Top Spots For Do-It-Yourself Spa Supplies In Philadelphia

Everyone loves to get pampered, but these days, it's difficult to be able to afford to treat oneself to expensive spa treatments. Luckily, Philadelphia has many wonderful shops, salons and boutiques scattered throughout the city that offer in-home spa products and treatments, so you can indulge yourself without spending beaucoup bucks.
Adorn Boutique
1314 Frankford Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19125
(215) 739-2120

As many know, this favorite Fishtown shop has fabulous jewelry, bags and clothing. However, it has branched out into the world of in-home spa products and is now carrying Soap Rocks. Soap Rocks bring wonder to daily life and help to transform the most mundane daily tasks into inspiring reminders of nature's beauty. The soap bars light up under water and eventually wither away in your hands. They are endowed with fragrant extracts like aloe, chamomile, lavender, vitamin E, jojoba oil, olive oil and almond oil. Prepare yourself for a positive polishing experience.

3000BC

Chestnut Hill's incredible 3000BC spa also sells its own fantastic skin-enhancing products that combine "ancient wisdom with modern science." Its owner, Korin Korman, previously suffered from skin problems and says drug store products and prescriptions did nothing to help. So she decided to create her own special line of skin care products. It took Korman 20 years to develop the perfect blend of pure organic botanicals mixed with powerful clinical ingredients. She and her products have since received national recognition. The 3000BC anti-aging product line consists of over "100 unique and comprehensive personal care items. These awesome products feature powerful antioxidants, proteins, nourishing emollients, organic essential oils, as well as clinical-strength cosmeceuticals."
