6 Ways I Make My Nightly Bath Even More Blissful

Whenever I tell someone that I didn't have a shower in my house until I was in my late teens, they're always incredibly shocked. What can I say? Both my mum and I loved baths, so we never really felt the need to reconfigure our entire (relatively small) bathroom to fit an unsightly cubical. As far as I was concerned, showers were an oddity. That was until I started working and the shower my mum had finally permitted my stepdad to install came in especially handy when I was running late (which, admittedly, was just about every day).
Now that I have a bathroom all my own—with a shower and everything—I still prefer to soak than stand. I have a bath almost every night, particularly in the winter months. A bath is a perfect way to unwind after a stressful or busy day or to warm yourself from the colder temperatures. Having spent so much of my time soaking in a bath, you could say I'm a bit of an expert at drawing them, so I thought I'd share with you the products I use to elevate my precious tub time.
From nourishing oils and frothy foams to rejuvenating scrubs, elegant accoutrements, and calming reads, scroll below to discover the best bath products that'll make any soak feel significantly more luxurious.
