Spa at Home: Robes and Spa Accessories We Are Loving
Let's face it: there's nothing quite like a spa day! Pampering, relaxation, and feeling cared for are experiences everyone should have. But what if you can't go to a spa? Or what if you don't have the time or money for professional treatments? That's where at-home spa days come in. The proper robes and spa accessories are necessary for those who plan on having their own at-home spa. It's all about setting the ultimate experience because we all deserve a little luxury in our lives.
The Robe
A plush robe is a must-have; there's nothing like slipping into a soft, cozy robe after a long day (or long week). A fluffy robe helps to create the feeling of luxury and relaxation, which is essential to the spa experience. And while you can find robes at most department stores, why not treat yourself to something special? A robe from a luxury retailer like Oscar de la Renta or Frette will make you feel like a million bucks- even if you're just relaxing at home.
The Slippers
Of course, a robe is not complete without a pair of matching slippers. Don't forget to include comfortable footwear for your spa accessories. After all, there's nothing worse than having to put on old dusty flip-flops when it's time to get out of the tub.
The Towels
If you're treating yourself to an at-home spa day, you deserve only the best towels. Look for plush, absorbent towels in a color or pattern you love. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference it makes to use soft, stylish, and luxurious towels.
The Candles
Scented candles are essential to any spa experience. The right ones can transform your home into a true oasis. So, be sure to find candles with scents that put you in a relaxed and calming state. For example, lavender, jasmine, and eucalyptus are great options. Put candles around the tub or wherever you'll spend most of your time rejuvenating. Also, candles can help cover up your bathroom's less-than-gorgeous features, such as ugly tiles.
The Music
There's nothing like relaxing to some soothing music! And, an at-home spa day is a perfect opportunity to play your personal soundtrack. Before your spa day, create a playlist of your favorite relaxing songs. On the big day, start your playlist and let it play while you're enjoying your treatments. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference it makes.
Exfoliating Gloves
Exfoliating gloves are a must for anyone who wants to enjoy a luxurious at-home spa day. These gloves help slog away dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
They also stimulate circulation and promote new cell growth, so they're great for your skin health in general. It's perfect for anyone who works with their hands all day and wants to soften them.
Bubble Bath
No at-home spa experience is complete without a bubble bath. Fill your tub with warm water and add some scented bubbles or bath salts to create a relaxing experience. Add some scented bubbles with lavender or eucalyptus for a more therapeutic effect.
Body Scrub
A good body scrub is essential to exfoliate your skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. It also helps to stimulate circulation and promote new cell growth. Look for a scrub that contains natural ingredients like sea salt, sugar, or coffee grounds.
Body Lotion
After you've scrubbed your skin, it's time to moisturize. A good body lotion will help hydrate and nourish your skin, leaving it feeling soft and silky. Look for a lotion containing natural ingredients, such as shea butter or cocoa butter.
Headwraps
A good head wrap helps keep your hair out of your face while relaxing in the tub or getting a facial. Look for a head wrap made from a soft, absorbent material like cotton, satin, or bamboo.
Facial Steamer
A facial steamer is a great way to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin. The steam helps open up your pores and remove impurities, while the warmth relaxes your muscles and promotes circulation. A good facial steamer can make a big difference in the appearance of your skin.
Flowers
The smell and look of fresh flowers are irresistible. They can also boost your mood and promote relaxation. On your spa-day, consider adding flowers around your bathroom to create a tranquil space or even in your bath.
Tips for keeping your robes and spa accessories clean and fresh:
1. Store your robes and spa accessories in a cool, dry place when not in use.
2. Use a mild detergent to wash your robes and spa accessories regularly.
3. Hang your robes and spa accessories to air dry after washing.
4. Use a lint roller to remove hair or lint from your robes and spa accessories.
5. If your robes and spa accessories become stained, spot clean them with a mild stain remover.
There you have it! These are just a few essential elements you need for an unforgettable at-home spa experience.
While these items may seem luxuries, they'll help you achieve the ultimate goal of an at-home spa day: relaxation. So, go ahead and treat yourself; you deserve it!
