The Best Bath Bombs, Bath Salts & Bubble Baths

Homestyle Spa acquired a new meaning to many of us during the last two years of the ongoing pandemic. Although places of relaxation and skincare indulgence are opening up again, it does not mean we are willing to give up the goodness of soaking in bubbles, oils and salts. After all, filling up a bath at home requires minimum effort, while the results of relaxing in warm water at the end of the day are tremendously beneficial.

“There’s definitely a mind-skin connection. Stress can interfere with your immune system and affect the skin’s ability to heal. That’s why a relaxation ritual can help with acne, hair loss, and skin issues like eczema, inflammation, and hives,” said dermatologist Annie Chiu for ELLE.

Unlike taking a daily shower, bathing is a more decadent, luxurious experience. And, there are skincare products that can lift it to a higher level of relaxation and enjoyment. Let us call taking a bath ‘a special occasion’ whenever you feel sore, stressed or simply want to treat your body. For such a special occasion we selected a list of bath bombs, salts, and bubbles.

How to choose bath bombs, bath salts & bubble baths

Bath salts: The benefits of bath salts are well known. Filling a bath with lukewarm water and dissolving salt enriched with minerals can moisturize and purify skin, relieve stress, soothe pain and relax muscles. Commonly used is magnesium sulphate (Epsom salt), different types of coarse sea salt or Himalayan salt.

Essential oils: Essential oils have one main benefit – aromatherapy. Just like citrus oil in a diffuser can boost your productivity and awaken your senses, lavender oil, added in the bathtub, has a comforting, almost tranquillizing effect on your mind. However, if you have sensitive skin or are prone to eczema, we suggest staying away from adding essential oils to your bathtub because they can cause a reaction.

(A little tip from the writer and a vivid bath taker who takes at least two baths a week during cold winter months: to avoid running out of salt and other bathing supplies, I prefer to buy a large container of non-scented Epsom salt, a jar of lavender/eucalyptus/rose oil and mix them later in the water. It saves money and grants an ability to create your own mix based on your mood.)

Bath bombs: If salts and oils are easy to choose, bath bombs require more consideration. They come in a variety of shapes, colours and could be filled with ingredients that might be harmful to sensitive skin. The base three components used to make bath bombs are usually baking soda, citric acid and cornstarch. Besides that, they can include dyes, perfume and Epsom salt. Thus, avoid using bath bombs that contain potentially harmful ingredients: it could be anything that caused a rash previously, (often-synthetic fragrances).

Bubble baths: A foamy layer on the water surface is not only for holding rose petals. It keeps water in the tub warm for a longer time, increases skin softening and often provides a luxurious scent. The latter feature sounds especially appealing if you are not using essential oils. Make sure to read the ingredients list or select a product that was created specifically for sensitive skin.

Price: There is no reason to deny the fact that often price tag is based on the brand name. However, when it comes to choosing the right skincare, we should not always consider that the best ones are the most expensive ones. The same applies to the cheapest drug store options. What matters here is the combination of ingredients and the cleanness of the product. After all, it penetrates through your skin whether you dissolve bath salts in water or apply moisturizer.

(Tip from the writer: To solve that price matter, I often choose a golden middle. As I do not completely trust colourful cheap bath bombs from drug stores, I search for organic options from small vegan brands as Lush or look for the middle-market price segment that are not as expensive as luxury brands, yet as trustworthy.)

DIY: Best bath salts recipe

If you want to control ingredients that go into your bath salts or look for an easy DIY project, mix up your own skincare treat. There are many variations you can come up with based on mood, season, scent preference. However, the main components are Epsom salt, coarse sea salt, Himalayan salt, essential oils and baking soda. As an option, you can add nourishing oils and dried flower’s petals. Thus, after you collected all the required ingredients, get to mixing!

Combine 3 cups of Epsom salt, ½ sea salt (or Himalayan salt), ½ of baking soda, 10-15 drops of essential oils. The mix will give you enough amount for the next few bathing sessions (just ½ cup is enough per bathtub). Store the mixture in a cool, dry place.

DIY: Best Bath bomb recipe for dry skin

We have decided to expand our typical list of products and leave a little idea for a DIY project.

Why trust us

(Note from the writer: trust me because such self-care as taking a bath is a therapy and a passion of mine.) But seriously, our main goal is not only to suggest products that we would or already buy for ourselves. We spent many hours researching available options on the market, chose only those that won the approval of many other customers, buying guides (Byrdie, Harper’s Bazaar, PureWow), and industry professionals. We carefully selected products that would best fit bath salts, bombs and bubbles categories.

The entire research, review, and writing process took us more than 20 hours. We primarily choose home spa products that have an average of at least four stars on Amazon and other online review platforms.

Add ¾ tablespoon water, mold the ball, smooth the sides and let it dry.

Epsom salt vs dead sea salt?

You might be surprised, but Epsom salt consists of no salt at all. It was named that way because of the resemblance in appearance that looks like salt crystals.

Wait until the bathtub is filled with a few inches of water. When adding a bubble bath, pour it right underneath the stream of running water. In that case, you will get a duvet of bubbles covering the water surface.

Foam bath vs bubble bath?

A foam bath and a bubble bath are the same things. They both refer to a product that is used to make bubbles in the water.
