With more and more of us choosing to staycation in our own back gardens (it is hot in England! Don’t blink or you’ll miss it!), there is even more reason to buy into the holiday-at-home trend you can easily recreate: ‘Spathroom-ing’ is the refined art of creating a wanderlust-worthy worldwide spa experience at home and all you need is the global beauty ritual research that someone else has already done for you.

The Body Shop has explored the world with this in mind and created three new body rituals that give the most indulgent and effective skin and wellbeing results.

So what can you expect from a spathroom break versus an actual spa? How about delicate fragrances, purifying and firming clays, sensorial and luxury oils, refining natural scrubs and decadent creams. In fact, the only thing really missing is the masseur (that’s not to say you can’t obtain one by whatever means possible), but the relaxation, revitalisation and pure bliss, for body and mind will be attainable – as long as you can block out a couple of hours and have a pretty secure bathroom lock.

Our Beauty team’s hero product is the ultimate ‘Spathroom’ treatment: Dead Sea Salt Scrub, including the pre-requisite natural ingredients that are so inherent to the brand. This enlivening scrub does what you’d expect from a fancy treatment in an actual destination spa, only in your own bathroom.

Now where next? Thailand for the uplifting, stimulating Lemongrass massage oil experience? Ancient Japan for some soothing camellia cream? We think we’ll head for the purifying benefits of the Himalayas distilled in a detoxifying Charcoal Body Clay. Escapism starts at home after all.
