When you aren't able to get to the spa, using the products in your own home for pampering treatment can be equally relaxing. Many spas sell their products for customer home use, and some products are helpful for continuing maintenance of your spa treatment between visits. It's particularly wise to buy products your aesthetician uses for your spa facial. Body scrubs and hydrating agents can also be used to bring the spa ambiance home.
Bliss Lemon and Sage Body Scrub
Recommended by Allure magazine's beauty editors, Bliss' Lemon and Sage Body Scrub carries the famous spa chain's signature fragrance. Used in skin-sloughing treatments, it's intended for home use pre-shower. The granules and oils slough dead skin cells just as well at home as they do in the spa and you'll leave your shower feeling refreshed and renewed for a lot less than the price of a spa treatment.
Sonya Dakar Omega-3 Repair Complex
Used by aestheticians in celebrity spa facial treatments, the omega-3 repair complex has been considered a little vial of liquid gold for problem skin. If you have dryness or need to rejuvenate the skin's luster naturally, this serum has been known to do the trick. Made of a natural blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, it works by replacing lost moisture in the skin. Because the complex is natural, the company claims it imitates your own natural hydration. Frankincense and geranium are added to combat inflammation, post-facial.
Milk and Honey
Old-fashioned milk and honey are used in many spa skin treatments as well as manicures and pedicures. You can simulate the nourishing effects of both by adding them to your bath or foot soak at home. Add a drop of an aromatherapy oil of your choice, just as the spa technician would. Available at your local market, these products are inexpensive and effective. Allure magazine reviewed a milk and honey manicure at a New York spa and remarked on the soothing effects of the treatment ingredients. The editor raved about the calming and hydrating effects of the milk, honey and aromatherapy oil combination.
