Pamper Party: Making Your Own Beauty Products at a Hens Party

There’s nothing better than a pampering party with your besties. After all, we all like to indulge in a session that makes us feel beautified and look our best—especially for the bride-to-be whose big day is looming. But what if you’re doing a hens party on a budget and cannot afford to spend the day at a luxury spa? Fear not, with our step-by-step guide you can have a pamper party in the confinements of your hotel or home and make your own beauty products for your hens party. Not only is it budget-friendly, but it’s also a lot of fun, and unleashes your creativity while spending much-valuable time with your friends. What could be better than that?

Set the Scene

The first thing to do is create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere with soothing music, aromatherapy diffusers, and comfortable seating.

You can choose a theme or colour scheme with the most popular being a spa retreat with soft pastels, white robes, and plush towels, a 

garden oasis with fresh flowers, greenery, and nature-inspired decor or  

vintage glam with elegant golds, silvers, and vintage accessories. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices. Another essential element is to create a relaxing ambience with soft, ambient lighting like candles, fairy lights, or dim lamps, playing calming music, and use essential oil diffusers or scented candles to fill the space with relaxing fragrances like lavender, eucalyptus, or vanilla. Also, create a special cocktail or mocktail for the event, like a sparkling rosé. 

Gather Supplies for your DYI pampering party

To create your own products for the hens, do, you will need to gather all the necessary ingredients and tools. Some common items include essential oils such as Lavender, rose, tea tree, and more for fragrance and skin benefits, carrier oils like coconut, almond, jojoba oils to mix with essential oils, shea butter, and cocoa butter for moisturizing, and Beeswax for balms and lotions. Other ingredients you should have on hand include Aloe vera gel, honey, oatmeal, and dried herbs and 

containers such as small jars, bottles, and labels for your products.
