Post-Shower Comfort Kit: Hair Towels, Waffle Robes, Body Butters, Slippers & Spa Tools
23
items The best part of a shower happens after it: hair wrapped up, robe on, a scoop of body butter warming between your palms while your feet are still in slippers. This kit covers the whole routine from Ulta, Sephora, Anthropologie and a few brand-direct ...
This is the robe I would buy first if I could only pick one. The organic cotton waffle weave is airy instead of heavy, so you do not overheat after a hot shower, and it dries and softens more with every wash. It is cut for men or women, which makes i...
Coyuchi Unisex Organic Waffle Robe
Rich and whipped, but it sinks in faster than most body butters I have tried, and the vanilla and sandalwood scent lingers for hours. I scoop it onto damp skin right out of the shower, focusing on my knees, elbows and shins, and my dry winter patches...
Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter
Heels are the part of the body most of us forget until sandal season. The soft core of this sponge bends to the shape of your foot, so it feels gentler than a hard pumice stone. I use it on wet feet at the end of a shower, then follow with lotion and...
Earth Therapeutics Soft Stone Exfoliating Foot Sponge
Cold tile after a hot shower is a rude shock, and these fuzzy slides fix it the moment you step out. They are easy to slip on and off with wet feet, and the plush top makes my feet feel pampered even when the rest of the morning is rushed.
Anthropologie Fuzzy Slide Slippers
A stainless steel dry brush sounded odd to me until I tried it, and it is actually easy to rinse clean and does not hold onto moisture like wood bristles do. I use it with light strokes toward my heart before getting in the shower, and my skin looks ...
Esker Beauty Exfoliating Dry Brush
This one is for anyone who wants a hair towel that feels a little more fun than plain gray. It absorbs water quickly, cuts down on frizz and breakage from rough towel rubbing, and stays put on my head while I brush my teeth and put on moisturizer.
Drybar Dry Martini Microfiber Hair Wrap
If thick butters feel too sticky, this ceramide-based one is the middle ground I reach for. It is rich enough for dry skin but spreads smoothly, and it costs far less than the luxury tubs. I smooth it over my arms and legs while I am still wearing my...
Saltair Multi-Lipid Replenishing Body Butter
Parachute\'s waffle robe is the lightweight Turkish cotton option for people who do not like a thick, heavy terry robe. It has deep hip pockets for my phone or a lip balm and a secure tie, and the weave dries quickly so it is not damp when I hang it ...
Parachute Waffle Robe
The name says it all: you apply this to damp skin right after you get out of the shower, and the botanical oils lock in moisture before you towel off. I like that it smells like a crisp tangerine rather than something heavy, and a couple of pumps cov...
First Aid Beauty After-Shower Nourishing Body Oil
A really good bath towel is a quiet upgrade you notice every single day. This long-staple Turkish cotton set comes with washcloths, hand towels and bath towels, so you can refresh the whole bathroom at once. It is absorbent without feeling thin, and ...
Anthropologie 100% Turkish Cotton Towel Collection
Keeping damp hair off your face is half the battle of a good skincare routine, and this soft headband does it without a headache. The built-in ponytail holder is clever, and the packaging doubles as a small waterproof pouch for the gym bag or a weeke...
Kitsch Ultra Soft Microfiber Leopard Spa Headband
When I want a body cream that disappears into skin in seconds so I can get dressed right away, this is it. Squalane and ceramides keep skin moisturized for a long time, and it is gentle enough for sensitive skin. A great pick if butter feels like too...
Kiehl's Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream
This is the splurge on the list, and I would only suggest it for people who truly love silk. It is lined with slipsilk inside and out, so it reduces friction on freshly washed hair and works beautifully as a quick wrap or even as a night protector fo...
Slip Pure Silk Turban
These are the slippers you wear when you want your feet to feel like they are in a warm hug. The shearling lining stays cozy on cold mornings, and the slide style is quick to step into when you are heading from the bathroom to the kitchen for coffee.
J/Slides Lynx Shearling-Lined Slippers
Shower oils turn into a gentle lather once they hit the water, and this almond version leaves skin feeling softer even before the body butter goes on. It is a nice treat in cooler months when regular body wash leaves me tight and dry.
L'Occitane Almond Softening Shower Oil
Terry is the plush option, and this Turkish cotton one from Lunya has elastic cuffs that keep sleeves from sliding into the sink while you do your skincare. The deep pockets hold a hair tie, a phone, or a small tube of lip balm, which is why I love i...
Lunya Spa Terry Robe
If you want absorbency and a gentler feel, the satin lining on this blush wrap is the difference-maker. It is extra soft against the hair cuticle, so it helps with frizz, and the quick-drying microfiber means it is ready again for tomorrow morning.
Kitsch Quick Drying Satin Lined Microfiber Hair Towel
A sugar scrub is the easy, affordable way to get glowing skin before you moisturize. This one uses shea butter and sugar and smells like warm vanilla, and I use it once or twice a week on my legs and arms, then rinse and move on to the butter.
Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Sugar Scrub
This one is a premium pick for truly dry or cracked skin, and the formula has far less water than most body butters. A scoop goes a long way, so one jar lasts longer than you would expect, and I save it for the hardest-working spots like heels and el...
Fur All Body Butter
If the steel brush feels intense, this softer bamboo and cotton version is a good gentle starter. It is made for sensitive skin, and the cotton handle is easy to grip. It is also an affordable add-on to a gift set for anyone who loves a spa routine.
Kitsch Exfoliating Dry Brush for Sensitive Skin
These are for the person who wants her slippers to feel dressed up even though nobody will see them. The faux fur is plush and photographs beautifully next to a robe, and I like them as a pair to leave by the bathroom door for after the shower.
Margot Faux Fur Slippers
A dry body oil for the days you want your skin to look as good as it feels. It is made with pomegranate, raspberry seed and sea buckthorn oils, and I like to use it after a bath on my shoulders and collarbones for a soft glow before dinner.
goop Afterglow Body Oil
Zero-twist cotton is known for being plush and soft against the skin, and this set has a subtle striped hem that makes the whole bathroom look finished. It is a gorgeous option if you want your towels to look as good as they feel when you step out of...
