Expert Answer

Ensure that your skin is free of inflammation or acne breakouts, as facials can worsen these. Also, make sure that your skin is dry and completely makeup-free.

Question

How can I arrange this without a parent?

Community Answer

Look around your house for beauty items you could use at your spa party, and use household ingredients to create spa products like face masks and scrubs . You can even make your own invitations! Just make sure your parents know that you're having the party.

What if someone doesn't like facials or nail painting, but they've already shown up?

You could ask them if they have any suggestions for a spa sleepover activity that they would enjoy. For example, maybe they want to do someone's makeup.

Question

Is it okay if I only want to do nails and hair for the sleepover?

Community Answer

A spa sleepover is about beauty and having fun with your girls. You can really do anything beauty related and still call it a Spa Sleepover! So yes, if you want to just do nails and hair, then go ahead.

Question

Do these things cost a lot of money?

Community Answer

You don't have to buy anything expensive. Since you're mostly just doing this to have fun, you can buy all your supplies at the dollar store and only spend a few bucks.

Question

What if nobody comes to my sleepover?

Community Answer

Then you can eat all the tasty spa food and have a year's worth of spa treatments for yourself. Next time, tell them to RSVP. However, if you're just worrying they won't come, put yourself at ease. Your invitees will be excited about coming!

Question

What if you don't know what to tell them to bring?

Alleycatrox

Community Answer

If you do not know what to tell them to bring, just provide everything. If that is too much for you to do, list everything you need and send it to the guests. Then have them pick which item they want to bring.

Question

What if you are the host and you don't want to do facials or something like that but your friends do?

Alleycatrox

Community Answer

You can explain to them that is not the type of "spa" you meant. And the real trick to getting people to do something else is to have something else they'd like to try or do already available. Provide a solution, not an argument.

What if my friends don't like giving massages?

Plan a different kind of sleepover, or do the spa plan and just skip the massages. You definitely need to make sure everyone is comfortable.

Question

What if someone talks about girly stuff like puberty? What would I say?

It doesn't hurt to talk about that. If it makes you uncomfortable, though, ask them to not bring up that type of stuff, or change the subject yourself.

Question

What are some good movies to watch?

Community Answer

Because you're trying to relax, it's best to avoid action or horror movies. I would recommend a rom com or maybe a cute Disney cartoon.
