Even if you don't own a home yet, you can still savor the benefits of an at-home sauna, the latest self-care status symbol. There are sauna blankets and portable sauna tents that are way more affordable (as little as under $200!) than the real thing and still give you the ultimate feeling of relaxation, sore muscle relief, and skin hydration.
According to Yelp, at-home spa experiences are driving an increase in indoor and outdoor wellness features. Searches for plunge tubs are up 313 percent, sauna installation are up 77 percent, and steam showers are up 38 percent. As more homeowners look to remodel their bathrooms – bathroom remodel searches up 53 percent on Yelp – they are also looking to turn their bathrooms into their own personal retreats with the best wellness amenities. If you're going to invest in a remodel, make it count, right?
Here are sauna and plunge tub products to bring the spa experience to your home.
