Alone time is underrated, but much needed. And it’s possibly the best thing you can do for yourself every day – try it, 20 minutes to yourself: Light some candles to set the scene. Read a book, dance to your favourite songs, whatever relaxes and rebalances you.
We’d also suggest creating a spa-like experience in your home. Because finding two hours to get a massage at a real spa can be near impossible (although you should still try, ’cause #treatyoself is important).
All you need is a luxurious body cream with an amazing scent that will remind you of your favourite spa. See our favourite body creams here:

The Body Shop Spa Of The World Japanese Camellia Cream, $12

It’s infused with camellia oil from Japan – something that’s been used by Japanese women since the eighth century to soften and moisturise skin. The rich texture, combined with the light scent of camellia, makes for a luxurious body cream (very befitting of it’s Spa Of The World tag.)
Kenzoki Sensual Bare Body Cream (Rice Steam), $78
image
The seductive concoction of ingredients in this body cream nourishes, moisturises, softens and leaves skin feeling satiny-smooth. We’re talking Kenzoki’s star ingredient: belle de nuit, combined with cupuacu butter (to nourish), and fig (to soften). The formula is further enhanced by rice plant water, that keeps the skin soft.
Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle Body Cream, $96

This is Aerin’s best-selling scent. Nothing too overpowering, this cream lightly perfumes the skin with a calming fragrance. Pro tip: If used in the morning, pair the cream with Aerin’s fragrance of the same scent, to prolong its longevity.
Philosophy Amazing Grace Magnolia Body Emulsion, $60

Full of moisturising ingredients – think shea butter, olive and macadamia oils – this body emulsion is so comforting on dry skin. And it leaves the skin smelling faintly of fresh magnolia.
