Anyone who's ever washed their face over the bathroom sink knows how much of a commotion it can turn into: the countertop always ends up getting heavily splashed, and as much as you try, your hairline and arms still manage to get soaking wet. Enter: spa headbands.

Typically crafted from absorbent materials like microfiber or terrycloth, a spa headband helps keep your hairline dry while washing your face, wiping away the day's makeup at night, or treating yourself to a self-care routine. It's proof that sometimes it's the small things that make all the difference.

Ahead, the best spa headbands to upgrade your at-home self-care routine.
