General Aftercare And Homecare
Your time at Santosha is a gentle invitation to pause, restore and reconnect with yourself.
The care you give yourself afterwards is just as important as the time spent in the treatment room. Allow yourself space to rest, listen to your body and enjoy a slower pace as you settle back into your day.
The guidance below will help you care for yourself following your treatment and support your continued wellbeing.
If you have any questions or concerns afterwards, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
General Aftercare
For up to 2-4 hours after treatment
Allow yourself time to rest after your treatment. Avoid strenuous excercise for a few hours and enjoy a slower, gentler pace.
Stay comfortably hydrated throughout the day. Sip water regularly, listen to your body's needs and allow yourself time to rest and replenish.
Following your Aromatherapy Massage, allow the beautiful oils to remain on your skin for a few hours if comfortable, giving yourself time to enjoy their soothing aromas and nourishing touch.
If any skin irritation occurs, wash the oils off.
Give yourself time to settle and enjoy a peaceful remainder of your day. If possible, avoid excessive caffeine, and nourish yourself with a balanced meal when you feel hungry.
Allow your body and mind the space to rest and restore.
Listen to your body and honour its need for rest. If you feel tired, allow yourself a quiet moment, a gentle nap or an early night.
Facial Aftercare
Continue to nurture your natural radiance.
Following your facial ritual, treat your skin with gentle care. Cleanse softly, keep your skin hydrated and protect it daily with SPF.
If your treatment included exfoliation, avoid harsh scrubs and strong active ingredients for 24-48 hours, or follow your personalised afyercare advice.
Allow your skin time to settle and enjoy its natural radiance.
Beautiful skin begins with gentle, consistant care.
Homecare In-between Treatments
Stay Nourished & Hydrated.
Make time to nourish yourself from within.
Drink water regularly throughout the day, enjoy wholesome foods and listen to what your body needs.
Small, consistent acts of self-care can make a beautiful difference to your overall wellbeing.
Gentle Movement & Fresh Air.
Make time for gentle movement that feels right for you. Whether it's a peaceful walk in nature, some gentle stretching or simply stepping outside for fresh air, allow yourself to move at your own pace.
Breathe deeply, reconnect with your surroundings and enjoy the simple pleasure of being present.
Finding Your Balance
Be mindful of habits that may affect your wellbeing, including excessive alcohol and caffeine.
Nurture yourself with moments of rest, good-quality sleep and simply everyday choices that help you feel balanced and refreshed.
Nourishment & Healthy Eating
Nourish your body with a variety of fresh, wholesome foods that support your everyday wellbeing.
Whenever possible, slow down and enjoy your meals without rushing. Take a moment to appreciate the nourishment you're giving yourself.
remember, caring for yourself is about balance, not perfection.
Mindfulness, Grounding & Connection
Take a few quiet moments each day to come home to yourself.
Whether through gentle breathwork, meditation or simply sitting in stillness, allow your mind to soften and your awareness to return to the present moment.
Feel your feet connected to the earth, notice the rhythm of your breath and give yourself permission to breathe.
Remember, even the smallest moments of stillness can help you reconnect with your inner rhythm and true self.
Examples of Mindfulness
- Focus on your breathing when you feel overwhelmed/anxious.
- Bring your awareness to the present moment. Sometimes it’s hard to slow down and notice the world around you in this busy world.
- Accept yourself as you are and treat yourself with unconditional love.
- Meditation is great to calm the mind. YouTube has some great meditations. My personal favourite is anything by *John Moyer*.
- Listen to music to help you relax.
A Gentle Reminder
The benefits of your treatment continue to unfold long after you leave Santosha. Rest when you need to, drink plenty of water, move gently, and offer yourself the same care at home. If you have any questions after your treatment, feel free to get in touch.
