While overflowing day planners and packed schedules tend to make it even more difficult to pencil in a bit of “me” time on the regular, they also make it that much more crucial. Not only is self-care essential for your sanity, but it can also benefit those around you when you take time to recharge.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to hang out in a salt cave or jet off to Switzerland to fully relax and rejuvenate. Treat yourself to an at-home spa day with these five products:
- Fresh Fresh Life Body Oil – Containing ginseng root extract, jojoba seed oil, white lily flower extract and vitamin E, this oil helps to soothe the skin, provide 24-hour moisture and leave it looking hydrated and radiant.

- Caudalie Grape Water – Discovered by Caudalie founder Mathilde Thomas on her parent’s vineyard in Bordeaux, France, the product consists of 98-percent grape water and two-percent grape juice, making it ideal for sensitive skin. The hydrating formula, which can be used as a toner, a setting spray or simply as a refresher during the day, helps to reduce redness and soothe enlarged blood vessels.
