I never considered myself a bath person—at least not until I got older. But as I’ve learned to embrace slowing down and truly unwinding, baths have become an essential part of my self-care routine. It turns out, I may have been doing them all wrong until now! After plenty of trial and error (and a bit of research), I’ve finally discovered the perfect combination of essentials for the ultimate relaxing bubble bath. The beauty of it is that the experience is customizable. Below, I’m sharing my must-have picks to elevate your soak into a spa-like experience.
Bubble Bath

Bubbles, are of course, the star of the luxurious experience of having a bath. The light, airy bubbles add a soothing element. Bubble bath products provide nourishing ingredients to help hydrate and soften your skin while you soak and interestingly, bubbles add a layer of insulation and retains heat in your bath. Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath is a great place to start. This brand is affordable and has a variety of scents and benefits. Here are a few highly rated foaming baths from Dr. Teal’s:
- Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt, Sooth & Sleep with Lavender
- Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt, Comfort & Calm with Chamomile
- Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt, Shea Butter & Almond
- Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt, Restore & Replenish with Pink Himalayan Salt
- Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt, Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus & Spearmint
Bubble Bar

Bubble bars are another way to add foaming bubbles in your bath. My favorite place to get them are from Lush, which carries a large collection of bubble bars to choose from. To use them, you can cut portions of the bubble bar, take one piece, place it into a sieve under the running water as you fill up your tub. Here are a few of their popular ones:
- Sleepy – Lavender, tonka tranquility
- The Comforter – Sweet blackcurrant bubbles
- Brightside – Sunny, citrusy bubbles
- Rose Jam Bubbleroon – A rose-scented treat
- Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds – Ambient patchouli bubbles

Creating the perfect bath experience is all about finding the right essentials that help you relax, unwind, and truly enjoy peaceful moments for yourself. I hope these suggestions provide you the basics and allow you to customize the best bath to feel pampered and refreshed.
