I don't know about you, but I really love my bath time! I'm a mommy and I work full time, so ME time is a must. I don't always have the time for it, but when I do, I take full advantage.
For my baths, I like to feel like I'm in a spa, so I tend to buy luxury products that feel and smell amazing. I will spend a little more if the product gives me that pampered and relaxed feeling.
As for my shower products, they are much more affordable. Since I don't wash my hair every day, my showers tend to be super quick. The days when I do wash my hair are when my showers can be pretty long. My hair is long and thick so it can be time consuming. You definitely have to make sure all the product is rinsed out thoroughly. Otherwise, my hair feels weighed down and greasy.
My tips for both shower and bath time: Make sure you dab the towel over you skin after both. If you dab instead of wipe away the water, then you are helping the products soak into your skin as opposed to wiping the products completely off your skin. Also, make sure you have a bath mat so you don't slip and fall. At 47 years old, I have to take all the precautions I can. :)
Grab your favorite scented candle and light it up while you bathe. Play your favorite soothing music and keep the lighting very dim and use a soft pillow or towel under your neck for maximum relaxation. To even go that extra mile, I put 2 slices of cool cucumbers over my eyes. Oh yes, I'm actually wanting to get in the bath as I'm writing this.
I would love to hear about the products you love and can't live without for your bath and shower routines.

11) Muscle Soak Himalayan Salt, $35 - helps to soothe sore muscles and helps stimulate circulation.
12) Marinella Body Cavier, $48 - You have to be sure to mix this really well before use. it leaves the skin super soft. no harsh chemicals are in this product and they don't test on animals.
