Treat yourself to a little wellness at home

You don’t have to fly off to exotic hotels to get the most out of warm water pools and beauty treatments. You can turn your bathroom into a weekend Spa with a little time and inspiration.

• A steaming herbal foam bath can do wonders for a tired back and muscle tension. Feel the aches and pains deliciously slip away as your body relaxes and soaks up the heat.

• Aromatic candles and relaxing music add to the wellness ambience. Why not open a bottle of champagne and savour some calming time together with your partner.

• A foot massage revives your feet after a long bath. Ask your partner to try his skills at finding the right pressure points. There are lots of books available to help get the most out of this age-old science.

The more colourful ideas you have in your home Spa, the better you can pamper yourself.
