For the bath haters my EXTRA tips
Since quite a few people on here have mentioned they don’t like baths, I thought I would share my personal bath routine/tips. This may be too extra for some people or just not your vibe, and that’s totally okay, but this is what I personally enjoy doing.
Shower before and after the bath !!
By this I don’t mean a full 10 step everything shower every time. If it’s a hair wash day, I’ll shampoo my hair, apply a hair mask, cleanse my body, and maybe even do a face mask. On non hair wash days, I’ll still cleanse my body beforehand and maybe throw on a face mask if I’m in the mood.Then I run the bath
I usually start with a plain Epsom salt because I want my Lush bath products to really shine. Then I’ll use a bubble bar under the running water in a sieve for maximum bubbles, or sometimes a shower gel for bubbles instead.
Once the bath is filled and I’m in, I’ll use a bath bomb, sometimes only half of one, and just soak for as long as I want.
Tip: If you don’t have a waterproof phone case, putting your phone in a Ziplock bag honestly works great.
A few things that make the bath feel even more relaxing:
A)a scented candle
B)a bath pillow !!!!
C)a tray to hold your things
D)snacks, tea, wine, whatever you enjoy. For me I will do an iced cherry juice Which is very relaxing and refreshing especially if you do get overheated in a bath again there are no rules lol.
Personally, I just bring my juice and my phone and read, but you can also put a laptop on a tray and watch a show or movie.
- After the bath
Once I’m fully soaked and the water gets cold, I drain the bath, put everything away, and rinse out my hair mask and/or wash off my face mask. Then I cleanse my body one final time. If I’m feeling extra, I’ll use Scrubee, otherwise I’ll just go in with a lotion or massage bar after the shower, and then we’re done.
This is not for everyone but if you’re someone like me and don’t feel clean from just a bath this is whatI like to do and feels most efficient to me bc if I’m going to have to sit in a face mask anyway might as well be in the bath . To most this may be wayyy too much and that’s ok lol but for some this may change u into a bath person.
