Summer Self-Care Essentials: Patchology Eye Patches and Sheet Masks for a Spa Day at Home
By Kristina Garcia
Summer is the perfect time to indulge in a little self-care, especially when the sun and heat can leave your skin feeling less than fabulous. Our eye patches and sheet masks are your go-to solutions for tackling common summer skincare concerns like puffiness, dehydration, and sun damage, all while helping you achieve a radiant glow. Here’s how you can create your own spa day at home with Patchology's amazing products.
Five Essentials For Your Spa Day
Set the Mood: Transform your living room or bedroom into a tranquil oasis. Dim the lights, light some scented candles (avoid harsh chemicals), put on calming music, and gather your spa supplies. Fresh flowers or a scented diffuser can add another layer of relaxation.
Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean canvas. Take a warm shower or bath to open your pores. Exfoliate your body with a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells, then follow up with a hydrating body lotion. Don't forget to cleanse your face with your usual cleanser for a fresh base.
The Power of Masks:Sheet masks are a spa day staple. Choose a mask based on your needs - hydrating, brightening, or purifying. Apply the mask and relax for 5-20 minutes while you sip on herbal tea or cucumber water. Bonus points for chilling your mask in the fridge for an extra refreshing experience like On Ice or Bubbly.
Pamper Your Hands and Feet: Treat your hardworking hands and feet to some TLC. Soak them in warm water with a few drops of essential oil (lavender is a great choice for relaxation). Apply a nourishing hand cream and foot cream while you wait for your face mask to work its magic. You can even slip on some cozy hand and fee masks like Rosé Fingers and Rosé Toes.
The Ultimate Relaxation: Indulge in a relaxing massage. You can give yourself a simple foot massage or scalp massage using a hair oil. If you have a partner, take turns giving each other massages. Alternatively, put on some relaxing music and stretch out on a yoga mat for some gentle stretches to unwind your muscles.
Remember, the key to a successful spa day at home is to focus on relaxation and self-care. Put away your phone, disconnect from the outside world, and enjoy some much-needed pampering!

Transform Your Space into a Tranquil Spa Oasis: Light, Music, and Scents
Let's create a spa experience right in your own home! Here's how to set the scene with candles, music, and lighting for ultimate relaxation:
Light the Way to Zen
Dim the Lights: The first step is to ditch the harsh overhead lighting. Opt for a soft, warm glow. Use dimmer switches if you have them, or strategically place table lamps with warm white bulbs.
Candle Power: Candles are a classic spa essential. Choose soy or beeswax candles for a cleaner burn and natural fragrance. Opt for calming scents like lavender, chamomile, or sandalwood. Remember to place candles on heat-resistant surfaces and never leave them unattended.
Fairy Lights or String Lights: For a touch of magic, consider adding fairy lights or string lights draped around a mirror, bathtub, or shelf. The soft twinkle creates a whimsical and serene ambiance.
Music to Soothe the Soul
Nature Sounds: Escape to a peaceful forest or a babbling brook with calming nature soundscapes. You can find these online or on meditation apps.
Spa Instrumentals: Soft piano melodies, gentle harp music, or serene flute solos can create a tranquil atmosphere. Look for playlists like this Spa playlist on Spotify that is specifically designed for spa relaxation.
Ambient Sounds: Ambient music is a great choice if you prefer something more subtle. It often features gentle drones or soundscapes with minimal melody, creating a relaxing background atmosphere.
Aromatherapy for the Senses
Essential Oils: Diffuse essential oils to fill the air with calming scents. Lavender, chamomile, and bergamot are all excellent choices for promoting relaxation. Consider an essential oil diffuser or a simple oil burner.
Scented Candles: As mentioned before, scented candles can add a layer of fragrance to your spa experience. Choose calming scents from natural essential oils for the best effect.
Bonus Tip: Fresh flowers add a touch of beauty and a natural, uplifting scent to your spa space. Choose blooms with calming colors like lavender or white, or opt for plants known for their air-purifying properties like peace lilies or snake plants.
With these simple tips on lighting, music, and scents, you can easily transform your home into a haven of relaxation and create the perfect spa atmosphere for your at-home pampering session.
