And if you’re looking for anything else to do this Valentine’s, try taking a look at these;
And don’t think I’ve left you ladies out. If you’re hosting Galentine’s day, a spa day is perfect so do read on and check out some of these to help with the perfect girls night;
Now with all that said and done. Let’s create the perfect at home DIY spa this Valentines.
Creating the Spa Atmosphere at Home
Setting the Mood with Candles and Aromatherapy
First things first, let's set the vibe. Candles? Check. Essential oils? Double-check. I once turned my living room into a candlelit haven, and the aroma of lavender and vanilla instantly transported me to relaxation station.
Slip into something comfortable, here’s a few guides for valentines day to help you with that;
And get that mood set perfectly.
Tip: Mix and match scents to find your perfect combo. It's like creating a personalized spa playlist for your nose.
Here are a few top picks for transforming your home into a spa.
Aromatherapy Scented Oil Diffuser
First up is my ultimate essential for any home or DIY spa day. The aromatherapy diffuser. These work with a few drops of essential oils which are relaxingly misted throughout your room. There’s loads of these you could pick, this is the exact one I have, it’s one of the cheapest but I’ve never had an issue with it.
Not only does the aroma set the mood, but the way it looks, the mist coming out, and those changing lights really add to the spa feel.
Calming Spa Candle
A spa isn’t a spa without some candles. I recommend picking up a bunch of tea lights and having them spread around the house. However, I have to mention calming candles, specifically, lavender candles and even more specifically - This Yankee lavender candle.
Rose Petals
Finally, this is Valentine’s day after all. So to separate this from being a regular spa day and turn it into a full on couples relaxation home date night valentines extravaganza - you’re going to want some rose petals.
And since you have the rose petals and it is Valentines. Why not go all out with some Valentines decor? Check out this valentines decoration guide - the indoor love tent is an absolute must, not to mention the valentines Christmas tree! yes, you read that right.
Top Tip: This is more of a warning then a tip but do not buy real rose petals. Trust me. I worked in a hotel for quite some time and if there is one thing I’ve learnt about romantic nights in, it’s not to use real rose petals. The reason? They stain like crazy.
Your bath will turn red which isn’t attractive and if you’re using them for a romantic bed setting, you will never get it out your sheets. So use the fake ones.
DIY Face Masks and Skincare
Homemade Face Masks for Glowing Skin
No spa day is complete without some face mask action. Raid your kitchen for ingredients like honey, yogurt, and avocado. I once whipped up a chocolate mask that smelled good enough to eat (though I resisted the temptation).
Tip: Customize your mask based on your skin's mood. Dry skin? Go for moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera.
Gentle Exfoliation for Silky Smooth Skin
Smooth skin is the goal, right? DIY scrubs are your ticket to baby-soft goodness. I remember making a coffee scrub that not only exfoliated but also woke up my senses in the best way possible.
Tip: Use gentle circular motions when scrubbing, and your skin will thank you later.
However, the easiest way is to buy face masks purposely made for relaxation and spa days.
ANAiRUi Avocado Green Tea Clay Mask
The classic is a clay face mask and this is one of the most spoke about it. It’s great for detoxing, smoothing, acne, deep pore cleansing and much more. The list goes on and on so I’ll save you from the spitting of facts and just let you know that trust me. If you’re going clay mask. This is the one you want.
Sheet Masks Set
Option 2 is the sheet mask. I recommend picking up a set of a few differently relaxing “flavors” that each have a different skin type. That way you know there will be one for you and you and your partner can have different ones.
Luxurious Bath Rituals
Creating a Soothing Bath with Essential Oils
Now, let's talk baths. Essential oils are your BFFs here. But not just oils. You want bubbles, rose petals, candles, salts, wine, champagne and just about everything else you can think of.
As it’s Valentines day, my top recommendation is to bring some music and plenty of bubbles to the bathroom and act like you’re in a hot tub. Meaning if you want to eat finger sandwiches in the bath, why the hell not.
Oh and I think it goes without saying but this should be a couples bath. So make sure you have your robes close by. But no funny business in a bath with salts and oils, you’ll be asking for an infection. Wait till your out then do complete this board game on your phone or something from the Ultimate couples date night games bundle.
Luxury Aromatherapy Bath Oils
When it comes to the best ever bath oils for your DIY spa day this valentines. The Aromatherapy Associates Ultimate Wellbeing Bath & Shower Oil Selection of 10 Premium Bath and Shower Oils is the ultimate choice. Check them out and see what you think.
Bath Bombs, Salts, and Bubble Baths
Level up your bath game with bombs, salts, or bubbles. I remember dropping a lavender-scented bath bomb into the tub, and it felt like a fizzy slice of heaven.
Tip: Mix and match different bath enhancers for a spa cocktail. Who says you can't have it all?
Bath Bombs Set
With bath bombs you can also pop out to Lush and pick your own, but the easiest method if you have a jam packed Valentine’s day is to pick some up online. Even better, get a gift set for your partner. It’s a little cheeky gift because you’ll be getting use out of it as well. So it’s a great idea.
I recommend a relaxing set for your spa days. Think florals - Lavender and Rose.
Bath Salts
Bath salts are a great option. This one is more relaxing and function more then it is romantic and cute. With the bath bombs you have the relaxing spa scents, but also color changing water and a bit of fun. Salts are more “right, let’s cleanse our bodies THEN think about romance.”
Relaxing Massage Techniques
Partner Massage for Romantic Bonding
If you're sharing the spa love, once the bath is over, why not throw in a massage?
Tip: Set the mood with soft music, and don't be afraid to use a little massage oil for extra glide.
A massage can be as sexy or functional as you like. By all means strip down and go full body oil massage. Or just keep it more functional with some YouTube professional massage techniques and incense sticks.
Massage Oil
Let’s start with the functional option. A high quality oil that’s not going to dry up as soon as you get rubbing.
Hot Massage Candle
But what I really want to talk about is this. Full honesty, I never knew this thing existed until researching for this article. So I haven’t personally tried it but OMG yes I will be! It’s a candle, which melts the wax oil, then you can pour the hot oil onto your partner and massage it in.
How has no one thought of this before? It’s both sensual and romantic. It’s a valentine’s staple. If you get one thing for your home spa valentine’s day event, this has to be it! And if you do, please let me know what you think about it in the comments below.
I really can’t get over it.
Self-Massage for Solo Pampering
For my solo warriors and girlies hosting Galentine’s who may not want to be touching each other - self-massage is the name of the game.
Tip: Roll a tennis ball under your feet for an impromptu massage, it's a game-changer.
But my ultimate suggestion? One you’ve probably seen before…
The Massage Gun
There is a reason why these are so hyped up. They do the job and they do it well. From all the possibilities you could choose, I’d recommend sticking with the cheaper brands and if you love it, upgrade later. This one is perfect because it’s more budget-friendly but works great.
Nourishing Refreshments
DIY Infused Water and Herbal Teas
Stay hydrated, Infused water with cucumber and mint or a soothing chamomile tea? Yes, please. You’ll feel fancy and refreshed.
Tip: Get creative with your water infusions. Fruit combos like strawberry and basil are both delicious and hydrating.
Valentines Day Drinks
As for making it more of a couples treat, opt more sparkling wine or prosecco choices. The bundle below isn’t just challenges and games, it also includes Valentine cocktail recipes which would be perfect for your DIY home spa valentines day.

Healthy Snack Options for Spa Day Indulgence
Snacks are a must, but let's keep it healthy. Or instead of snacks, you can end your spa day with an at home Valentines Dinner. Here are some suggestions for hosting the best ever Valentines dinner at home.
Tip: Nuts and dried fruits are perfect spa snacks. They're tasty and won't leave crumbs in your zen zone.
Mindfulness and Meditation
Guided Meditation for Deep Relaxation
Time for a mental massage. Guided meditation apps are a game-changer. My best advice for this one is to stick on a YouTube follow along to really get you in the zone.
And if you’re relationship has any issues, chances are you may just be a little stressed. So a good bit of peace and quiet might just be the answer.
Creating a Tranquil Playlist
Curate a playlist that soothes your soul. I once created a mix of nature sounds and soft instrumentals that turned my living room into a meditation oasis.
Tip: Consider adding sounds like ocean waves or chirping birds for that extra touch of serenity.
Pampering Your Hands and Feet
DIY Manicures and Pedicures
Finish strong with some nail love.
Tip: File, buff, polish—take your time, and your nails will thank you for the TLC.
Manicure Set
Something like the above has everything you will need for your DIY manicure and pedicures and if that wasn’t enough, it’s Valentine’s Pink.
Moisturizing and Massage for Hands and Feet
Top it all off with a generous slather of lotion. A hand and foot massage are the grand finale. I once massaged my hands with a silky lotion, and it was like giving my hardworking hands a round of applause.
Tip: Don't forget those cuticles! A little extra attention goes a long way.
