As much as we’d surely all love to make going to the spa a regular occurrence, for most of us—that’s unfortunately just not all that realistic. It’s no secret that visiting the spa, regardless of the kind, can be super expensive (as well as time-consuming). But we all need a little extra relaxation and pampering from time to time! So why not bring the spa home? By creating the atmosphere and stocking up with some key products, you can have the spa right at your fingertips, in the comfort of your home. The best part? The privacy is unmatched.
Find some alone time, light a candle or two, play a little serene music, and indulge in the ultimate at-home spa day with the help of these tips, tools, and products. —Bailey Grant
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is what brings an at-home spa day all together. It’s what differentiates a regular shower, to a “Nordic” shower. From relaxing aromatherapy to a serene ambiance, every detail counts!
First thing’s first. To set the atmosphere, you have to feel the part. Silk & Snow’s Terry Bathrobe feels even better than a spa-quality robe, in our humble opinion. Made from 100% certified Egyptian cotton, putting on this bathrobe feels like receiving a warm hug from a cloud.
Diffuserlove Ceramic Essential Oil Diffuser
Make any room in your home feel and smell like a spa with the help of an essential oil diffuser! Opt for a blend with spa-like scents like eucalyptus or lavender to get the vibes just right. This Diffuserlove Ceramic Essential Oil Diffuser even has different light settings!
Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus Spearmint Candle
From the warm flickering light to the captivating scent, the more candles, the better when it comes to creating a relaxing atmosphere. For relaxation purposes, Bath & Body Works’ Eucalyptus Spearmint Candle is a great option.
Water Therapies
After the atmosphere is set, the beginning of any at-home spa session should be spent in the bath or shower. We don’t make the rules! Spend some time relaxing in the water, breathing in the steam, and treating yourself to your very best body care. For spa days, we love products that smell just as amazing as they perform.
Nécessaire The Body Wash Eucalyptus
This Nécessaire body wash has a reputation for spelling exactly like a spa, thanks to its eucalyptus scent. Lather up and wash all your worries down the drain with this rich, hydrating body cleanser.
L’Occitane Cleaning And Softening Refillable Shower Oil
L’Occitane’s Cleansing And Softening Shower Oil is what decadence feels like, if you ask us. Reserve it for your most special occasions, like your at-home spa days.
Not only will Dove’s Exfoliating Body Polish leave you feeling buttery soft, but it smells absolutely intoxicating in the best way possible. And it doesn’t feel scratchy like some exfoliants can.
Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter
To wrap up your water therapies, lather your skin in your favourite body butter or moisturizer. Sol de Jaleiro’s Delícia Drench Body Butter locks in moisture, and, of course, smells amazing.
Bask In Masks
There’s something so special about treating yourself to a mask. It’s like the definition of self-care… right? Nourish your body from head to toe by applying a mask anywhere and everywhere you can.
If they’re good enough for celebs (cough, cough, Jessica Alba), they’re good enough for us! Grace & Stella’s Under Eye Masks feel super luxurious to use with their glamorous gold design alone, and they work amazingly at hydrating and reducing puffiness in the under-eye area.
Sephora Collection Hydrating Hand Mask
If you’ve never tried a hand mask–you’re missing out! At $7 a pair, it’s definitely not an everyday ritual, but for special occasions and spa days, Sephora’s Hydrating Hand Masks will leave your hands feeling softer than ever before in just 15 minutes. (Which is also a great excuse to get off your devices for a beat).
Sephora Collection Nourishing Foot Mask
The same goes for foot masks! Leave Sephora’s Nourishing Foot Mask on for 20 minutes to achieve ultra-smooth and rejuvenated feet.
Innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Face Mask
You simply can’t have an at-home spa day without treating yourself to a face mask! Your current individual skin needs may alter what kind of face mask you want to apply, but we’re obsessed with Innisfree’s Pore Clearing Clay Face Mask for clarifying.
Your lips deserve some extra TLC, too! Our pick is Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask, which delivers intense moisture and antioxidants to the lips–and yes, it can be used during awake hours.
Coco & Eve Like A Virgin Hair Masque
While you’re basking in all kinds of masks, you might as well soak your hair in one. The Like A Virgin Hair Masque by Coco & Eve smells delicious and is like a large glass of water for dehydrated hair.
Tools
Take your spa day up a notch with some pampering tools! Of course, none of these tools are an absolute necessity, but isn’t that the entire point of a spa day? It is all about the little luxuries and pampering, after all!
If you ask us, everyone should have a scalp massager on deck. It feels super relaxing to use, plus it’s actually good for scalp health and hair growth!
Using a gua shaw and facial roller has a ton of benefits. Working together, they’re designed to reduce puffiness, release tension, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and even brighten the skin! This set from Amazon is made from Rose Quartz.
Shiatsu Neck & Shoulder Massager
The one thing you can’t really do yourself, is give yourself a massage. Which is where massaging devices come in! Getting a massage can cost a pretty penny, but by investing in a massager, you can treat yourself to one whenever you please.
If you spend a lot of time on your feet on the day-to-day, a foot massager is a total game-changer! Simply place your feet in the machine and let it do the rest.
