Beyond the Bottle: Gifting the Experience of a Spa Day at Home

It’s that time of year again. The calendar is filling up, the weather is warming, and the holiday rush is almost upon us. While gift shopping often defaults to material things, this year, let’s look beyond the bottle and give something truly invaluable: the gift of tranquillity.

We’re talking about the ultimate self-care package—gifting the experience of an exquisite spa day at home. Whether it’s for the holidays, a birthday, a new mother, or just because, curating a bespoke DIY spa day at home with Jericho Skincare ANZ products is the chicest way to say, “I care.”

Beyond pampering, this gift idea is about providing a results-driven ritual using the potent, healing power of authentic Dead Sea minerals.

Here is your essential guide and at-home spa day checklist for curating a magnificent spa experience for your loved one right in your own bathroom.

Five Steps on How to Create a Spa Day at Home

Intentionality is the key to a successful at-home spa experience. Start with the space. The area needs to be transformed and filled with high-quality, mineral-rich products that show results. 

Step 1: Set Up the Sanctuary

Set the mood before you even think about where to put the products. This step is all about creating the most relaxing atmosphere.

• Silence the Noise: Ask your loved one to put their phone on “Do Not Disturb.” This is a must.

• Dim the Lights: If possible, use candles (preferably unscented so they don’t clash with the body care products) or soft lamps.

• Put on Calming Music: Think gentle piano, natural sounds, or ambient tunes.

• Hydrate: Have a glass of lemon-infused water or herbal tea ready.

Step 2: Create a Detoxifying Soak (The Heart of the Experience)

The best spa day at home starts with opening the pores and easing the muscles. The Dead Sea is the secret weapon here.

Our Product Recommendation: Dead Sea Bath Salts 

A proper DIY spa bath is incomplete without our pure, mineral-rich Dead Sea bath salts.

Why they work: The Dead Sea contains an astonishing concentration of minerals—Magnesium, Calcium, and Bromine—far exceeding regular seawater. Magnesium is known to aid in muscle relaxation and is crucial for lowering stress, while calcium promotes healthy skin turnover and helps regulate cell membranes. Bromine is a natural anti-inflammatory for skin.

In addition to calming your loved one, a 20-minute soak lets their skin absorb the minerals organically, preparing it for the next steps. (If a bath isn’t possible, our luxurious shower gels and soaps offer a beautiful, aromatic cleansing alternative.)

Step 3: Refine and Renew with Exfoliation

After the heat and steam have softened the skin, it’s the perfect time to buff away dullness. This is a critical step that explains why an exfoliator is essential in this routine.

Our Product Recommendation: Body Exfoliators 

Choose one of our gentle yet effective body exfoliators.

Why they work: Exfoliation removes the layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) that sits on the surface. When this layer is thick, the skin looks dull, and subsequent products can’t penetrate effectively. By polishing it away, your loved one can reveal their fresh, glowing skin beneath and ensure maximum absorption for the nourishing treatments to come. Remind them to apply the product in circular motions, paying extra attention to dry areas like knees and elbows, then rinse thoroughly.

Step 4: Perform the Deep Cleanse with Dead Sea Mud

This is the ultimate professional-grade treatment. Dead Sea Mud is renowned globally for its deep cleansing and detoxifying properties.

Our Product Recommendation: Dead Sea Mud 

Tell your loved one to apply a generous layer of our authentic Dead Sea mud to the body (avoiding the face, unless using a specific facial mud mask).

Why it works: The mud acts like a magnet. As it dries, it pulls impurities, toxins, and excess oil from the pores, while simultaneously infusing the skin with the same therapeutic minerals found in the salts. This dual action detoxifies and softens, leaving the skin purified and incredibly smooth. 

Encourage your loved one to relax while the mask works—this is the perfect time for a silent meditation or a chapter of a good book.

Step 5: Hydrate, Nourish, and Finish the Glow

The final step is perhaps the most important: locking in the moisture and nutrients. The dullness has been stripped away; now they must seal the deal.

Our Product Recommendation: Total Body Care Bundles 

To truly create a spa day at home and finish with an incomparable shine, we recommend the complete indulgence of a set. A good choice to answer the question of what to buy for a spa day at home is one of our curated bundles, which provide a complete sensory experience from start to finish:

• Snow White Perfumed Body Care Bundle: A luxurious collection that includes all the essentials for a perfumed, lasting softness.

• DSM Total Body Care Bundle Coconut & Vanilla: A beautiful set that combines the power of Dead Sea minerals with a comforting, decadent aroma.
