Budget-friendly items for unlimited spa sessions.
Whether it’s busy caring for the kids or a hectic week at the office, we’re all familiar with the feeling of being tired out after. It’s completely justified to feel burnt out and exhausted by the end of the week.
And as much as we’d love to go for a spa appointment and unwind at the end of the week, it’s just not sustainable cost-wise. But here’s the good news — you can treat yourself to a spa experience in the comfort of your own home, and at a fraction of the cost even if you don’t have the luxury of space with these eight specially-curated items from Shopee.
1) Face Towel Warmer (From $58.04)
Nothing beats the feeling of a warm and cushy towel after a long day (you know, like how you eagerly await getting one from the flight attendant as soon as you take your seat on the plane).
Each basin is easily stackable and great for when you want more on-hand to refresh yourself throughout the day for when you’re working from home in between calls. Having your own portable towel warmer gives you access to unlimited fresh, moisturising towels to treat yourself during a mid-day WFH break.
2) Pristine Reed Diffuser (From $25.90)
In every good spa (and hotel), scents are heavily relied on to make you feel more relaxed and at-home. Now, you can replicate this same atmosphere with Pristine Reed Diffusers.
If you’re looking for unique and sophisticated scents, they’ve got you covered. From the Swiss, Hilton-inspired Swiss Chateau fragrance to the Shangri-La, hot spring-inspired Japanese Ryokan, each diffuser is guaranteed to make you feel like you’re actually there. The bottle’s elegant design also serves as a decor piece for your living or bathroom.
3) SCRUBTUB Body Scrub (From $8.99)
Avid skin care enthusiasts, get yourself a tub of body scrub to level up your self-care game. While most body products on the market are laden with unspecified chemicals, SCRUBTUB claims to make theirs with organic, vegan and nut-free ingredients approved by Health Sciences Authority Singapore, so it's better for your skin and the environment.
Their body scrubs also have a distinctive smell due to the mix of essential oils used, so you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Never worry about discoloured or dull patches — you’ll leave a body scrub session with smooth and radiant looking skin that’ll last for weeks.
4) Dry Brush ($9.50)
Instead of an expensive dry body brushing session at the spa, opt to get your own instead! Keeping eco-friendly, this dry brush is made of both natural beech wood and jute.
Using a dry brush helps to increase your blood circulation, reduces cellulite and clears away any dead skin flakes and dry patches while removing any ingrown hairs on your body. If you’re worried that dry brushing may seem ‘gimmicky’, don’t be — the practice itself has existed for over 5,000 years, so it’s definitely not a one-time trend.
5) Portable Bathtub (From $84)
No spa experience is complete without a deep soak — and if you live in a small home, this is the space-saving alternative you need. Simply fold out the tub and fill with your favourite bath suds before dipping in for a leisurely soak, and collapse it and stow away when not in use.
While other listings only come with the body itself, this specific item comes with clamp-on lids, so you can place a glass of wine and a mobile device for a good netflix and chill session. It also has three different tub sizes fit for toddlers, kids and adults.
6) BOSE Waterproof Speaker ($179)
Enjoy those soothing spa music playlists directly in your own home with this compact, hassle free speaker! This speaker can withstand both hot and cold temperatures, and has been rigorously tested so accidentally dropping it in the tub won’t spoil it. Its silicone strap wrap is also a good to have for when you want to hang it on your shower rod.
What makes it a standout in the market is its waterproof material and is manufactured by Bose, an industry-leader in the audio technology market.
7) Foot Bath Massager (From $27)
After standing for long commutes home (especially during rush hour), your feet are bound to feel sore and achy once you arrive. This foot bath can be filled up with water and provide your feet a soothing massage with its automatic massage wheels. It also comes with a wireless remote to monitor time and control the temperature, unlike other manual models.
Some benefits of this portable massager include staving away sores and cracked skin, reduce edema (great for mums-to-be!) and even speed up recovery for foot injuries.
While an entire massage chair takes up a lot of space, this foot bath massager doesn’t consume much space given its collapsible nature.
8) Terry Cloth Bath Robes (From $36.90)
No spa session is complete without your own personal terry cloth bathrobe. Sink into this snug and super absorbent material to get comfy as you head to bed.
Unlike your typical polyester bathrobe, it’s made of durable material and also dries quickly, and won’t fray out even after multiple washes in the machine.
