How To Make Bath Time A Luxurious Experience

How To Make Bath Time A Luxurious Experience

Do you really enjoy a good bath? Maybe you’re one of the lucky few who gets fifteen minutes or more to luxuriate in warm water before rushing off to work, but for many of us, a shower is part wake-up call, part personal hygiene, and part discovering our hidden singing talents. But your daily bath can be a spa-like cocoon of calm if you play it right.

We’re talking about investing in some chic new products to boost your bathing rituals. Think gloriously scented soaps, bath oils, multi-tasking skin polishes, and of course some seriously Instagram-worthy packaging to enhance those beautiful bathroom vibes.

Thanks to a whole host of new bath launches, time-strapped, need not mean basic hygiene anymore. First of all: What are you washing with? A simple soap doesn’t quite cut it to strip away layers of pollution, we’re picking up a wholesome jar of Sake Bath Soak, a purifying silky foaming formula that works to cleanse, soften and moisturize the skin. Not to mention it’ll scent your bath beautifully, while also nourishing your skin and leaving it lightly fragranced.

Of course, exfoliation is non-negotiable for truly supple skin. Eradicate any thoughts of picking up bits of salt scrub out of your drain. Instead, while your bath warms up, decant a handful of Himalayan Bath Salts into running water. Take a few deep breaths to absorb the aroma and soak in the salts, that help balance hormonal instability, releases tension and eases out muscular aches and pains. If you prefer lathering your skin with some delicious body polish, we’d recommend Herbivore’s Crushed Amethyst Exfoliating Body Polish to slough away dead skin cells and get that luminous glow.

Next on your checklist should be a fragrant candle that can make all the difference to your bath time. Pro tip: If you’d rather not play with fire, crush some fresh eucalyptus leaves and then tie to your shower hose for a truly invigorating experience.

To give you a low-down on  how to take that perfect rejuvenating bath, we’ve rounded up all the products that you need to add to your bathroom shelf. So, dim those lights, slip into your hot tub, and just relax.
