hen visits to the spa are not possible, you can borrow from spa rituals we curated from our partners. When the temptation towards the couch and remote control is overwhelming, here are some things you can do to become a true warrior of wellness.
Spruce Up Your Morning Routine
Destination spas like our partners Mii Amo at Enchantment and Canyon Ranch start the day with a hike, meditation or yoga. Your start to the morning sets the tone for the whole day., If it’s tough to motivate yourself to exercise first thing in the morning, pick something simple like drinking warm lemon water or making green juice or a smoothie.
If exercise is your morning “go to”, try spending time in nature (applying socially-distancing, of course). Studies have found that heading outdoors to exercise is more enjoyable than doing the same activity while cooped up inside, and you'll feel a lift in your mood after just 5 minutes. Working out is also one of the best ways to bust anxiety: Research shows that it promotes the release of endorphins and reduces cortisol.
Turn your Bathroom into a Spa Experience
Steam rooms are an integral part of a luxury spa experience. It’s easy to create the “scent” station of a spa steam room at home. After heating up your shower, spritz Body Bliss Eucalyptus Mint Shower Mist and stress-relieving Eucalyptus Lavender Shower Mist to instantly be taken back to the spa. More of a bath person? Try a few sprays directly into bath water.
Create your own Spring Purification Ritual
Spas are big on ritual. You can create your own Spring purification ritual with the Prickly Pear Home Spa Kit. This gift set includes products for face and body.
1. Begin with an intention-setting ceremony by lighting a candle and stating what you are grateful for. Take a few deep breaths.
2. Apply Prickly Pear Sacred Clay Mask to your face for 20 minutes to detoxify and purify your skin.
3. Step into your bath or shower and apply Prickly Pear Jojoba Sugar Body Polish with hands or loofah for increased exfoliation.
4. After rinsing off the body polish, apply a generous amount of Prickly Pear Jojoba Body Butter. Take time to massage into the skin. (Better yet, let your partner take over this part.)
5. Apply Prickly Pear Age Defense Facial Treatment Oil and leave on throughout the day for maximum absorption.
