Spa Day

Posted on by Tim Storey

Our social commitments are low and anxieties sky-high. So it's the perfect time to check in to a spa and enjoy some self-care. But what if we can enjoy the spa-feeling at home?

You can recreate an inspiring spa experience at home in no time at all. Sure, it's not the same without certain professional facilities and therapists on hand, but you can achieve something more sophisticated than simply reclining in the bath with a few candles for company.

The sites and smells of a professional spa can be recreated at home very easily with scented candles and a bit of mood lighting.

Throw in a few comfy cushions and some beauty products and you are well on your way to that at-home spa experience.

How to Wax Your Legs

Twenty-four hours before waxing, we recommend using a scrub for best results. Our gentle cleansing soap scrub bar is an excellent choice for this.

1. Ensure your skin is freshly cleaned to avoid infections.

2. When using hard waxes, heat the wax in your microwave for about 30-second intervals. Stir the wax in-between each round until it reaches the consistency of thick honey. Always patch-test the wax temperature on the back of your wrist to ensure it's not too hot.

3. Spread the warmed-up hard wax on your legs in sections,  using a wax spatula. If using strips, simply warm the strips between your hands and apply to your legs, pressing in the direction of growth.

4. For hard wax, wait until it dries (but is still soft). You don't need to wait for strip wax to dry, but the same advice applies to both: "Pull against the hair growth."

5. To minimize stinging, quickly apply pressure after pulling the wax off. You can do ...
