“For example, special attention to the feet one afternoon can feel luxurious, rather than squeezing foot care into one long, exhausting event,” she says.
“Some care recipients might even like the idea of ‘appointments’ for these ‘special services’, giving them some sense of control and a feeling of being pampered.” Here are some ideas for dividing the home spa experience into individual treatments:
- Give the hand special treatment with a massage, cuticle treatment and a manicure.
- A pedicure can include a relaxing foot massage or special foot scrub.
- Facials can be very relaxing. Try using special lotions and gentle massage.
- For one home spa treatment, focus on washing and styling the hair.
- Schedule extra bath time to include a nice long soak, and use oils or soap that moisturize the skin.
- For a special treat, try giving a full body massage to help release tension.
