1. SET THE MOOD
Before diving into your spa treatments, it's all about creating the right atmosphere. Dim the lights, put on your favourite relaxing playlist, and light a Relaxing Candle from L’OCCITANE’s home collection to infuse the air with soothing scents straight from Provence. This is your moment to slow down.
Top tip: A few spritzes of an aromatic Lavander room mist on your towel or verbena scent to awaken your body and mind, can transform your space into a true home spa.

2. SOAK IT UP WITH A RELAXING BATH
No home spa experience is complete without a calming soak. Whether you’re craving a dreamy bubble bath or a skin-softening bath milk, this is the time to let go.
Try this: Add a generous pour of our Lavender Foaming Bath for a deeply relaxing scent that fills the room and softens your skin. Follow with one of our hydrating shower milk or gels for a sensorial cleanse.

3. TIME FOR A SCRUB
Next up, exfoliation! Scrubbing is key to glowing skin and a spa-like finish. For a full-body refresh, gently massage a scrub onto dry or damp skin using circular motions.
- For a more indulgent, sensorial experience: the Almond Delicious Paste is a favourite, or Almond Shower Scrub with a smooth and delicately texture in gel.
- For firmness and relieve water retention: Artichoke Body Scrub, a delicate jelly texture that warms on contact with the skin and enhances microcirculation to improve the appearance of cellulite.
Expert tip: Stick to exfoliating two times per week to remove the dead cells and smooth your skin. Pair this with a loofah or exfoliating mitt for the ultimate at-home spa treatment.
Tip: Make sure you exfoliate twice a week, but no more. Exfoliating too often can strain your skin!

4. NOURISH YOUR BODY
Right after exfoliating and bathing is the golden hour for hydration. Don’t skip this step, it’s what separates a regular shower from a full-on spa treatment at home.
Choose your vibe:
- For ultra hydration: Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream, a rich texture with 25% she Butter.
- For smoothing and toning: Almond Milk Concentrate, perfect for firming the skin while leaving it silky-soft.
- For a luxurious massage balm: Almond Delightful Body Balm, luxurious texture of the almond range, leaving skin firmer, smoother and feeling more supple.
- For revive skin's youthfulness and luminosity: Immortelle Shea Pro-Youth Body Balm, to improved elasticity, tone, and youthful radiance.
Apply generously, take your time massaging it in, and let your skin drink it up.
