No need for a complete bathroom redo—by swapping out a few staples you can turn your everyday grooming routine into a mini spa sesh.
BAR NONE
Icons including Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis relied on Dr. Erno Lazslo, the pioneer of bespoke beauty, to keep their skin camera-ready. Even if you’re not a selfie fan, you can benefit from his legacy with Erno Laszlo Cleansing Bars. A major step-up from your current bar, each boasts botanicals and antioxidants that target a specific skin concern—sensitive, detoxifying, hydrating, firming or brightening ($38 each for 3.5.

DRY RUN
Luxe towels are a spa signature. The Aquis Waffle Luxe Hair Towel feels posh but is super-practical: It’s made with ultra-fine fibers that won’t cause tresses to frizz, plus it reduces hair drying time by up to 50 percent.
SHOWER POWER
One simple way to upgrade your shower to spa status: The Shower Clear Original Nickel Shower Head. Not only does it deliver a highquality spray, it can be opened after each shower for easy cleaning (or just let it air dry), which prevents health problems caused by mold.
DIRTY SECRET
Mud treatments are one of the oldest-known skin treatments, and for good reason—there’s nothing like them for leaving skin smooth and radiant. The Body Shop Spa of the World Himalayan Charcoal Body Clay combines the purifying powers of charcoal with exfoliating clay and moisturizing willow bark and fairtrade sesame oil ($24 for 6.75 fluid ounces;
FACE CASE
Don’t let the inexpensive price tag fool you: The MODA SPA Facial Treatment and Cleansing Kit will elevate your daily face-washing ritual. Created by renowned makeup brush company Royal and Langnickel, the Deep Pore Cleansing Brush helps get rid of makeup and dirt more effectively, while the Spa Facial Brush helps you apply moisturizers and masks in a smooth, even layer.
MUSCLE RELAXER
No sauna? No problem! Speed your recovery post-workout with Pursoma After the Class Bath Soak. Created in collaboration with cult fitness teacher Taryn Toomey, it contains magnesium to relieve muscle soreness, and hemlock spruce, lavender and white pine essential oils to calm your mind.
SPOON IT ON
Masks like Farmhouse Fresh Pajama Paste Soothing Active Yogurt Mask mean you don’t have to depend on your facialist for a skin reboot. The fresh blend of yogurt, bentonite clay, wild honey and oats reduces redness, softens skin and shrinks enlarged pores ($23 for 3.25 ounces;
HAIR TREAT
Garnier Fructis 1-Minute Hair Mask is a spaworthy formula at a drugstore price. This 98 percent naturally derived mask contains avocado and coconut oils that can be used three ways: as a conditioner, a leave-in conditioning cream or a mask that all leave hair glossy and smooth ($4.49 for 3.4 fluid ounces;
