A self-care session provides you with a break from the stresses in your life to concentrate on finding inner peace. How you pamper yourself may be different from others, but any form of self-care can create a positive impact upon your mental, emotional, and physical health which elevates your natural beauty.

Let’s dive into the many things you can do to pamper yourself at home!

1) Home Foot Spa Hack For A Smoother Feet

It’s time to give your tootsies some Tender Loving Care (TLC) for the heavy-duty they do everyday. Start with exfoliating foot masks to help break down dead skin, then rub your feet using a wetted pumice stone to get rid of calluses and corns. However, if you do not have either but do have some honey, coconut milk and cinnamon powder at home, you can try out this effective DIY Foot Soak recipe to moisturise, soothe and exfoliate your feet:

Mix 1 cup (235ml) of honey, 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 cup of warm water in a small tub
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
Soak your feet for 30 minutes and then gently towel dry them
Repeat this process at least once a week

2) Create The Perfect Zen-Like Atmosphere With uMist Aroma

Aromatherapy is a nice and convenient stress relief method for busy people who need a quick stress reliever. Enjoy the soothing aroma of your favourite essential oil with our uMist Aroma which utilises ultrasonic technology to break up water into extremely fine mist quietly, along with a multi-colour ambient light mode for you to enjoy a relaxing environment every time you turn it on.

Fill your room with scent while you attend to other activities at home or combine it with other stress relievers (like massage or meditation) for increased stress relief. Check out these top 3 spa smells you need to make your space feel totally blissed out:

Lavender - Best for stress and anxiety relief to make you feel completely at ease.
Eucalyptus - Helps you breathe easier, ward off mosquitoes and disinfect your home.
Sandalwood - To improve mood, relaxation and focus.

3) Personalised Acupressure Massage Experience At Home

After a tiring day, all you need is a good leg massage to get rid of the tiredness and feel rejuvenated again. Besides a good diet and an active lifestyle, acupressure massage can boost your energy, relieve pain, improve vital organ health, and minimise stress and anxiety. But instead of doing it yourself or heading down to a massage parlour, you can get your daily feet, calves and thighs massage in the comfort of your home with OSIM’s uSqueez 3.

The uSqueez 3 comes with a mobile app with 10 built-in auto massage programs and 2 downloadable programs to delight yourself with endless massage experiences as you relax at home. With OSIM’s state-of-the-art massage technologies, the uSqueez 3 offers auto calf height detection, calf-to-thigh glide, leg stretch massage and acupressure point press; all of which are effective in relieving stress, promote better sleep and soothe muscle aches.

4) Deep Breathing Exercises For Ultimate Relaxation

Take a deep breath — a phrase we are all too familiar with when it comes to relieving stress and frustration. But it actually works! Meditation can reduce anxiety, sharpen memory, and promote more restful sleep. There are thousands of forms of meditation and with them come different breathing techniques. Here are three simple yet powerful meditative breathing techniques to help you achieve a peace of mind:

1) Diaphragmatic Breathing - Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest then take a deep breath through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Repeat 3 to 10 times.

2) Box Breathing - Slowly count to four for a total of four times — four counts of breathing in, four counts of holding your breath, four counts of exhaling and four more counts of holding after you exhale.

3) Resonant Breathing - Fully inhale for a count of 5 and fully exhale for a count of 5. Continue this breathing pattern for at least a few minutes.

Even though work and other responsibilities may take up a bulk of our time, you will be better equipped to handle the stressors in your life when you take some time to care for your mind and body. Many people view self-care as a luxury, rather than a priority. It is important to assess how you are caring for yourself in several different ways so you can ensure you are caring for your mind, body, and spirit. Self-care looks different for everyone, and it is important to find what you need and enjoy – it can be an everyday aromatherapy session with our uMist Aroma or an everyday massage therapy session with our uSqueez3.
