French DIY Home Spa Day

 Self Care at Home: OuiPlease Edition

Stressed and unable to stop in at your normally scheduled facial, nail, or hair appointments? Stay-at-home orders may affect your normal outside routine, but it should not have to put a wrench in your mental health and self care accommodations. The French are all about paying attention to your body and letting your natural beauty shine from within by treating the body well, so gather a few items to achieve that flawless, just-woke-up French beauty by creating an at home spa day for yourself.

The French have long been known to utilize properties of the sea, as well as fresh water, to enhance their spa treatments and tap into the natural qualities of water-based treatments. Inventors of Thalassotherapy, the process of utilizing seawater for health and cosmetic treatments, the French are big proponents of making water a key, and natural, ingredient in their spa treatments. While you may not be able to be in a beautiful spa fortress in coastal France, you can aim to replicate these revitalizing water techniques in your own bathroom!
