When you picture the average person who enjoys spa sessions at home, a man might not necessarily be the first thing you think of.

But men deserve as much time to indulge in self-care, relax and be pampered as their female, transgender, and nonbinary counterparts.

In fact, self-care is essential for general health according to the WHO, and includes exercise, practising good hygiene, seeing friends, eating healthily, and relaxation.

So stay tuned to find out five fantastic spa night at home ideas – for him!

1. Set the mood with therapeutic essential oils

Dim the lights, whip out some candles, and get the atmosphere smelling sensual with a high-quality essential oil diffuser like this one from Aromatherapy Associates.

It’s ultra-quiet and even gives off a ‘soft halo’ of light – perfect for relaxation.

2. Have a relaxing bath

Baths aren’t just for the ladies you know!

On a subconscious level, a bath can imitate the sense of being in the womb, taking us right back to our childlike innocence before birth.

Baths can even alleviate feelings of depression and pessimism… so what better than a feel-good soak as part of his very own spa night?

3. Exfoliate the skin with a face mask

Get his skin feeling squeaky clean and shot of nasty dead skin cells with a high-quality exfoliator like this foam one from FILORGA.

And remember – you don’t need to exfoliate more than once or twice a week, or you could cause excessive damage to the skin.

You could also include an eye treatment to restore and promote cell regeneration like this one from Natura Bissé – to banish those pesky eyebags!

4. Don’t neglect the beard

A man’s facial forest needs a little TLC from time to time too, so why not try a beard oil treatment as part of a spa night at home for him?

Designed with even the bristliest beards in mind, it’s great for restructuring and conditioning those split ends, and only needs to be used once a week.

Try this one by Proraso and watch his beard flourish.

5. And finally, enjoy a massage

You couldn’t have a home spa experience without a massage, and he deserves one too!

Areas like his head, neck, back, and legs can all easily get sore over the course of the day, but if you don’t give massage regularly, you might feel a little strange doing it at first.

But don’t fret – here’s a guide to a back rub on YouTube for beginners that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

He’ll be putty in your hands, we promise!
