Prune-y fingers aside, bath time is basically bliss. The hot water feels absolutely heavenly – and for good reason – soaking in it causes our body temperature to increase and our blood vessels to dilate.
What does this actually mean, you ask? Basically a boost in circulation and a decrease in joint pain. Ideal. But though the health benefits are impressive, let’s be real; most of us are there to relax.
So, if you’re looking to upgrade the ambience, allow us to suggest a few of our favourite bath soaks – get ready for your bathroom to smell like a spa and your skin to feel softer than ever. Happy soaking.

Oh me too!
I don’t think I’ve ever used bath soaks before!
I would love to find the time to have a bath.
My mum loves to have a bath. Perhaps I should buy her one of these for Mother’s Day.
These sound so heavenly! And I in a house with no bath!
I’m loving all the bath salts that are appearing more and more!
It’s much better for your skin than a bath bomb. It may not look as fun and exciting, but your skin will love it a lot more than a crazy coloured and glittery bath bomb.
I don;t have time for a bath.
I don’t have time to soak.
