If your summer break this year doesn’t include a trip to the spa, have the spa come home to you. Here’s how to create a rejuvenating experience in your own bathroom:

1) Clear the house. Send your spouse and kids to the movies, to the beach, to the playground. If they absolutely have to stay home, have everyone swear an oath to not disturb you.

2) Set the mood. Candles offer a soft, relaxing light and can add scent to your setting. A favorite ambient playlist can provide the perfect zone out soundtrack.

3) Accessorize. You might want a loofah sponge to refresh your skin, a Microdry Memory Foam Ultimate Luxury Bath Pillow to cushion and cradle your head comfortably. You can even add a beach ball if that adds to the spa getaway feel.

4) Hydrate. If you’re planning a hot soak or if you’ve simply been spending a lot of time out in the summer heat, you’ll really want to have cold water on hand to keep you hydrated. Go ahead and copy the big name spas by adding some lemons to your pitcher.

5) Pour it on. Let the water flow along with any bubbles or bath oils you prefer for pampering your skin and revitalizing your senses. In terms of bath oils, go with lavender to chill out, rosemary to rev up, or eucalyptus oil to boost your immune system.

6) Treat your feet. When you're ready to emerge from the water, its time to pamper your feet. Step from the bath onto a Microdry Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Bath Mat. The softness and cushioning is a perfect gentle transition back into the real world.

7) Dry smart. Wrap yourself in the Microdry Performance Towel. First it will embrace you in softness and then it will instantly absorb the water on your skin without harsh rubbing. This is helpful if you’re summer skin is on the dry side from sun or chlorine exposure.

8) Wrap it up. Pull on a Microdry Body Wrap. As soft and absorbent as the Performance Towel, the wrap keeps you feeling dry and cozy as you prepare for more pampering. And, unlike a towel, it promises to stay put as you move around.

9) Help your hair. Wrap your tresses in the Microdry Hair Turban to gently dry them and keep it out of your face as you treat yourself to a mask or scrub. Seaweed products are especially great for summer skin, delivering moisture and minerals to your face.

10) Make it last. Linger in the bathroom as long as you can. Enjoy the moist, warm air created by your bath. Do some deep breathing and even stretch out on your Microdry Memory Foam Runner like you would at the end of a yoga class to complete your relaxation and rejuvenation ritual.
