How to Create Your Own At-Home Spa Experience with Metrin Skincare 

There’s nothing more indulgent than spending a day pampering yourself with a professional facial or a luxurious day spa experience. But we know that such treatments can be costly and time consuming. What if we told you that you can replicate a high-end spa experience in the comfort and convenience of your own home with your Metrin Skincare products?  And we’re not just talking about your usual five skincare steps—we mean truly taking your time to luxuriate in each step, focusing on you and your skin. This is how our Metrin team creates their own at-home spa ritual, and we encourage you to follow along (and send us your own at-home spa rituals)!  

Step 1: Set the Mood 

Before you start, take some time to prepare your space. You can either do this in your bathroom (add a comfy chair for extra relaxation), or for a more decadent experience, set up at a table with towels and a large bowl of warm water. All great spa experiences begin with the perfect atmosphere, and you can create it with just a few thoughtful touches with items you probably have at home already: 

• Light candles or burn incense to add a calming scent. Or, if you have one, an essential oil diffuser. Choose one that matches your mood (lavender for relaxation, citrus for an energizing vibe). 
• Slip into your fluffy bathrobe or coziest pajamas. Comfort is key! 
• Set the tone with a spa playlist (we love this one: Spotify Spa Playlist.) Do you have your favorite spa playlist? If you do, let us know!  
• Sip on a glass of iced water (optional; add a slice of lemon) and/or herbal tea to hydrate your body as you nourish your skin. Did you know that adding a slice of lemon to your iced water and sipping herbal tea not only helps hydrate your body but can also detoxify, promote radiant skin, reduce inflammation and provide antioxidants that enhance your overall skin health.
• Turn off harsh overhead lights and dim the lights to create a soothing ambiance. 

Before you begin, take three deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth, to center yourself and prepare for your self-care journey. 

Step 2: Prep Your Canvas (Your Skin)! 

Now that the mood is set, it’s time to start pampering your skin. First, apply our spa-quality Let Your Face Glow Headband. This microfiber headband keeps your hair out of the way while you wash your face, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted skincare routine. Plus, it’s super soft and gentle on the skin. 

Step 3 & 4: Double Cleanse 

A proper cleanse is essential for a spa-like experience. For optimal results, we recommend the double cleansing method, using our Deep Cleanser & Lathering Cleanser – our ultimate double cleanse duo!  

• Deep Cleanser: Start by applying a generous amount of our Deep Cleanser to your dry face. This cleanser uses organic, cold-pressed sunflower seed oil to trap dirt, makeup, and airborne impurities, leaving your skin clean and nourished. Massage it into your skin for a minute, then remove it with our ultra-soft & microfiber Renew Your Face Towel soaked in lukewarm water. Grab a fluffy towel and gently pat your face dry.  
• Lathering Cleanser: Next, apply the Lathering Cleanser to your damp face, adding water to create a foamy lather. This second cleanse reaches deep into your pores, removing bacteria, dead skin cells, and excess oil. Use a the same face towel dampened with lukewarm water to remove the lather, splashing your face several times to make sure all residue is gone. Pat your skin dry using a fluffy bath towel.  

Pro Tip: Double cleansing not only removes impurities but also gently exfoliates, prepping your skin to absorb the nourishing products you’ll use next. 

Step 5, 6 & 7 : Nourish, Protect & Hydrate 

Your skin is now thoroughly cleansed and ready for some deep rejuvenating TLC: 

• Vita Conditioner: The first step in moisturizing is applying our Vita Conditioner. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, this moisturizer deeply hydrates your skin, leaving it soft and supple. The sunflower seed oil and natural vitamins A, C, and E help calm and protect your skin. 
• Protective Lotion: To lock in moisture and protect your skin, follow up with our Protective Lotion. For a true spa experience, use a mister to generously spray the product evenly on your face, neck, and décolletage. If you don’t have a mister, simply apply the lotion with your hands or cotton pads. This calming toner, made with organic aloe vera and allantoin, firms, tones, and protects your skin, helping it retain moisture. It creates a deep nourishing, hydrating and protective serum directly on your skin through the layering of the conditioners and lotion.   
• Enriched Vita Conditioner: For deep hydration and nourishment, apply our Enriched Vita Conditioner. It contains a powerful blend of vitamins and organic sunflower seed oil to stimulate circulation and help neutralize the effects of stress and aging. Gently massage 8–10 drops onto your face and neck, moving in upward and outward motions. Take your time here—this is your moment to unwind, relax and indulge in some R&R!

Step 8: Eye and Face Serum Application 

After nourishing your skin, it’s time to focus on the delicate area around your eyes. Apply a small amount of our Reactivating Serum to your under-eye area. This serum is enriched with herbal extracts like arnica, chamomile, and yarrow, which help reduce puffiness and dark circles. The gentle formula also provides moisture and nourishment to this sensitive area. Next, apply the serum all over your face, ensuring even coverage for hydration and a refreshed complexion. Gently massage the product into your skin using your fingertips. Start at the inner corner of your eye and lightly press and sweep outward and upward. This helps to promote lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and leaving your skin looking smooth and refreshed. 

Pro Tip: Gently massaging the area can help enhance product absorption and stimulate circulation, giving your skin a radiant, beautiful glow. 

Step 9: Hand Treatment 

By now, your face should be feeling soft, hydrated, and rejuvenated. Don’t forget about your hands—they work hard every day and deserve some love too! 

Take a few pumps of your Vita Conditioner or Enriched Vita Conditioner and massage it into your hands. Spend some time here, focusing on massaging each finger, your palms, and wrists. This is a great opportunity for some mindful relaxation. Take some deep breaths and feel the tension release from your body as you focus on the sensation of your hands being pampered. 

Step 10: Final Relaxation 

To complete your spa day, take a few moments to lie back and enjoy the calm you’ve created. You can even indulge in some light stretching, meditation or simply sip your herbal tea. This is the perfect moment to reflect on the care you’ve given to yourself. 

By following these steps and incorporating our proven skincare products, you’ll recreate a spa experience that leaves your skin glowing and your mind relaxed. Take your time, enjoy the process, and remember that this ritual is all about treating yourself to a moment of pure self-care. You deserve it!
