Self-care is more than just a buzzword for troubling times. It’s a way of life. Devoting time to small indulgences not only forces us to take a break, it also makes dealing with everyday stressors a whole lot easier. Pruney fingers aside, soaking in the bathtub is almost as good as a spa day and the easiest way to incorporate a little me time into your schedule.
If you’re more of a shower person, we understand the trepidation that comes with sitting in water for more than a couple of minutes. But au contraire. That’s nothing a little preparation can’t fix. Start by surrounding yourself with things that will detox your skin and also sit pretty in between uses. If you have no idea where to begin your search, bookmark these decadent finds as you put together the ultimate bathtub oasis.
