A spa break can be just what you need after a long week at work or any time you’re in need of some rest and relaxation. Whether you’re heading to the spa for the day or an entire weekend, there’s nothing worse than arriving ready to chill out only to find that you’ve forgotten to pack something essential. So, I’ve put together a packing list to help you make sure that you have got everything that you need for a relaxing break.

Flip Flops
While most spas will provide you with slippers, it’s always good to have some kind of footwear that you don’t mind getting wet. You can wear your soft slippers indoors and in the treatment areas, and wear flip flops or sliders in the pool area or the showers.
Skincare Products
While you will be able to use the skin care products available at the spa when you’re going for a relaxing treatment like a facial, you’ll want to bring your own skincare products along so that you can make sure that your skin is soft and smooth after you’ve gotten out of the pool and jumped into the shower. If you’re planning to spend a lot of time in the pool, the chlorine can leave your skin feeling dry, so be sure to take your favourite moisturiser and body lotions. You can find a wide range of designer skincare products from Tata Harper at SSENSE. The Tata Harper range includes purifying cleanser, hyaluronic gel moisturiser, rejuvenating serum and more.
Hair Ties
Even if you rarely ever tie up your hair, you will be glad that you remembered to pack a few hair ties for your spa weekend. They are essential if you want to keep your hair dry when you are in the jacuzzi or pool, and can come in handy for keeping oils and other products from getting into your hair when you’re enjoying treatments like a back massage.
Book or e-Reader
Reading a book can be an ideal way to switch off, and since you want to spend most of your time at the spa relaxing, a book or e-reading device is worth packing. Whether you have a novel that you’ve been wanting to finish for ages or have seen a new release that you want to read, curl up on your lounger after getting a massage and enjoy.
Waterproof Bag
A waterproof bag for storing your bikinis or one-pieces can be a lifesaver, especially on the last day when you might not have had time to let your bikini dry out before packing to go home. With a waterproof bag, it doesn’t matter that your clothes are still wet. A small one can be packed into another bag easily while everything else stays dry.
Whether you’re going for an afternoon or a whole weekend, a spa break is a wonderful way to relax. These are just some of the things that you might not think to pack immediately, but you will be glad that you did.
