FAQs

What do I need for a home spa?

A diffuser or candles, bath salts or oils, a comfortable towel or robe, and optional tools like a face roller or body brush. Keep it simple to start.

How much does a home spa setup cost in the UK?

A basic setup — diffuser, bath oils, Epsom salts, and a face tool — can cost £30–£60. Adding a foot spa or heated blanket increases the budget.

Are essential oil diffusers safe in the bathroom?

Yes. Use a USB or battery model away from water. Avoid placing them where steam or splashes can reach the unit.
