Now that many schools have closed as a result of COVID-19, more kids are staying home, unable to see their friends, or engage in fun summer activities like going to beach or attending summer camp. Being confined at home can be challenging for children, often leading to boredom, anxiety, and stress.

A great way to help your kids unwind and refresh is by treating them to a spa day at home. From toddlers to teens, it’s a fun activity that you can enjoy together as a family and it’s also an opportunity to educate them about the importance of self-care.

A few items that will enhance your kids’ spa day at home include stylish and comfy bathrobes, slippers, and healthy spa snacks like infused water or juice, fresh fruit, veggies with dip, and granola.

Eminence Organic Skin Care offers effective and professional natural, organic and biodynamic skin care products that are carried in leading spas around the world. Their skincare products incorporate a wide variety of unique and innovative ingredients such as mangosteen, acai, and more to help people achieve healthier skin. Here, they share a four-step guide for hosting a kids’ spa day at home with product recommendations and mini-treatments that will pamper and relax them.

1. Cleanse. Two exceptional formulas that work well for kids’ skin are the Stone Crop Gel Wash and Coconut Milk Cleanser. You can demonstrate how to cleanse the skin by applying the products and gently emulsifying with water.

2. Mask. This is a step that kids of all ages are sure to enjoy. You’ll want to make sure that any mask you provide doesn’t contain highly active ingredients and is safe for kids’s skin. The Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque is great for all skin types, while their Coconut Cream Masque is soothing for kids with sensitive skin. To gently exfoliate, apply the Strawberry Rhubarb Masque to skin prior to mask application.

3. Moisturize. Moisturizing is one of the most important parts of any skincare regimen.! This is another great opportunity to teach kids about proper moisturizing to keep skin healthy and strong. The Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer is a wonderful product that helps soothe dryness while deeply moisturizing, while the Apricot Whip Moisturizer is the perfect moisturizer for normal skin. For children who are prone to rosacea or have sensitive skin, the Rosehip Whip Moisturize is a delicate formula that hydrates skin.

4. Manicure. Finish off your kids’ spa day at home with a manicure that will nurture their skin. Start by soaking their hands in a mix of warm water and Coconut Milk Cleanser, then gently exfoliate with one of your favorite Eminence Organics sugar scrubs. Hydrate both hands and cuticles with Apricot Body Oil. Finish with Mangosteen Replenishing Hand Cream and a touch of non-toxic nail polish to complete the look.
