Shorter, chillier, autumn days are upon us. Embrace the season of self-care by creating your own spa right at home with these BC brands offering nurturing products like comforting bath soaks, calming essential oils, restorative masks and more. Let the rain drizzle and the air cool – who cares when you’re tucked inside your own cozy spa-at-home?
Barefoot Venus Mustard Bath contains the old-school therapeutic properties of mustard that our grannies always knew was the secret to drawing toxins from our skin. In addition, wintergreen, eucalyptus and rosemary offer plant energy added to that mustardy-goodness while you soak in your relaxing hot bath and breathe deep, while clearing your head and chest. Shake some of this into your bathtub at the first sign of a cold or flu and you just may nip that bug in the bud.
Saje Spa Day Refreshing Diffuser Blend is aptly named, and perfect for scenting the air of your home spa with an uplifting blend that promotes peace and calm. We’ve all left our favourite spas thinking, ‘how can I make my own home smell this gorgeous?’ Here’s the secret from one of our favourite BC brands, containing lemon, juniper berry and black spruce. A few drops of this blend in your diffuser, light bulb ring or candle burner will scent the air of your space beautifully. Saje is much loved for its wide variety of diffuser blends that create the mood or atmosphere you’re seeking, and a few drops go a long way.
Skwalwen Kalkay Wild Rose Replenishing Facial Mask is the skin treat your complexion deserves now that the weather has changed from summer to fall. This lovely mask is created with powdered rose petals, mango seed butter, and fine clay that draws excess sebum from the skin while refining the surface with hyaluronic acid and CoQ10. Smooth this mask on, kick bac, close your eyes and relax while it works its magic for a few minutes. Spoiling yourself is essential. You’ve only got one face, so treat her nice.
epic blend Breathe Salt Soak swirls in your bathtub’s rushing water encouraging you to slowwww it all down, breathe deep (thus the name) and relax with the scents of clearing eucalyptus, fresh lime (surprising and loving it) plus the zing of spearmint. Calming and refreshing at the same time, so you don’t feel groggy when you emerge from your soak. Colourful packaging in this brand across all their products is a nice boost to your bathroom decor (aka home spa) too. Who says home spa goodies all have to be beige and boring?
Friday Harbour’s the Harbour Blanket is from a Vancouver-based company that’s all about sustainable luxury products, in this case the perfect blanket to cuddle up with post home-spa bath or facial and a calming, hot cup of herbal tea. This lightweight, oversized throw is made with premium organic cotton and is soft as a feather. Keep it handy to wrap up in the entire autumn season, and most likely, all year. A perfect BC-blanket and essential end to your spa at home day. Light a few candles, curl up and just be in the moment. A great spa day in your own home should never be rushed.
