iron, flat iron, combs, ties, and bobby pins. Have fun trying out online tutorials and styling each other\u2019s hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

While your party won\u2019t be on par with a 5-star spa, you and your guests are sure to have a great time catching up, enjoying snacks, and giggling at each other\u2019s face masks.
