There are few things more luxurious than a bubbly, soothing soak in the tub. Sinking into steaming water and enveloping yourself in relaxing scents while you’re home for the holidays is the perfect reward for all the hard studying you’ve been doing for midterms… and the ideal way to gear up for finals week. These nine products below are everything you need to guarantee the best bath ever. All together now: Ahhhhhh.
Oil
Nip+Fab Detox Blend Bath Soak, $8.99, nipandfab.com
Did someone say detox? With softening coconut oil and a hypnotizing blend of jasmine and green tea, there’s no reason not to reach for this winner by Nip+Fab. The oil in this blend will make your skin silky smooth while the scent and hot water will help you relax and loosen those tight shoulders!
Soak
Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment Oatmeal Bath, $6.99, aveeno.com
Personally, this may be the best thing I’ve ever bought from Aveeno. With 8 packets per box (less than $1 per pack!), this bath treatment is a steal. The magical powder calms itchy skin with finely milled 100% naturally active oatmeal that combats irritated skin, which is often caused by cold, winter.
Scrub
The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Body Polish, $20, thebodyshop-usa.com
Cranberry and Thanksgiving go hand in hand, but you might not want to use Grandma’s famous cranberry sauce for your bath time. This scrub from The Body Shop both smells delicious and reveals radiant, touchable skin by ridding you of flaky winter skin.
Candle
Pacifica Spanish Amber Soy Candle, $6, pacificabeauty.com
No bath is complete without flickering candle light, and this Spanish Amber candle by Pacifica is the perfect size to balance at the corner of your tub while filling the room with the indulgent smell of amber, sandalwood, and bergamot. Bath time just got that much better.
Bubbles
Origins Ginger Float Cream Bubble Bath, $29, origins.com
If you love the spicy smell of ginger, get ready to be obsessed with this ginger bubble bath concoction. Like drinking a cold-pressed juice with ginger, the aroma from these bubbles will warm and invigorate your tired muscles. Also, the frothy bubbles are so insta-worthy.
Fizz
LUSH Butterbear Bath Bomb, $4.95, lushusa.com
Cocoa butter makes sure your skin does not become dehydrated while you lounge in your tub surrounded by the sweet smell of vanilla. This cute bear gives you a reason to soak a little longer, and post-bath, the luxurious vanilla scent lingers on your skin.
Loofah
Sonia Kashuk Satin-Silk Loofah, $4.99, target.com
Can’t have a bath without the proper accessories. We’re talking about a gentle cleansing loofah to rub away your worries and a cute rubber ducky to keep you company. This one from Sonia Kashuk is so silky soft you won’t ever want to be without it again!
Music
MINI JAMBOX by Jawbone, $99.99 + optional $50 waterproof coating, jawbone.com
Yes, we know this isn’t a beauty product—but a long bath just isn’t the same without your favorite tunes. It’s a bit pricey, but the sound is insane and waterproof coating protects against steam damage.
Sensitive
California Baby Overtired And Cranky Bubble Bath, $13.29, target.com
This chemical-free bubble bath alternative may sound silly for grown women to use, but baby products are gentle enough even for the most sensitive skin. Also, the title says it all—overtired and cranky is right on the money.
Grab your rubber ducky and favorite bubble bath—it’s time to relax!
