10 At-Home Spa & Beauty Products for When You Can’t Leave the House
There couldn’t be a more perfect time for a spa day in. Times are tense, most stores are closed, and there’s plenty of downtime to fill. Plus, you want to limit your trips to the drug store as much as possible, so ordering your go-to toiletries online is much more ideal. Take the opportunity to chill out and treat your body and mind to a little self care, whether that means switching up your hair color or giving your nails a refresh. We rounded up 10 of our favorite at-home spa treatments and on-demand toiletries to try right now, so you can make the most of your time indoors.
Madison Reed Color Kit
Just because salons are closed doesn’t mean you can’t keep up with your hair color regimen—or try something new altogether. Madison Reed has hundreds of at-home color options ranging from permanent dyes to highlight and toning options. Take the hair quiz to find the perfect product for you based on everything from your hair texture and color to your experience with at-home dyes and past hair treatments.

Le Mini Macaron Maxi Deluxe Gel Manicure Kit
