Pamper Night: 20 Steps to Luxury
Stressed? In need of some relaxation? A pamper night is calling your name...
Sometimes, we all need to take a little time for ourselves.
At home, pampering doesn’t need to be difficult, all you need is a few essentials! Adding some touches of luxury here and there will make all the difference.
Not sure how it’s done? Here are our top tips for the most luxurious pamper evening possible. All the indulgences featured here are entirely guilt-free!
Light Some Candles
Want to have a spa evening at home? Think of all your different senses - starting with smell.
Spas often use natural scents, such as lavender, to create the fragrance that has become synonymous with relaxation. This inviting aroma is easy enough to recreate with a few candles.
We recommend using non-toxic candles, made from natural ingredients, to prevent harmful chemicals being released when burnt.
Burn Some Incense
If you’ve turned your bedroom into a sanctuary, it’s likely you’re already familiar with incense.
But, for those of us who are unfamiliar, it has the ability to de-stress and evoke a sense of tranquillity. So, it’s unsurprising they’re a welcome guest at every good pamper night.
Put On Tranquil Tunes
To set the tone of your evening, the right music is a must. The theme should be relaxing, but choose whatever complements your taste.
Pop Open Some Bubbles
Wondering how to have a pamper day at home? The trick is to treat yourself.
A cold glass of something bubbly is one of the main pamper night essentials. Anything in the prosecco and champagne family is invited.
Make a Relaxing Drink
If you’d rather something non-alcoholic, this is also perfectly welcome.
In fact, this is probably advisable, as this evening is all about relaxation! Peppermint tea or hot chocolate are often popular choices.
Run a Bubble Bath
With your glass of bubbles (or drink of choice) nearby, it’s time to run a bath.
There are no rules for how much bubble bath you’re allowed to use. Pour in as much as you need to feel relaxed!
The benefits of having a long, warm bath are endless. While it’s one of the best ways to unwind and de-stress before bed, it also helps with deep muscle relaxation and takes care of your skin.
Get Out the Body Scrub
Exfoliating your skin regularly is a must. Not only will you feel good, you’ll reduce the likelihood of skin breakouts, challenge the aging process and improve your skin texture.
Massage the Roots
Whatever shampoo and conditioner you use, when you leave the bath, your hair should be a mixture of delicious aromas. Tea tree is perfect for an evening of this nature, as it naturally relaxes the body.

Take Care of Your Hair
Hair oil is another little indulgence that can make a big difference to how you feel. Run this through the ends of your hair after towel-drying it.
Wrap Up in a Dressing Gown
Even if you’re having a pamper night at home, you can still achieve that spa-feeling once out of the bath.
The first step is to put on a luxurious organic cotton dressing gown. This material is recommended as it’s gentle and soft on skin, perfect for this occasion.
Pamper Night Skin Regime
A good skincare routine will make your DIY pamper day feel like a professional trip to the spa.
Once out of the bath and wrapped up in your dressing gown, it’s time to look after your skin.
When you define ‘pamper’, nothing springs to mind quite like a cosy night in and a great skincare routine.
Cleanse
The first step is to reach for your facial cleanser. No pamper routine is complete without it!
This helps clear excess oil and dirt from your skin. The best time to do this is after a bath, as the hot water opens your pores.
Face Mask
Nothing says ‘pamper session’ like a face mask!
We recommend using organic masks or natural scrubs for the best results. These will instantly rejuvenate and nourish your skin, and reduce the risk of irritation.
Moisturise
You can leave your face mask on for as long as you like, there’s no rush to remove it.
But, when you do feel like taking it off, make sure you moisturise afterwards.
Reach for the Body Moisturiser
It’s not just your face that needs taking care of! Be sure to give the rest of your body some much needed attention. You’ll be amazed at how silky soft your skin will feel in the morning.
Paint Your Nails
When it comes to spa night essentials - no evening would be complete without your nails glistening with a fresh coat of paint.
Find Your Hand Cream
Once your nails are dry, make your hands feel luxuriously soft again. If you’re having a pamper day at home, this one is a must!

The Finishing Touches
If a party isn’t for you, it’s time to get ready for bed.
By now, your body for more than prepared for a great night’s sleep.
But, before you get snuggled into bed, there are a few more steps you shouldn’t miss!
One of the best pamper night ideas is to use a lavender spray on your sheets, just before your head hits the pillow. You’ll already be smelling of a luxury spa, but this mist is a great finishing touch to help you sleep better!
