While trips to the spa can be good for relaxation and mental health, they require copious amounts of time and money.
 
In Handmade Spa, authors Juliette Goggin and Abi Righton have penned a comprehensive guide to replicating the luxury of a spa in your own home using natural, botanical preparations.
 
There is a particular focus on scents, with recipes for citrus and ginger-cinnamon, lavender and chamomile all as fragrant options. Also included are massage techniques, recipes for candle and incense making, advice on bath oils and body scrubs.
 
Accompanied by a plethora of helpful photos, Handmade Spa is a definitive guide for home happiness.
