A good spa night at home doesn't need a fancy bathroom, just a few things that make the evening feel like a treat.
Start with a sheet mask: pick a variety set if you like switching it up, or an overnight mask if you'd rather sleep in it. Add a bath bomb for the soak, then a robe to wrap up in after. A scalp massager turns a regular hair wash into the best part of the night, and a sleep mask helps you carry that calm straight into bed. Every pick won a named award from NBC Select or Reviewed, with budget, mid and splurge options, and each card shows the drawback the reviewers called out.
Who this is not for. Skip this if you want a full daily skincare routine; our winter skin list covers moisturizer, lip balm and hand cream.

A sheet mask, something for the bath like a bath bomb, and a robe cover the basics. A scalp massager and a sleep mask make the night feel extra relaxing.
Follow the directions on the pack. For example, NBC Select notes the TonyMoly masks go on a clean face for 20 minutes, while the Biodance mask is designed to wear overnight.
Not really. Bath bombs need a tub, but sheet masks, a robe, a scalp massager and a sleep mask all work with just a shower.
