The best home spa essentials for a relaxing day in

From Breathe Essentials Co.

Sink into your relaxing spa session with a soothing fragrance from Breathe Essentials Co. Started by Charlene Koh, entrepreneur and co-founder of dating app Paktor, this aromatherapy label offers a range of essential oils and hand-poured cocosoy candles (from $39). Choose from a range of uplifting scents to match the state of mind you want to achieve – Lavender Fields for ultimate relaxation, Balsam & Clove for stimulation and A Gentleman's Hug for security and comfort. 

From Rough Beauty

Peel off the stresses, worries and literal dirt accumulated throughout the day with a deep, exfoliating scrub. Made of grains, clay and essential oils, Rough Beauty's scruffy cleansing grains ($14.90) will gently but thoroughly clean even the most sensitive skin, leaving behind baby soft and smooth skin. It's suitable for use on both the face and body, and is available in the floral scents of geranium, lavender or mint rose.  

From The Body Shop

There's something about bubbles that brings out the child in all of us. Fill up your bathtub and dump in a quarter of The Body Shop's pear bath blend ($15), and wait for the water to froth and for your bathroom to fill with the refreshingly fruity scent of pears. Enriched with organic aloe vera, this bath blend will leave your skin feeling moisturised and nourished. Don't have a bath tub? Use it straight out the bottle as a regular bath soap.

From Foreo 

While you're chilling out in the bathtub, why not work in a facial massage with the Forea Luna 3 ($299)? This little gadget pulses at 16 different intensities, relying on little silicone fingers to blast away dirt, oil and makeup residue in under a minute. It even links to an app via Bluetooth, where you can choose a variety of firming massage routines. The only other thing you need is your favourite facial cleanser. 

From Ole Henriksen via Sephora

The traditional Scandinavian sauna cycle consists of a hot sauna followed by an icy plunge into the sea or pool. Singapore's tropical weather takes care of the first part, but you can experience the second with Ole Henriksen's cold plunge pore mask ($56). This facial mask cools and detoxifies your skin, tightening pores, smoothening texture and controlling oil. It also feeds the skin with antioxidant-rich botanicals like alpine willowherb and snow lotus. 

From Canningvale via Tangs

What's a spa without some super fluffy towels? Pamper the skin with Canningvale's luxurious Egyptian Royale cotton towels, available at Tangs in a set of four ($79). Woven with extra-long Egyptian cotton fibres, these voluminous towels will have you sitting on cloud nine. 

From L'Occcitane En Provence

After all that soaking, scrubbing and massaging, soothe your skin with an intensely-rich body cream. L'Occitane's best-selling shea butter ultra-rich body cream ($72) will do the job. Made up of 25 percent shea butter, combined with nutrient-rich apricot oil and organic spring honey, it will give your skin a power-packed punch of nourishment to round off your DIY spa day.
