14 Best Bubble Baths for a Relaxing At-Home Spa Experience
Treat yourself—you deserve it.
There are few things as relaxing as taking a nice, long bubble bath. Just ask Oprah, who's admitted it's one of her favorite pastimes. If you aren't careful, though, sometimes taking a long soak can leave your skin feeling dry and uncomfortable.
The good news is that you don't have to completely avoid this self-care pleasure if you enjoy ending the day in your bathtub. You simply need to think more carefully about the products. So before you grab your fall book and wine caddy, make sure you're shopping for a formula that's safe to use and will cater to your skin concerns. Fortunately, the options available are numerous, so you don't need to pluck any old bottle off the shelf at your local drugstore.
When shopping for a bubble bath, check the label first. A good formula has a short ingredient list with natural, hydrating oils, like jojoba, and vitamins, like E, to moisturize dry skin. Ideally, bubble baths shouldn’t contain any sulfates, parabens, or silicones, either—especially if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant, or are drawing a bath for a baby or toddler. If you need more guidance, keep reading for a list of the best bubble baths that are safe and gentle for the whole family.
