Wellness that’s worth it.

Spa Experience at Home

Finding time to reset and recharge is one of the most important things we can do for our physical, mental, and spiritual health — and also one of the most difficult. Prioritizing your wellbeing starts with integrating it into your routines, and one of the best places to practice is the space in our homes that is designed for privacy and self-care — the bathroom. For some tips on a home-spa experience to refresh your mind and renew your spirit, we went straight to the experts — the staff at our five-star Kohler Waters Spa.

The perfect home-spa experience is all about creating a relaxed state of mind, and that starts with wrapping yourself in comfort. Some slippers and a plush Turkish cotton robe let your body know that this is not part of your normal routine and will help prepare you for what’s to follow.

Wrap yourself in luxury with a KOHLER Turkish cotton bathrobe.

A State of Calm

An organized, decluttered space with fresh towels and a place to discard them, such as a basket or hamper, helps you reach your state of Zen. Adding well-placed towel bars and hoteliers feels as if all your needs have been anticipated.

Stay Hydrated

Fresh, filtered water infused with some cucumber, lemon, and mint — or any combination of your favorite fruits and herbs — helps you embrace the spa-like atmosphere. Of course, a sparkling flute of champagne is never a bad idea either. Just remember to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your soak or steam.

Create Some Ambience

Dim the lights and put on some soothing music to get yourself relaxed. With our voice-activated, Amazon-enabled Verdera® Voice lighted mirror, you can do both without lifting a finger. Add a scented candle or two to really heighten the spa-like experience.

Exfoliate

Clear your mind and your pores. Use a dry brush to stimulate the lymphatic system, expel toxins, increase circulation, and break down cellulite. Start from the feet and work your way toward the heart. You can also use a body scrub as an alternative to dry brushing to achieve a similar exfoliating effect.

Soothing Waters

Showers, steams, and long soaks help you ease away the stress and concerns of your day. The comforts in your home help you relax and rejuvenate whenever you need.

Step into the shower for a quick, warm rinse to clean your body after the dry brush and awaken your mind. A digital shower adds a level of control and precision, and body sprays add spa-like indulgence.

Open the Pores

A steam experience opens your pores, sweats out toxins, soothes sore muscles, and helps you focus on your breathing. A built-in bench or other seating makes it even easier to relax while enjoying all the benefits of steam.

The benefits of a steam experience go beyond soothing warmth.

Take the Plunge

Reawaken your senses. Fill the bath with cold water and go directly from the steam into the cold bath. The transition from hot to cold improves circulation and brings your body and mind back into focus. A bathroom designed with a wet room and freestanding bath keeps all the water contained and separated from the dry areas.

Settle In

This is the part you’ve been working toward—a long, indulgent soak. Get the water temperature and music just right and dim the lights even further. Close your eyes, put on an eye mask, drop in some bath salts, and set a timer. Now breathe deeply and let the chaos and stress of your everyday melt away.

Emerge Refreshed

Once you've reached a state of blissful relaxation, slowly bring your body's temperature back down with a brief rinse with approximately 93ºF water. A handshower is the perfect way to reintroduce colder temperatures without shocking your system.

Slowly bring your body back to its normal temperature.

The Finishing Touches

Ease back into daily life from a state of complete relaxation. Make the transition with a face mask, lotion, or other self-care routine. Organize your vanity in a way that feels deliberate, and declutter your countertop space with Bente® accessories. Most importantly, take your time, don't rush, and let your body find its balance again.
