The 24 Best Luxury Bath Products to Make You Forget What Stress Feels Like
This soak will be worth the prune-y fingers.
Why is it that drawing ourselves a bath and whiling away the hours with a good soak seems like a pipe dream? The best bath products can make it a reality while transforming your bathroom into a luxurious at-home spa. And we're not talking about the bubbles you remember as a kid (although those serve their purpose). We're talking baths reimagined with elevated and luxury bath products like oils, elixirs, bombs, and fragrance foams that will make you forget you're sitting in your apartment. A good bath with good bath products provides an element of escapism—a moment of self-care to take your mind off things.
All you'll need to do is light your favorite candles and get your background music going, perhaps with a book and a beverage in the mix. Then, let the best bath products do the rest of the work for you. By adding a few from the edit ahead to your repertoire, you'll undoubtedly enjoy better peace of mind, a heavenly scent, and the softest skin of your life. You'll not only revel in your tranquil handiwork but possibly become a full-blown bather seven days a week.
Maude Soak No. 1
Essentially a fancier way to soak, these de-stressing crystals are infused with amber, cedar leaf, clove, lemongrass, and Medjool date aromatics to relax your muscles (because even sitting all day takes its toll). Fun fact: Dakota Johnson joined the Maude team as an investor and co-creative director.
Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Soaking Solution
Dr. Teal's pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate is a winner for soothing sore muscles. Epsom salts are notoriously detoxifying as they absorb in the skin with ease, reduce inflammation, and flush toxins. So if lavender is your go-to aroma, let these little crystallines ease away your stress before bedtime.
Ouai Chill Pills
We could all use more chill pills throughout the day. Pop a few of these bath bombs into running water to honestly calm the F down. They're made with soothing oils like jojoba, safflower, and hemp seed, so you'll not only feel serene on the inside but feel oh-so softened and moisturized skin on the outside, too.
Pursoma Digital Detox Cleansing Bath Soak
This "digital detox" bath soak is the ultimate way to unplug. It combines raw, vegan ingredients with montmorillonite clay to remove the positively-charged radiation that builds in our bodies after hours spent in front of the computer and phone screen. Fifteen minutes is all you need for a total reboot.
Fur Bath Drops
These shiny drops contain the brand's signature fur oil along with nourishing botanicals like clary sage, grape seed oil, and more to envelop the skin in a veil of hydration. Fact: If you're dealing with inflammation, clary sage is an astringent essential oil that works to soothe rough patches and clogged pores.
NatureOfThings Restorative Floral Bath
The price of this bath elixir veers on steep, but it carries actual gems and rich stones inside of it. We're not kidding—you'll find rose quartz and malachite extract in this formula, both of which have energy-balancing and spirit renewal powers. There's also mineral water and hydrating oils to hydrate your pores and soften the skin. Oh, and how can we not mention the beautiful packaging?
Kneipp Refreshing Eucalyptus Aromatherapy Bubble Bath
Besides the fact that this bubble bath turns your water into a dreamy blue hue akin to a rainforest bathing sanctuary, it's full of good-for-you essential oils. Eucalyptus, its star ingredient, is known to clear out congestion and resolve respiratory problems. And with spring—aka allergy season—upon us, this therapeutic formula might be your sneeze and watery eye antidote.
Royal Botanicals Rose Geranium Bath Soak
If you're looking for an all-in-one bathing product, look no further than Royal Botanical's revitalizing mix of Dead Sea salts and organic essential oils of the "flower of constancy." Extra points for the lovely Victorian-inspired amber glass bottle that will look so chic perched next to your tub.
Fresh Sake Bath
Pour a few drops of this elixir into your bath, close your eyes, then imagine you're indulging in a traditional Japanese bathing ritual. With 38-percent sake in the formula to detoxify, you'll feel your body temperature start to rise, ridding your body of toxins and increasing your blood circulation.
Bastide Huile d'Aix Orange Blossom Bath Oil
Dealing with dryness? This Vitamin E-rich bath oil is full of antioxidants that will smooth over rough patches and leave your skin feeling oh-so silky. You won't even feel inclined to apply lotion (although you should) because you'll step out of the tub thoroughly moisturized from this luxurious oil. Pour two cups into your bath when your water runs to get the full effect.
Amass Forest Bath Salts
If you're less than enthused by lavender, peppermint, or citrus scents, look to Amass's earthy bath salts, featuring nourishing sweet almond and apricot kernel oils. The refreshing formula is so popular it's currently sold out—we suggest adding yourself to the waitlist so you can get your hand on it (and muscles into it) the moment it restocks.
