BUYING GUIDE:
HOW TO CREATE A HOME SPA

Everything you’ll need for a home spa day, from aromatherapy candles and pampering treatments to fluffy towels. Consider your home spa checklist sorted

Create a tranquil home spa in any bathroom

In an ideal world, we’d all check into a spa hotel immediately. For a more realistic option, allow us to bring the home spa to you with the ultimate edit of little luxuries to help you relax, unwind and emerge restored and ready to face another busy week. Consider this your cue to pencil in some time for an at-home spa day.

First, run yourself a bath and light a candle (or two). Keep things simple with pillar candles or indulge the senses with our heavenly Apothecary home fragrance collection featuring essential oil blends. Add a couple of handfuls of bath salts to running water to create a skin-softening infusion to elevate the experience beyond everyday bubbles. Neil’s Yard Women’s Balance bath salts feature mineral-rich sea salt crystals from South America to help revitalise body and mind.

How to have a pampering home spa day

It might not be realistic to convert your bathroom into a fully functioning treatment room, but it’s easy to upgrade it with a few spa-worthy touches, like our luxurious, super-soft Egyptian cotton towels and a plush bath mat. Add premium beauty treats, some greenery (artificial houseplants require zero effort) and a good read, and you’ll have your own sanctuary to help you wind down in style. A relaxing playlist will set the tone - think ambient chill-out, meditation music or sounds of nature.

After a skin-softening soak or shower, indulge in some home spa treatments such as a DIY facial and a top-to-toe exfoliating body scrub. Our Apothecary home-spa gift sets make it easy to tick off your checklist in one go – try the Calm Ultimate Hamper which covers everything from room fragrance to bath products. No fancy home foot spa? No problem. Treat tired toes to a pick-me-up with our fool-proof pedicure guide.
