Taking a bath has become a nightly ritual for me. The time to myself is something I look forward to every night- it's relaxing and in a lot of ways, cathartic. It gives me the space to recharge from the day and wind-down before bed. I've tried lots of bath products over the years, however I always go back to Dr. Teal's. They make my favorite non-irritating, calming bath salts and bubble baths. Where bath products are concerned, you have to be careful with highly fragrant products/soaps. They can easily irritate intimate areas which is an automatic no-go for me and my number one requisite for a bath time essential. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with these!
The two products I constantly re-purchase are the Dr. Teal's Epsom Salts and bubble baths. The epsom salt is great for tired, sore muscles and to remove toxins from the body. Both products come in an assortment of scents, however I usually like to go for the plain, unscented epsom salt. I'll then add in one of the bubble baths for suds + scent depending on my mood. I like that they have an array of scents for different purposes. My favorites are the Restore & Replenish, Relax & Relief and Detoxify & Energize. To keep my skin from drying out too much, I limit using the salts to every once in awhile. My body will usually tell me when I need a little extra pain relief or detox!
I always shave in the bath so a good razor and shaving cream is also essential. I don't get super fancy with these- just what works! Right now I'm using this razor and my go-to shaving cream. Every once in awhile I'll also wash my hair too, however most nights I skip this! I'm currently testing out this shampoo & conditioner from Aveeno. They're designed to detox and sooth the scalp. So far the results have been promising-- my hair feels very clean and looks + feels soft and shiny.
That's pretty much it! Are you a bath person or do you prefer showers? I will take a bath over a shower any day of the week! For my bath lovers-- I am on the hunt for a good pillow to use in the tub. If you have any good recommendations, please send them my way! Hope you are having a great week!
