Ahh… There’s nothing quite like treating yourself to a spa day. Sometimes, it’s simply not possible to work a day into your busy schedule just for a little self care. But, when you have a hot tub, everyday is a day at the spa!  Hot tubs are the perfect way to transform your backyard into an oasis of relaxation and comfort. Not only do they provide a great way to unwind after a long day, but they can also offer a range of health benefits, such as easing sore muscles and reducing stress levels. With a few simple steps, you can create an at-home spa experience in the comfort of your own home. 

Set the Mood for Your At-Home Spa

The first step to creating a spa-like atmosphere is to set the mood. This can be done by dimming the lights or even adding some candles around the hot tub. Outdoor battery powered candles look realistic and can even be set up on timers. You can also play some relaxing music or nature sounds to help you unwind.

Add Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy can be a great addition to your hot tub experience. You can add essential oils, such as lavender or eucalyptus, to your infuser to create a soothing scent. Or, you can add specialty aromatherapy crystals directly to the hot tub’s water. This can help to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation.

Treat Your Skin

A spa day isn’t complete without some skin pampering. Try using your favorite face mask while soaking in the hot tub. Keep in mind that any special lotions or body creams you want to use during your at-home spa day should be applied after soaking in your hot tub. These will keep your water from becoming contaminated with oils and fragrances that may clog your filter or upset your water’s balance.

Create a Relaxing Environment

Creating a relaxing environment can help you to fully immerse yourself in the spa experience. Enjoy the soothing sounds of your backyard’s nature. Or, play your favorite audiobook on a smart device or built in wireless audio system. 

Enjoy an At-Home Spa Massage

One of the best things about going to a spa is getting a massage. You can recreate this experience at home by using hot tub jets to massage your muscles. Strategically placed jets make for the best massage experience. Simply turn on your jets and relax as water works out tension, soreness, and stiffness in your muscles. Effortlessly move from seat to seat to experience a different massage while taking in a new view of your yard.

Stay Hydrated

It’s important to stay hydrated while using a hot tub. You can bring some refreshing drinks, such as infused water or herbal tea, to sip on while you soak. This will not only help you to stay hydrated but also add to the overall spa experience.
