Time to dream: You check into a glamorous day spa, slip into a plush terrycloth robe, and indulge in hours of decadent hair, skin and body treatments (preferably while some hot, bare-chested massage therapist feeds you chocolate-covered strawberries).  Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it?  Sadly, in this economy, most of us could only afford the strawberries.  The good news is, you don’t have to drop hundreds of dollars at a fancy spa to pamper yourself.  Turn your bathroom into your own private spa with these luxe, at-home beauty treatments.

SAVING FACE
If you’re desperately in need of a skin-clearing facial, don’t waste your dollars at the spa.  Treat your complexion to a deep-cleansing mask right in the comfort of your own bathroom!  Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask ($21, at Origins.com) cleans out pores in a flash, leaving skin looking positively radiant.

PRETTY PEDS
The latest trendy pedicure can set you back a pretty penny.  Pamper your tootsies on a budget with an easy-to-do home pedicure cream.  Try Olay Thermal Pedicure ($10.49, at Drugstore.com).  This multi-tasking foot treatment not only heats up on contact with wet skin (so soothing!), it also exfoliates rough calluses and corns, and moisturizes with shea butter.

MANE EVENT
Skip pricey salons and apply your own at-home deep conditioning treatment.  Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment ($26, at Aveda.com) uses the purest botanicals to nourish dehydrated strands, leaving them glossier and healthier than ever.  Simply massage into wet hair, pile it into a shower cap for twenty minutes, and then rinse.

BODY BEAUTIFUL
Sick of cellulite?  Forget wallet-busting body wraps and deep tissue massages.  Instead, slather on a body cream containing caffeine, an ingredient known to help smooth out puckered, dimply areas.  Try Korres Black Tea & Verbena Skin Smoothing Cream-Gel with Caffeine ($38, at Dermadoctor.com).
