GENEVIEVE STERBENZ is the co-author of The Home Spa: Creating a Personal Sanctuary. As a former model, B. knows a lot of beauty tricks, but Genevieve showed her new recipes for making a Salt Scrub and a Fragrant Milk Bath. You dont have to remodel your bathroom or invest in expensive new equipment to create a relaxing sanctuary in your own home. Genevieve has these suggestions:
Even if your spa is a tiny shower, hang eucalyptus sprays from the showerhead or in the pockets of a shower curtain. The moisture from the shower will release the relaxing fragrance. If you dont have eucalyptus, any herbs will do.
Use fresh roses by the edge of the tub, or sprinkle rose petals in your bath for a really luxurious touch.
A stack of thick towels by the bath gives a sense of luxury. Invest in a soft and absorbent bath mat.
A bath pillow aids relaxation. A small table or stool by the side of the tub can hold your beauty items.
Set up an area in the bathroom where you keep treasured keepsakes that remind you of happy and calm times. These might include seashells from a walk on the beach, an object that reminds you of a loved one or anything else that relaxes the body and soothes the soul.
