The Best California-Made Products for a Dreamy DIY Spa Day

We all love relaxing and being pampered at a spa every now and then. A spa day helps us to rejuvenate and relieve stress, recharge for the upcoming week, eliminate toxins in our bodies, and put our minds at ease. Even when we can’t plan a spa visit or wellness retreat, it doesn’t mean we should deprive ourselves of the health benefits these experiences provide, so set aside time to enjoy a DIY spa day.

California is home to many high-quality brands that use the state’s natural bounty to make some of the best bath and beauty products available. Here are a few of our favorite locally made spa products that will inspire DIY spa day ideas so you can create a perfect spa day at home. 

LOS ANGELES SOY CANDLE

Made by: P. F. Candle Co., Los Angeles

P.F. Candle Co. is a home fragrance company headquartered in Los Angeles, handcrafting candles, incense, and room diffusers in an impressive variety of scents. For those who love L.A., there’s a perfect product for you: the Los Angeles soy candle, whose combination of lime, jasmine, and yarrow will transport you to the landscape of L.A.

Set the tone for your at-home spa day by lighting this vegan candle, which is guaranteed to boost your mood and add a pleasant scent to any room. Best of all, you can feel even better by knowing you’re supporting a good cause.

LAVENDER BODY SCRUB CUBES

SEATEA BATH BAG
