While ‘the everything shower’ was taking off on TikTok, I was bathing. I’ve always been a water baby, and while I’m still waiting to win the lottery and build an inside heated pool, the bath is the only way I can get my fix. Why stand in the shower when you can let your limbs rest and feel those knots gently release in the bath? Especially in winter months when you’re in desperate need of warming up.

Getting the right bath products for the job is crucial. After all, you’re soaking in them for a lengthy period of time, not slathering them on during a four-minute shower. From bath salts that float instead of dissolving to the oils that leave your tub slippery, I’ve experienced my fair share of bathing puzzles, so I’ve created the definitive round-up of the best bath products I’ve tried.

Whether you’re after a bubbly, milky or foamy bath, these are the elite products to add to your bath bridge for a luxurious soak. Now all you need to do is light a candle and pick up that book.
