There is nothing, we repeat, NOTHING better at the end of a long day than lighting a candle, dimming the lights, and crawling into a hot bath for some much deserved R&R. While there is nothing wrong with a plain old soak in the tub, the bath industry has stepped it up, over the past few years.
We’ve compiled a list of our absolute must-have pampering items, in order to turn your tub into a luxury experience, worthy of any spa.
Dr. Teal’s Epsom Salt Soaking Solution
If your bathroom is your kingdom, Dr. Teal’s is king. A tried and true staple for all bath enthusiasts, these powerful salts contain magnesium, which can help moisturize and revitalize skin, so you emerge from the water absolutely glowing. For all you gym babes out there, Epsom salts can also help soothe tired and achy muscles.
Dr. Teal’s comes in a variety of scents. Our personal favorites are the lavender, to help you get a good night’s sleep and the subtly citrus-scented Himalayan salts.
Aromatherapy Associates Relax – Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil
Bath oils have taken center stage over the past few years, and it’s no surprise. With the powerful properties of aromatherapy essential oils and the added benefit of deep moisturization, a bath oil will make even the quickest dip in the tub feel deluxe.
We recommend the Deep Relax Bath and Shower Oil from Aromatherapy Associates Relax. With a soothing mix of chamomile, vetiver, and sandalwood oils, this product will have you catching z’s the moment your head hits the pillow.
Lord Jones High CBD Formula Bath Salts
If you are late to the CBD train, these bath salts are the perfect thing to get you started. CBD has been proven to reduce stress and increase relaxation, and the high-quality, 240 mg in this bottle are sure to help you let go of the worries of your day. Packaged beautifully, these salts have a delicate citrus and evergreen scent, as well as contain beautiful botanicals.
The Honest Company Bubble Bath
Are you looking for a product that your whole family can use? The Honest Company has got your back (and your bath!). A tried and true favorite, here at The Cool Mom Co., these bubbles are free of chemicals that can irritate the sensitive skin of the smallest members of your household. Available in four essential oil-based scents (including fragrance-free), these products feel elevated enough for the grownups and kids to share…although on second thought, we totally understand if you want to use them all yourself!
Lush Butterball Bath Bomb
Lush products have been a go-to in the bath industry for the past few years, and it’s easy to see why. With a plethora of cruelty-free and vegan products, in every color and scent under the rainbow, you are sure to find something that appeals to your particular taste. Our favorite? Hands down, their bestselling Butterball Bath Bomb. Infused with pieces of cocoa butter, this hydrating bath bomb is sure to make any nighttime routine feel fun.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
The pamper sesh doesn’t have to end when the water drains out of the tub. Treat yourself to this firming product, packed with caffeine to help re-energize your skin. This antioxidant-rich cream works to combat environmental damage (perfect for those of us living in warm climates) and absorbs quickly without leaving behind a greasy residue.
Esker Soothing & Uplifting Belly Oil
Looking to spoil a mama-to-be in your life? Surprise her with a vial of Esker’s Soothing & Uplifting Belly Oil. These oils are designed to moisturize skin and aid in preventing and treating stretch marks. Organic and free of toxins, they are totally safe to use around your growing baby (or yourself!). For an extra splurge buy her one of each scent: Uplifting for the morning, and Soothing for night!
Klei Beauty Rose & Coconut Milk Soothe Bath Soak
This bath soak is the bottled version of a tub strewn with rose petals. Take yourself on a romantic date by sprinkling some of this in your bath. Relax as soothing essential oils, french rose clay, and dead sea salt perfume the air. By the end, you might just believe you are on that island you’ve been dreaming about!
It is essential to take time for ourselves, and with these products, you’ll be well on your way to relaxing and rejuvenating!
