Whether it’s a girls’ night, mommy-daughter day, or a relaxing evening by yourself, we have the supplies for a natural DIY spa day. When we say all natural, we mean products made without preservatives, BPAs, and we only use natural colorants and essential oils.
When designing your own spa day you will want elements that encompass most, if not all, of your senses. By doing this, you will be setting the mood with:
Scent
Lighting
Texture
Sound
Taste
Set a date and make sure that it will be a time that you can actually relax. Next, order the items that you need. Then, to prep the space, clean it at least a day before your spa day so that we will be able to relax and it will be clutter-free.
To adjust the lighting:
Beeswax candles are the ideal alternative to conventional candles and artificial lights. We have beeswax candles available, which have been meticulously crafted. Attention has been given to every detail in the crafting of these beeswax candles: curating artistic molds, rigorously testing wicks, and triple-filtering wax to ensure every candle burns cleanly, drip-free, and beautifully. Each candle is a testament to the creator’s commitment to sustainability, artistry, and creating a product that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
Beeswax is nature’s gift, a renewable resource that burns longer and cleaner than any other wax. Its gentle honeyed scent and warm glow create a sanctuary of peace, transforming any space into a place of stillness and reflection. Slow Burn candles are not just products; they are tools for intention and connection, designed for those who value quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity. We have two beeswax candles ideal for setting the mood, they are:
-Beeswax Tea Lights – 4 pack (linked)
–And Twisted Taper Beeswax Candle (linked)
Taste:
Maybe your ideal snack and drink is sparkling water and seasoned popcorn, maybe it is a slice of cheesecake and a small glass of wine, or maybe it is a warm mug of tea and a cookie.
Something to taste is like a cherry on top, for a spa day. While not necessary, it adds to the full sensory experience. We have 5 lovely herbal teas in stock but for a spa day we would recommend the ‘Calm’ blend. It offers the benefits of invigorating and relaxing herbs such as lavender and peppermint while also helping you adapt to your stresses with the adaptogenic herb, Tulsi.

Sound:
Music tastes can vary so much from person to person, but the tempo of the music and the intensity have a huge effect on whether the music is calming and relaxing. Since music taste is such a personal preference, we won’t recommend any specific playlists, but we will recommend that you play your favorite calming playlist, search for Lo-fi songs, or search for calming playlists, etc.
When you play your music, consider volume. You will want it to be heard, but not so loud that you feel like you have to yell so that you can talk.
Touch:
Soft is one of the characteristics that comes to mind when considering which towel, some natural fiber socks, or a natural fiber bathrobe would be ideal for a spa day.
Scent:
The sense of smell can be the most fun, customizable, and can even affect the emotional experience. Research shows that using lavender essential oil can actually reduce depression symptoms. (1)
Under the lighting recommendations, we mentioned beeswax candles, which offer a light, honey-like scent. But we have many scent-related products we think you will love. We only scent our skincare products with pure essential oils, and we create products with a variety of blends, including bar soap, lotion bars, balms & shampoo and conditioner bars. We are confident that you will find a scent you love.
Let’s get started:
For a spa day, we would recommend:
- Prepare your beverage of choice and gather your snack. Find a place to put these items near your tub or bed.
- Heat our Therapeutic Lavender Comfort Pack (linked) and throw the pack on you, while you listen to your favorite music. Wait for the bath tub to fill, and enjoy the benefits of heat, with lavender essential oils and lavender buds. For more calming effects, add 1 cup of epsom salt to your bathwater.
- Before getting into the bath, dry brush your whole body using the method mentioned in our ‘Dry Brushing’ blog post. You can also find a dry brush at: https://dandelionnaturals.com/product/dry-brush/
- Remove any makeup you have on your face. You may find our 7 pack of Two Ply Bamboo White Makeup Remover Pads at: https://dandelionnaturals.com/product/7-pack-of-two-ply-bamboo-white-makeup-remover-pads/
- Place a Natural Konjac Facial Cleansing Sponge (linked) near your bath and a Bamboo Pedicure 4 in 1 Tool (linked). You will use both these items to exfoliate while taking a bath. The Facial sponge will be for your face, and the Pedicure tool will be for any problem spots you have on your feet.
- After your bath, it is time to truly enjoy your sense of smell. We recommend you try our Frankincense Tallow Balm with Castor Oil (linked) for your face and body.
- Once you have a balm on your face, try using a cold Rose Quartz Gua Sha Facial Stone (linked) and running it along your face in an upward motion. This will help sculpt your face while also toning your face.
- To finish off an all-natural spa day, apply our Happy Feet Balm (linked) to your feet. After applying our Happy Feet Balm, find some wool socks and finish the day out with some more relaxing activities that you love
We trust that you will be able to truly relax and unwind while also being inspired to rest in the fact that we have crafted our products with only the best, holistic ingredients!
