Personal Success Taking the Spa Home By and large, a great massage is no longer sufficient, as spa experiences go. Now it’s often about packages, including multiple treatments, unique extras, or goodies to take home. High-end cosmetics and beauty lines have created products designed to be applied during treatments and others to be used at home to create a spa-like experience in the comfort of your very own bathroom. While treatment prices are astronomical—and rising—the more affordable products make it possible to take some luxury home. For attendees, they can be a perfect pillow gift to follow a visit to the spa, or to encourage attendees to check it out on their own. With men quickly becoming as adept at navigating a spa as any seasoned woman, there are a variety of products on the market to cater to the specific needs of a man’s skin. And because many of the products have a ritualistic component, you’re not just giving the gift of lotion or shaving oil, but offering a treat to be enjoyed at your attendees’ convenience. TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE A little ritual in a box, the masks from True Cosmetics come with a 100-ml. bottle of product, as well as a brush and a small bowl for application. The idea is to offer an experience in addition to a treatment; masks are available in Balancing (combination skin), Restoring (dry skin), Harmonizing (oily skin), Purifying (problem, acne-prone skin), and Comforting (stressed, redness-prone skin). $40; available at www.restorespa.com KIRI ME AWAY Anakiri has introduced a line of Massage Supplements designed to increase the benefits of massage therapy: Enzyme Relief Balm (reduces pain and inflammation), Relief Tone Gel (helps heal bruising and eases chronic pain and inflammation), HydraTone (helps the body absorb water), and Restore Healing Balm (protects skin from bacteria, soothes dry skin, and reduces inflammation). HydraTone $21, others $19.50; www.anakiri.com E MALE eShave, a company focused on the ritual of shaving using handmade tools, offers a full line of badger-hair brushes—pure, finest, and silvertip in either full- or travel-size—as well as razor handles (which fit drugstore replacement blades), and shaving creams, oils, aftershaves, and other products. Razors and brushes can be customized with a logo.
