How to Have the Best Bath of Your Life—You're Welcome
There are few greater joys in life than a well-drawn bath. While I’m an advocate for taking baths all year long (yes, even in the summer!), the feeling of taking a bath in the dead of winter, preferably with snow on the ground, is unmatched.
In my opinion, the absolute best way to take a bath is by tossing in a bath bomb. For such a simple little product, bath bombs are the whole package: They can fill your bath to the brim with bubbles, make your whole bathroom smell intoxicatingly good, soothe pain or stress, and even help hydrate dry skin.
Below, find our favorite bath bombs for the ultimate bath-time experience. If you’re a Harry Styles fan, we even found the bath bomb duo to re-create his eponymous album cover. Thank us when you’re at peak relaxation.
Our Favorite Bath Bombs for Every Occasion
For stress: Ouai Chill Pills
After a long day, these rose-and-jasmine-scented bath bombs are just what the doctor ordered. Hydrating oils also help soften skin while you soak.
For a luxurious experience: Bathorium Aphrodite Bath Bomb
Let your bath erupt in an explosion of blooms with this lavish bath bomb. Vanilla, cocoa, and rose help calm your senses while coconut milk and kokum butter nourish.
For the Harry Styles Fan: Lush Comforter and Lush Milky Bath
Ever wanted to re-create that Harry Styles album cover? We did some sleuthing, and we're pretty sure we know how.
While Think Pink isn't available in the U.S. right now, Comforter is another dreamy pink concoction. For what it's worth, it's also my favorite bath bomb of all time. It smells ethereally good—you won't want to leave your bath. I think Harry Styles would approve.
Best from Amazon: Da Bomb "F" Bomb
For dry skin: Fur Bath Drops
If you struggle with winter dryness, consider these oil beads your relief. You'll leave the bath with hydrated, supple skin.
For pain: Real Time Pain Relief Maxx Bath Bomb

For relaxation: Prima Bath Gem 25mg CBD Bath Soak for Relaxation & Recovery
