9 Bubble Baths That Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again
One of the most affordable yet self-indulgent ways to practice self-care is to take a long, luxurious bath. Baths can make a serious difference when you're feeling stressed — helping you unwind after a long day at work, relax before bed, and, of course, get squeaky clean. And, the best bubble baths for adults will take your bath time ritual to a whole 'nother level.
Bubble baths are (obviously) not just for children, but that doesn't mean that an adult wants to use the same suds a three-year-old enjoys. Aside from the bubbles, bath products aimed at adults often include well-curated ingredients (beyond just standard 'ole, tried and true lavender) to help clear your mind and calm you down — or energize you, if that's what you're looking for. You can even spice up your bath by choosing bubbles made with different oils, salts, and soothing and hydrating ingredients that will leave you feeling anything but pruney when you emerge from the tub.
So, why not start (or finish) your day off with a revitalizing bath? These nine bubble baths for adults can take your average bath from boring to a spa-like experience, and send you back to your childhood when the more bubbles you could get, the better.
