Take home the spa: How to re-create the 10 most sought-after treatments in the privacy of your own bathroom

10. Get drenched in a rain-forest shower. Spas re-create tropical rain forests with oversized, drenching-rain shower heads, and you can too, with Waterpik's rubber-nozzled Cascadia, offering your choice of full-body or concentrated power ($50-$75; waterpik.com). Also available for the home is Kohier's BodySpa, a vertical lineup of 10 hydrojets that target key body points. It's like having a resident brawny robot massage therapist in your shower - and is about as expensive at $6,150 (kohler.com).

Two new spa-based product lines offer more ways to bring the spa home.

Canyon Ranch Living Essentials The Mango Sugar Glo Collection (57-324; 800-726-8040) is the first retail product collection from this award-winning spa. You can choose from an exfoliating scrub, body and bath oil, SPF moisturizing lotion (all made from sugar, a natural exfoliant, and jojoba oil, a skin hydrator).

Body Harmony The Nemacolin woodlands Spa in Farmington, Pa., developed this line of 98-percent-natural products ($14-S19; 800-422-2736), which range from a salt scrub and body lotion to shampoo and conditioner (all of which are infused with the calming scents of ginger and Irish moss).
