FAQs on bath and body products
How can I create a luxury spa day without breaking the bank?
Can’t afford a day out at the spa? Create your own home spa day for a much more budget-friendly, but - if you do it right - no less indulgent experience! One of our bath and body sets, cheap candles (or fancy ones, but cheap will do), and a well-curated playlist is all it takes to trick your mind into believing you’re at an upscale spa.
Start by filling the tub using a deliciously-scented bubble bath, then turn the lights down low, light those candles and play some soft piano music or undersea sounds to create an ultra-zen mood. As for treatments, we recommend starting with an exfoliating scrub - don’t forget to give yourself a good foot scrub too for the full spa experience. After your bath, apply a hydrating oil or lotion to your entire body, slip into a cozy robe, and finish with a mani-pedi using your favorite nail polish.
Which bath and body products should I use for daily hygiene?
A great shower gel or body wash is essential. Choose one that contains hydrating or moisturizing ingredients, so it doesn’t leave your skin feeling stripped. Once a week, add an exfoliating scrub before your body cleanse to thoroughly slough away dead skin cells, or if you’d prefer to keep the number of steps to a minimum, simply swap out the bath/shower gel for an exfoliating body wash such as the one in our Glytone KP or CeraVe SA body and bath gift sets.
After your bath or shower, apply a lotion - all over if you have time, or to areas such as your knees and elbows if not - to keep your skin feeling soft and supple. And of course, a great deodorant is a daily must-have.
It’s crucial that your basic, everyday body care products don’t irritate or dry out your skin since you’ll use them so frequently. Are you wondering which bath and body products are good for sensitive skin? Our skincare experts love CeraVe products which are intentionally designed to not disrupt your skin’s natural barrier, and unscented products such as the unscented bath and body gift set by The Seaweed Bath Co. are also an excellent choice.
Do bubble baths have a hygienic purpose, or just recreational?
Bubble baths are not the same as bath gels - a bubble bath isn’t designed to clean the skin. However, a good-quality bubble bath will contain nourishing ingredients which boost the health of your skin, so they’re not only about creating a fun mountain of bubbles. If you’re wondering “what should I put in my bath for glowing skin?”, look for a bubble bath or bath oil which contains moisturizing ingredients such as plant oils or milk protein. Trust us, dry skin never looks glowy.
