Create an at-home spa with beauty products from luxury wellness resorts
From plush Sofitel bathrobes to organic body scrubs from Como Shambhala, who needs to travel when you can recreate a hotel spa experience at home
Text: Livvie B
One thing we’ve learnt over the past year is that many of our favourite (and some of our least favourite) activities can be done from home; exercise, working, catching up with friends …and pampering. And seeing as there’s a distinct lack of travel going on right now, we like to pretend that we’re sprucing and scrubbing at a swanky hotel spa. But wait! You can! From gorgeous-smelling candles to hotel-style robes, these are The Soothe’s ultimate go-to's for when you want to create an at-home spa with beauty products from luxury wellness resorts. Take care of your wellbeing in the comforts of your own home.

To wrap yourself in comfort | Sofitel Boutique Shawl Collar Robe (EUR 168)
You can’t create an at home spa experience without a plush bathrobe. This super soft one from the Sofitel Boutique is our favourite; a blend of cotton terry and plush velour, it’s the perfect comforting weight and better yet, it has pockets. Ideal for enveloping yourself in after a long bath or snuggling up in with Netflix.

To recreate the scent of your favourite spa | Vanaveda Sandalwood Candle (INR 450 for 75g)
Created by the team behind one of the world’s most stunning luxury wellness resorts, Vana, Vanaveda’s beauty products recently launched online and are created to enhance wellbeing with minimal environmental impact. Created using organic ingredients and pure essential oils sourced from India, the Vanaveda range hangs on the belief that all senses impact our wellbeing, and what we breathe in or apply to our skin has the potential to be transformative. In Ayurvedic medicine, Sandalwood oil is believed to be beneficial in treating a range of physical and mental disorders including anxiety, fever and fatigue.

To create naturally glowing skin | COMO Shambhala Salt Scrub (GBP 35 for 340g)
Their treatments at COMO Shambhala Urban Escape may be off the cards, but you can create an at-home spa with beauty products from their own range. Drawing on their healthy living philosophy, COMO Shambhala products incorporate only premium-grade ingredients and are free from harmful substances. Available in their INVIGORATE scent — a natural mood enhancer thanks to the combination of eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender and geranium — the Body Scrub leaves skin feeling smooth and soft. In addition, the formulation of sugar, salt, almond, coconut and shea butter soothes and replenishes moisture whilst gently removing dead skin. Who needs Bali?

To renew and replenish dry skin | Rancho La Puerta Antioxidant Créme Mask (USD 44.99)
It’s easy to create an at-home spa with the pampering options available from Rancho La Puerta. Usually found in the luxury wellness resort in Baja California, and made without synthetic fragrance or artificial dyes, this product is rich in organic ingredients and curated as an intensely moisturising beauty product. Aloe vera leaf juice absorbs easily into the skin, helping to seal moisture, whilst Rosa Damascena flower water refreshes skin without stripping its natural oils.
