Your guide to the best bubble baths, salts, oils, candles, and CBD products
Photo: Suprijono Suharjoto/Getty Images/Tetra images RF I take at least two baths a day. I’m not proud of the carbon footprint it takes to deliver all that hot water, but if it means spending less time on airplanes to make up for it, I’m willing. I don’t bathe for cleansing so much for comfort. The bath is my cocoon, like a liquid Snuggly.
The most important element needed to optimize the bath experience, other than a tub full of really warm water, is low lighting. Taking a bath in a brightly lit bathroom completely defeats the purpose. You want calm, warmth, serenity, hygge. If your light has no dimmer switch, use the shower curtain to block it, or turn the lights off entirely and light a candle.
$29 at Amazon Buy $29 at Dermstore Buy EO Be Well Eucalyptus & Arnica Bubble Bath $23 now 4% off $22 This is cozy in a way that reminds me of being sick as a child. When I lie among these bubbles, I think about my flower-wallpapered bedroom, with Vick’s Vapo-Rub on my neck and the hissing humidifier nearby smelling of eucalyptus oil.
Naturopathica Sweet Birch Magnesium Bath Flakes $38 The bracing, outdoorsy birch aroma in these flakes inclines me to take deeper, longer breaths, but it’s the comforting magnesium that my legs appreciate after I’ve been on my feet all day. $52 at Amazon Buy $52 at Amazon Buy This Works Deep Sleep Bath Soak $41 A blend of calming oils , as well as wild chamomile extract and sea salt, band together to slow the wheels of the mind down before bed. Fun fact: A former British Vogue beauty editor is behind this line.
$69 at Bloomingdale’s Buy $69 at Nordstrom Buy Aromatherapy Associates Forest Therapy $73 Forest Bathing is a big thing in Japan. The term means, essentially, taking a walk in the woods. This blend of evergreen pink pepper, cypress, and juniper berry gets you there without having to travel to Japan, or even take a walk, for that matter.
Prima Soak It In Bath Gem for Relaxation & Recovery $16 I like the square shape , and I like how it’s not overly fragrant or overly fizzy like some bath bombs can be. But what I really like is how the meadow foam and camphor manage to soften not just my skin but the bath water surrounding it. And no, I was not high when I noticed this.
