The 9 Best Home Spa Products to Turn Your Bathroom Into a Spa Sanctuary

By

As a bookish Harvard law student once sarcastically yet accurately said in the Hollywood Classic Legally Blonde, the spa is the mothership to every well-manicured American. It’s a safe space to ignore our outside obligations and indulge in our vanities, where we’re buffed, scrubbed, and polished into our most radiant, fabulous selves. While a premium spa session will cost you as much as an out-of-network therapist, its mental health benefits are almost as effective.

However, people may be reluctant to visit spas, which is understandable given the pandemic. But remember, this is America. We’re hardwired to build our conveniences within arm’s reach. We’ve converted our basements into movie theaters, garages into home gyms, and even bathrooms into spas. Unlike building a home gym or theater, turning your bathroom into a tranquil, world-class spa oasis doesn’t require bulky equipment or tech wizardry. Ahead are the best home spa products for your bathroom, so you can balance your inner qi and make every day a spa day.

The grooming industry has come a long way, as a whole, over the past few years, because more and more brands are beginning to understand and incorporate practices to become environmentally friendly. Not too long ago, if a brand slapped "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" on its products, many consumers took them for their word. Now, in an age where we are starting to fall into a more unified belief on how to preserve our planet, these types of products have to be ready to prove their claims.

And let's be clear, asking for more information isn't a bad thing. In fact, brands conveying why these products are sustainable benefit us all. The more transparency a brand takes on, the more consumers will see the true value in both the product itself as well as the greater impact the company is having on the world. Here are some trusted eco-friendly, sustainable brands and a few grooming products to check out as we approach this Earth Day and beyond.
